Subject: Winter Protection in colder areas - please post your photos Replies: 18
Posted By: crazy4figs Views: 1,884
 
I found these fig trees in a nearby neighborhood this fall and just went back to see if they were protected for the winter. I couldn't believe my eyes. The adjacent garden is meticulously kept so the owners must spend a lot of time caring for their figs and other plants. I hope to talk with them some day to find what goes inside the fig shacks. nearby figs.JPG

Great story. Figs are wonderful but when we don't have any it's nice to read about them. The story of this quest will take its place among the legends. I hope the fig bounty will be as rewarding as the story!

This is great to hear since all the cuttings I purchased from you this year on ebay are doing well. Thanks for sharing the cuttings and your opinions.

        Such a shame to have a good intention taken advantage of.
        A friend has very productive fruit trees along his driveway behind some commercial garages in the city. Every year he is beside himself to find people in his driveway collecting the fruit.
        I have been toying with the idea of planting a Chicago Hardy in a sunny spot, but it's close to a public street with many pedestrians. If it turned out to be productive, I'm pretty sure the figs would disappear. Someone even stole a few volunteer squash from the same spot that grew from the compost mulch!

This kind of comparison is very valuable to me as I try to figure out the differences between varieties unknown to me. Thanks!

Nice report of a gardener's happiest surprise, finding something wonderful from a plant that isn't getting a lot of attention. May there be many more delicious figs for you!

Pretty soon there's not going to be much room in that garage for parking:)

Great pics of the little one enjoying the figs. A great advertisement for the surprising flavor of the fig.

How gratifying for a first try! I don't think you will be waiting long to see those lovely long roots on the walls of the cups.

Very nice and so many vigorous roots in such a short time. This year I started cuttings for the first time. Maybe next year I'll work up to air layers.
