33 degrees here in Dayton, Ohio. We drove up from Cary, NC on Friday - ate at a McDonald's here in Ohio at 9:00pm - 72 and beautiful - 12 hours later 32, snowing and howling winds. At least I was smart enough to take eleven of my new potted cuttings with me so they would not have to take the cold in our garage in Cary. Tad __________________ Tad Einloth

I must say hasn't gotten cold for me in LA yet. Been here this time a year. It isn't cold till it hits 0 degrees out below. I miss the snow? I keep saying we need a good 2 ft.

I think we are only registered zone 3 because every 10 years or so we get a -40F January storm. Most years we don't break -28 which would put us at zone 4.

I know the figs don't like the cold even the miss named "Chicago Hardy". Turned out not to be that Hardy in Zone 5. I didn't know I would miss the cold until I moved to LA. Don't miss moving 5 gallon buckets with Figs trees to over winter in buildings.

its 83F in Kenner right now. shirt off taking pics of my fig trees still with fruit on them.... :) coldest night we had was in the mid 50s, then, only for a few hours. running the air conditioner right now. all still have fruit except the Black Mission, but, it only had 5 all summer, its still small. Most are loosing leaves however, except the Black Mission has only lost a couple. I am wondering if this means it will hold more fruit longer when it gets older ? a younger tree i have with no ID is holding several still... No ID...

I've seen a second mission strain running around with leaves like that. But without fruit pics it's hard to say for sure. __________________ Currently growing 50-60 varieties, this season's cuttings dependant. Hopefully I'll get to taste a few more this year...

I think with any tree mass produced for orchard plantation there are bound to be variations cropping up. All the strains from what I have heard react about the same to heat and to rain, and that's the important part I suppose? __________________ Currently growing 50-60 varieties, this season's cuttings dependant.
