I would love to hear taste report too because my baby plant died last winter.

For sure @Naeem. I’ve had a hard time with Thermalito too. Not all due to plants failing, but also trades falling through. I’m very excited for it!

About how many trees are in that picture? I’m trying to gauge size and space for a couple or three fig trees to do double duty as fig glory and privacy hedge where my kitchen window overlooks my neighbors TV room.

Total area showing in picture is 12 Feet and about two and half plants are showing.
Please see picture below.

Awesome! I was guessing 3-ish. My fig source asked me how many I wanted. So I think the answer is 3. 
The neighbor are down a small hill, so height isn’t so much the goal, but lushness.
FYI, I’m just south of you in Columbia. They will be on the east side of the house, with a full southern exposure. So I’m hoping a good location. I’m kind of new to figs, fruits, etc.

Great please keep in mind you have to cover these in winter I am sure you know that. When temperature goes below 15 or 10 F exposed part of the fig will get some damage but most likely will re grow from the base coming spring also if a plant is weak and may not come back at all.

I have an old friend in NoVA who makes a cage around her’s and piles all her leaves inside the cage. I was hoping to do something similar. We will have leaves and leaves and leaves. I will use some to bury my bananas and other tropicals that I don’t want to dig up (namely colocasias, I’m going to experiment leaving them in the group this winter. Digging up was only 10% successful anyway)

I did this in the past and it worked fine for me.

Excellent! The 50 year old pin oak and sycamore will make themselves useful!

Is this one fig plant?
No. It’s 3 planted in a clump. Here’s a few more. They are pouting quite loudly over their move in the wrong season, and change of light conditions. 
Still awesome to have a friend that deliver and plants figs for you. 
At 9pm.

You seem to get a lot of room. Any reason to plant 3 fig plants in one area? When established, even one plant can grow to 8’ round on its own not even protected in zone 6 or warmer. They can be even larger in your zone 7.

Here is an unknown I mark as “Princeton Italian”. Planted several of those in ground last year and half of them show figlets. Hope to see and taste the fruits this year. Had issues with winter protection. But a couple breba still survived.

I was looking for pretty immediate screening. The house you see in the picture is not mine.
Also, the grassy areas behind in in other picture, that make the yard look huge, are a bit misleading. My actual yard is actually pretty close to my house, with a utility main behind me. I’m actually hoping to fine my survey stakes today.
