Ive been lurking for a while and figured I better thank all of the people here for the great information they have made available. I'm new to this hobby but already love it. So far all I have are 4 trees but have 4 more ordered for next year. Right now I have RDB, Hardy Chicago, LSU Gold and an unknown from trees of joy. I'm not looking for anything just in case you guys were worried I was going to ask for cuttings or plants, maybe when my trees are larger I will consider trading. Thanks again everyone!

Keep browsing the posts and your bank of fig knowledge will overflow. __________________ Zone 7b (Central Arkansas) Seven trees in the ground: Hardy Chicago, Celeste(?), LSU gold, Italian Black, Southern Brown Turkey(?), Strawberry Verte, and Unk yellow.

I have lots of other plants to take care of so I hope I don't get to thirty lol. Maybe if I start growing some in ground I might hit that number. Any other growers in Missouri?
