Living in Zone 6 - what time frame should FIG buds (fruits) begin. Not talking about Breba. __________________ In Pots: Ronde De Bordeaux, Black Mission, JH Adriatic, Sals El Gene, Celeste (EL), Black Madeira, Sumacki, White Marseilles, Lebanese Red, Persian White, Genovese Nero Zone 6 - Nazareth, Pennsylvania, USA.

Depends on their condition coming into the season, but for zone 6, I'm thinking main crop typically appear around June. sometimes May. If more start forming from now on, they may not ripen in time, depending on the variety. __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

I'm not holding out hope for anything to ripen that develops after next week since it takes about 3-4 months for the figs to ripen after they first appear. As Frank said, when they appear depends on the conditions. Whether they are in ground or potted, protected, shuffled back and forth to the garage during the start of the season, died back, etc. __________________ Don - Columbus, OH.

I'm in 5b/almost 6a. The last 3-4 weeks I have had figlets show up. About July 15th is my cutoff date. Anything that forms after that I will pull. I will do the shuffle with a few but not everything. __________________ Jeff in zone 5b Wish list St rita,Vista,Sal's G,De la Reina, preto, Sport and pops purple red from Bellaclare, Planera Malta Black, Navid Unk Dark Greek,

Here are they usually starting to forming main crop figs at the middle of june, or early june , but it depends of the variety and the weather condition of the year. The earliest former here is the michurinska 10. __________________ Kristian Location:Hungary,zone 6B Currently growing: Freckled Beauty, Saint Anthony, Saint Maritn, Martinete (Pérola), Armenian, White Marseilles, Ronde De Bordeaux, Hardy Chicago, Marseilles Vs Black, Gino's Black, Natailna, Sal's El, Laradek Ebt, Green Michurinska, Michurinska 10 , Vagabond, Negretta, Negronne, Orsara, Dalmatie, Laradek Ebt, Adriatic Jh, Improved Celeste, Kútfeji Black, Black Plate, Deszki mézédes
