I'm 7b, Georgia, GA. Not sure if anything else besides zone is similar to lower Manhattan.

My Brother in Staten Island NY has his fig tree( Angelo's dark) in the ground with no winter protection and it does fine. I have one extra if you want it? Vito

Calliope's Red Greek unk. Has a history of being very hardy. 80 years in ground in Michigan.. Can't argue with that.

George, try to find a Bourjassote Grise'. I hear a lot of good things about this particular variety for cooler zones, similar to London.

I also live in 7b Georgia...around here in Athens, the most common figs you see are Celeste and Brown Turkey. HC would be very safe, I agree. __________________ Athens, GA USA Zone 7b My young trees in the ground and in pots: Brown Turkey, White Triana JM, Magnolia, Strawberry Verte, Violette de Bordeaux, Panache, UK Brooklyn Dark JP, Ronde de Bordeaux.
