WillsC,
 Thanks for sharing.  Have you noticed any less vigorous growth on the cordons compared with the standard vertical growing fig?

David,

  I also am a newbie to figs. F4f has become a daily read for me because the folks here have a wonderful spirit which inspires.

Pete, 
  In your pics at the start of the thread I don't see #3

3. Thoroughly soak the cutting, leaves and the Perlite with the fertilizer solution. Let the planter sit in 1" to 2" of solution for up to 2 weeks.

    Is the perlite floating in the fertilizer solution?  Thank you for clarification.

I live central oklahoma which has been in drought for the last 3 years.  I purchased a several figs already Celeste, Kadota and hardy Chicago.  I have bent the figs over so they are growing horizontally.  We have late frosts most years that kill the blooms on my peaches and pear trees and sometimes even get the apples so I want to be able to cover the figs easily.

Just wanted to thank everyone here for their contributions.  This is my first year taking an interest in figs and have learned alot reading the conversations posted here.  You have got me all excited about figs and I haven't ever tasted one but I have a good friend that thinks they are the best thing he has ever eaten.  Sometimes I think I shouldn't come to this forum because I'll get addicted to figs like the rest of you but it probably too late because figs have "got a holt of me" already.  Anyway, thank you all all the polite conversation.

I have had a fig bush in the yard for a number of years.  Each year it dies back to the ground and restarts each spring.  Last year I started getting interested in figs and after the 1st couple of frosts in the fall I bent it over and buried it in wood chips.  I am starting to think that covering the figs and kiwi each winter may be the ticket here to avoid the freeze back and also keep them from getting frost nipped in the spring.  That being said, what varieties would the forum suggest for central OK zone 7/6?  Thank you
