First freeze in south Louisiana. Got down to 31. Burrrrrr. Very cold. Cant get myself out of bed.
Dont know how yall survive in the north. It will be over for us in January / February

We have snow on the ground here in Southeast Michigan Richie.    I don't know how you survive in 100 degree 100 %RH environment.

[/QUOTE] it sucks being hot. Never get used to it. You got a point

Supposed to get 20 to 30cm of snow here in london, on

Still above 40 here in PNW, haven't seen 30s so far not even in next two weeks.

upper 60's here in Southern California near LAX. Some are already complaining about the "cooler" temps, but i guess we shouldn't.   :-)

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.

You're tuff.  You'd adapt.

Tad[/QUOTE]~same deal here in sw pa. unbelievable ~!

Well the weather is on the whole cold across fig territory all the way from usa to London .... other than California

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. Snow like we would see in Chicagoland.

You prefer 0 degrees compared to low 30 degrees. I think you fig trees beg to differ. ;-)

60's are my favorite weather! Only need a sweatshirt if you're being lazy!!

16F here the other night.

I see your in zone 3b. Thats just sounds cold. My missions love Louisiana. Lol. Going to get a fig or two perhaps 3. This coming season. Thanks for such nice airlayers. And yes they are still in the bags you sent them in. Roots are thick and white

I was born Littleton co and lived in denver for a few years. Very nice there. Want to move back ]

Glad to hear they are doing well for you! I hope they produce for you next summer. 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. It's just those few weeks in January lol

18 degrees here this morning

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.

We got down to 32 degrees in north Houston night before last, but still no frost yet. And we're back into the 50's for lows right now.

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...

    


Mission

Nice trees. Didnt know black mission had long finger leaves. I have a couple of small missions. Hope they grow like yours.

In my opinion - Not Black Mission.
Totally wrong leaf.

Maybe Brunswick on Mission to grow like crazy.

Closer to a Violette de Bordeaux. Lots of French figs in Louisiana.

I think Brunswick.

I've seen a second mission strain running around with leaves like that. But without fruit pics it's hard to say for sure.

Ive heard that mission has lond finger leaves but never seen a adalt tree before.

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?
