Hi everyone,
Let me apologize in advance for introducing myself to the board with a question. I live 45 minutes West of Atlanta, Georgia and I have recently started growing a number of figs. I have for the last 4 years mainly focused on pomegranates, mulberries, and persimmon. After reading these boards quietly for months, I cut down my gargantuan BT and Celeste trees. I was never impressed with their taste and what I heard on these boards convinced me that I had to try something new and I'm now trying to grow a broader variety of figs. On to my question...To make a long story short, I ordered cuttings from UC Davis 4 years ago. One of the varieties I rooted was BM. After I rooted it, I put it in a sunny spot in my back yard. Unfortunately, it did not flourish. This fall I dug it out and brought it indoors thinking that this might help it strengthen it. After a month of being indoors, its one branch stayed green but otherwise there was no change. Three weeks ago in the midst of an unseasonable warm week of weather, I planted in a different spot outdoors. Stupid, stupid move...the recent cold spell likely killed it. Should I leave it in the ground and hope that it comes back from the roots in the spring? Or, should I get it the ziplock/spaghnum moss treatment? I would be incredibly grateful for your collective advise. And, let me apologize again for the abrupt way that I have intruded on the board.
