Hello
Does anyone already has ripe main crop figs from michurinska-10 in ground?

Hi I am in zone 6 too. Here are some photos of my unk. fig tree and main crop fruits. Tree grows near wall. Summer is warm, not hot but humid. 

I will recommend Michurinsk-10 (syn. Florea I think) Very hardy, and early figs giving tree. This var. is from Bulgaria. But I can't help with Italian 258 or Col De Dame Grise cuz I don't have them. 

Greetings from Poland 

That's great. Huge fig tree in ground (Zone 6) That sounds very good for me. :)
I am back in home so I can show some of my fig tree. Figs grow in cold and cloudy climate of Central Europe. 

Michurinska-10 (One branch survived my winter without any protection)

The only photos that I've got from yesterday. I can see small buds but I don't know if they are new shoots or figs. I wish for us very hot and dry summer. 

Very nice
This is a little update of my collection.

It is a little fig? 

What about your figs?

Regards from Poland

Helo :) 

This is my statement of temperatures for last year. This temps enabled me to had a main crop last year from michunska-10 (Florea(?)) but what about other figs. Which varieties I should try for main crop?

Unfortunately for US members this is in Celsius, I coudn't find in Farenheits.

Yeah now I can say for sure that was caused by cool and humid weather. As a proof photo from today, after few very nice days.

I've just check this fig and yea, after nice weather yesterday leaves are becoming straight. So curled leaves was caused by heavy rains and high humidity I think. 

No, unfortunately I didn't have any hot day, just mild or even cold days as for may days. Few days with heavy rains and lack of sun for few days, that is what I had. 

figpig_66 By tender you mean weak? 

As in topic, what is wrong with leaves? I didn't have any frost, so can it be a effect of have rain? The leaves are curled.

I don't know, the second site is telling that " Florea figs are known for being large and juicy" my figs (michurinska-10, florea?) were juicy, but small, not large.
I've never heard bout this figs ('LSU O'Rourke', 'Nordland Bergfeige') so I cannot help

Most Poland had temp above avg, only my south side part unfortunately had temps under avg. :(

But you can check in my other's posts, that figs fruit survived :)

Or try with unheated hoop house. One of the best varietis for you could be Michurinska-10. Very early and very productive fig tree. Will produce a main crop, should be ripen in hoop house. In my location gave my some figs last year. I planted it near west side wall. I am from Poland. My climate is so wird. On begining of april we had +27C and 2 weeks letter we had a little snow fall and light spring frost, but thanks wall my michurinska is ok, but I think that you should start growing your figs in hoop house and in pot to can easly move out, if temp inside hoop hosue will be too high.

Bornholm diamond could be ok, in hoop house you can protect your fig tree from spring frost.

Here in Poland we speak about summer when daily avg is >15C

Regards from Poland ;)

OK, I will put this tree into plastic pot. Thanks for advice ;)

But what about digging out fig tree straight from the ground to pot only for wintertime to put it into the basement until to plant again in spring and do it for every each year. Will fig tree will suffer with this method?

Hi, I am curious about digging in and digging out fig tree for winter time. In this year i dig in fig tree in pot, but what about digging in and digging out fig tree without pot. How fig tree and roots will tolerant this? Will fig tree will be behind time in compare to others fig?

I would like to digging in Panache tree, for this moment it's looks like at the picture:

No for sure I am not in this zones, as far as zone is for minimum temp. I cheat a little my climate with this. I paid for it something about 2$ ;) 

But figs withouh this help also have some leaves

Hi I'm curious how looks like your figs in ground in this zones, I would like to compare. And you can write if your figs give you main crop.

Here is mine fig

Here in Poland it's time to begin new season :D

Michurinska-10

Hi helike13, Lengyel, Magyar két jó barát :D

Hi kkk2210 Greetings  from Poland ;)

When I was a kid I could not wait for winter. Today I hate winter and cold. I would like to have some mediterranean climate, but with a little bit milder summer. ;) 32C (90F) is enough during summer.
Until forecast will not show -10C (14F) I will be not cover fig. In last year that was end of december.

I hate this climate. One years ago, temp was around 27C (80F) Today is around 0C 32F and snowy. :( 

 What about rest of central europe?

tyle No problem.

ChrisK I'm only waiting, cannot do anything. ;) 

jdsfrance Unknown fig appeared in beginning July, and stopped development more over 10 VIII Panache appeared in late July and stopped development 2 and half weeks ago. I didn't fertilizing in this year, sometimes I'm just added some banana peel to soil in pot, or eggshell 5 or 6 times in this season. That' all

Yeah, fruit is not growing. Here is my fruit compare to 1 euro coin. It's main crop, I cut of leaves for more sunlight. 

Panach also have a "holding time"? I thought that is too small for that.

Hi my figs doesn't grow since begining of August. They had meny sunshine and hot, but they didn't grow. I marked line on fruit, and the line is now on te same place like month ago. They grew very well and fast in July, but in August they stopped development. This fig tree grows in pot.

These are roughly my details for August in Celsius. Max and min.

Hi, it's my new fig tree, that i received from my colleague. Here it's original fig tree.
Italy. Riva del Garda.
As you see it's probably good water tolerant.

And my fig tree:

Depends which var. you have. Mine michurińsa-10 

Panache still nothing.

I'm also in zone6 but I have milder summer than you.

After mounth and half in ground fig grows ok. I can't wait to next season. Since couple days fig is growing in something like this

And here my Napolitana 

This fig tree is probably the best to our climate conditions.

Hi, 

Anybody of you grows Michurinska-10 in ground? Already producing fruit in cold central europe climate.

Did it is good idea to cover a fig tree by this to speed up fig?

Hi,

Did anybody grows this fig in central eu? And how hardy is this fig, I found on web that is hardy to -17C.

This is my fig, I bought it few minutes ago. :P
