Hi everybody, my name is Eric. I'm new here and thought this would be a great time to introduce myself and contribute to the group. Tad, I have been wondering the exact same thing. I am in Glencoe, Alabama, also in hardiness zone 7b. Even after a 2-month drought my baby fig tree (my first & it's from a cutting), planted in the ground, still has leaves on it and there's also new growth. I planted it out in an open area, so it's not sheltered. It's gotta be this warm weather. I can think of no other reason. But I'm really not sure as I am completely new to growing fig trees. I tried to post a photo of my tree, but for some reason it's not showing up. I'm on my laptop and the file size was small enough and uploaded successfully. Hmmmm Maybe I will figure it out. :)
