I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone!!! I've been reading around these forums for a couple years now, gathering info & getting my bearings. It's official, I'm ready to grow figs! Got my 1st tree this Christmas (seriously, one of my best presents ever!!!), a Chicago Hardy, and am so excited that Spring is nearing! I live in Zone 6 Flemington, NJ, so I'm fortunate to have Bill's Figs as a local resource. Since my fig was a gift, I haven't actually been to Bill's yet myself, but can't wait to visit soon to see his operation in person. This ongoing list of everyone's personal ALL STARS is so helpful (and addicting! I don't even have my 1st tree growing, and I already want more ;-) Right off the bat, I think I'm going to add 2 more trees to my initial growing attempt; either Marseille Black, Celeste, Italian Honey, or Florea. I guess I'm looking for what everyone is: staggered & plentiful production and great taste. PS. I'll be growing my figs against a trellised south-facing deck base, in Bill's self-watering containers & overwatering in the winter. Helpful hints appreciated ... Fingers crossed!
