I also used to be a member of the old community figs4fun. That's where I got all my varieties. I used to go by the name Figs4Life. Any old timer remember me?

I wish the growing season is longer in my area. A lot of fig varieties won’t even have a chance to ripen on the tree.

Holy crap!!! You don’t think Peter’s honey is a tasty fig? I absolutely love mine and I have about three other honey figs on my yard. I’m in Maryland so we basically have the same weather for it.

LOL I disagree that the average person would have no problem finding some of these! Had to get on a waiting list for Black Madeira. Never even heard of the Argentile one before this. I would like to see a list of the best figs which are also easy to find for the newbie.

@RossRaddi Hi Ross! 2 questions: You talk about the prosciutto variety. Is this the same as that known as unk prosciutto? And several people including Evan Durtchi (SP?) have suggested Calderona and Bass's Favorite Fig are indistinguishable, or maybe the same. Your thoughts??

@RossRaddi 11 ай бұрын

Yeah. The unk is rarely a necessary part of the name.

If it's well rooted, you can. You also want a well draining soil. Don't overwater it.

Hi Ross this is my first year growing figs I’m learning a lot from you I’m in zone 6a I stored my in containers fig in my basement but yesterday I found out they woke up what can I do now there in the dark thank you

@thegooch7206 Жыл бұрын

Put it/them outside at night just as long as it doesn’t drop below 32 degrees and as long as it’s lignified let a soft frost hit it a couple times. This always works for me.
