I have noticed some people use "Nordland", while others use "Norland" to describe a cold hardy fig. Are they the same with just different spellings, or different all together?

I saw this too! I think (but someone correct me if I'm wrong) that Norland is a typo that has been propagated around the forum a bit. I've also seen "Northland" which appears to an anglicized version of Nordland. My guess is that these label all really mean "Nordland". __________________ Steve MD zone 7a

The word "Nordland" is german. It means "northland" or "northern country" in english. So I would say that I is a synonymous for a cold hardy variety which can withstand a colder climate. __________________ Hi from Germany! (Zone 7b) Christian

The correct spelling is Nordland. I may have made a mistake myself in the past with it. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138
