I hope to increase my collection & knowledge of this great plant.  

Breba are forming as I make this post, 4/09/2011.

My figs have to date been container grown, but will be planted into the earth this season using the technique(s) of another local fig collector/grower.  I'm hoping for increased success in 2011.
My best to all of the fig growing enthusiasts here. 
You're a blessed group of individuals.  Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Brown Turkey grows wonderfully here.
I had difficulty with Kadota.

Hello Artfuldodger,

thank you all for the information

Andrew - very nice website - best of luck

I thought this map might help people determine whether they have the summer heat to ripen specific fig varieties, based on where others are growing them.  You can see why they have so much trouble in the Pacific Northwest!

Hi everybody...my first fig tree, Negronne (I think that's how to spell it).  I've never tasted a fig...hope this is my first.  East Tennessee, zone 6b, would like grow other fig trees, in the ground.....any suggestions?  Glad I found you all!

That fig looks huge!

I am looking for some cuttings that will do good in Zone 5, 50 miles south of Chicago. I bought a Chicago Hardy from the local Lowe's for $2.00 a couple of weeks ago. Don't know if I bought a pig in a poke there or not. Anyone have any suggestions or want to send a poor fellow some cuttings to try and root, instructions needed as well, appreciated.

I'm new to fig growing and have planted several in ground here in south-central PA (6b, 7a many years, ~4 degrees for a low last winter).  I'm going to protect them for the first couple of winters then see how they fare:

All figs are variable in cold resistance depending much where the Mother tree spent,life and if it lived there for 50-100 years.
Then it adapted to local climate.

Herman--can I find some of these cuttings at usc davis - I am in a colder climate fingerlakes ny zone 5--

Del Portogallo: very big figs? waiting for my first crop

I am new to figs and so far Ihave planted Celeste, Brown Turkey, Black Mission. I have 5 planted and 7more to plant that at this point are in pots ! Should I plant them now or wait until they are dormant?? Thanks, Brad Culpepper abcsr@windstream.net

Welcome to the forum, Brad! Without knowing what zone or city you are in it is hard to properly advise you. Also, this thread is for discussing varieties that are performing best  for members. You should probably start your own thread and introduce yourself to the members. Once again, welcome!

The neighbor has a green fig that has a cherry red color fruit inside.

Welcome, Armando!

Are you trying to get the tree identified? If so, it will help if you can post pictures of the different leaf shapes and the fruit (exterior, interior, and opening at the bottom). You should do that in a separate thread as this one is for members' best performing figs at their locations and everyone may not be looking here. Thanks and welcome!!

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a Raspberry Latte Fig Tree?

The original source for the Raspberry Latte is the very host of this fig forum;

I have to add to my original list of Best Figs at my location.

I really like my Lyndhurst White fig now after 4 years of growth in a pot. It tastes good and grows good. It is greenish/yellowish when ripe so quit often I get a surprise during ripening season when unexpectedly I find a couple of ripe figs that make my day. I am waiting for the next season.
The others that were good this year were Vista and Negronne. Slocan (Longue D'Aout) was good tasting but not so pretty in appearance in my area.

I'm from Bandung-Indonesia. I have collection some figs:
Red Israeli(Khurtmani)
Negronne
Purple Jordan
Green Jordan
White Genoa
Conadria
Adriatic
Long Yellow
Flanders
Blue giant
Syrian
Red PVJ?
