I loved eating any fruits that I could get my hands on them and usually about 6 of different kind of fruits daily. With Figs, I also liked them all. Sugar fig like Celeste. Honey figs like Lattarula, LSU Gold. Berry figs like
I-258, Strawberry verte, and the rest of the top tier figs.
And all the Mountain Etna’s figs like 600M, Gino Black, Dark Greek, … I just liked them all. I still have a 5 lbs frozen figs for jams.
Tony,
I have not master getting my potted figs to get going early yet. This year, I brought them out a bit early when temp was in the mid 35-40 F… Next year, I will try to get them out earlier. Figs should tolerate temp over 0F right?
But I also feel that when I brought them out early, they sat there doing nothing until it gets warmer. Do your potted figs grow when them are still in the 30’ and 40’?
I built a 60’X60’ cement patio for my figs. The cement retained the heat from the sun to help the fig growing. I gave my brother 20 fig trees and I told him to go Home Depot and buy 10 cement boards and put all the potted figs on them. They are doing real well in Roscoe Illinois.
