Hi everyone id just like to introduce myself, my name is chad I'm new to the fig game but have recently started converting my yard into a small edible landscape. I've got 2 figs currently a Chicago hardy and a brown turkey and they seem to be doing well I'm a pretty big permaculture buff and an avid outdoorsman if anyone in the Rhode Island area would like to get together and Talk figs or take a ride around looking for trees to collect cuttings from send me a PM
Also here's a link to a walkthrough of my yard in early April when I started planting

Welcome to this forum.

Hey Chad! Welcome. I too have planted a perma-culture yard. I hate watering grass that I can't eat. I have Grapes, Figs, Citrus, and assorted fruits. Once established they should all produce well. Nice to have you with us.

Chad --

Welcome!  I'd be happy to talk or get together.  Where are you?  It's not like RI is a big state, but you know the problem -- it can take an hour and a half to get to a town that is just across the bay.

BTW, if you want to find trees for cuttings, just ask.  Almost everyone knows somebody who has a tree, usually started by their grandfather from a cutting carried from the old country.  Just don't risk your life cutting a tree without permission. :)

Yea I'm not that kind of person to walk into someone's yard without permission but I've seen a few trees by brown college and in a few Greek neighborhoods in Cranston id like to try to get some cuttings from
