Yea he is probably 45 minutes for me and he does not wrap his trees from what I remember seeing somewhere. I don’t plan on wrapping most of them this fall. Maybe a handful of them get wrapped. Last winter was extremely cold and most of my other inground figs froze to the ground with only 1 casualty ( Cavaliere ).
It’s still green but it hasn’t done anything as of yet. It might pull through but it better get moving.
That's really encouraging! How many of the current list were inground during the terrible winter?
Some varieties yes but not all of them.
Not many. I think black celeste, Edith raspberry, Angelito, 258, smith were the only ones.
Can you please list some you’ve personally had success with. I’d put those on my short list in 7a.
thanks. I’ll definitely bump those up my list. From what I gather, those are awesome varieties even if they weren’t selected for hardiness.
How did Angelito do during this past winter, and your i258?
They both made it through the winter but these were of the few that got protected. For winter protection all I do is put a metal cage around the trees, fill them with wood chips, and then place a trashcan over the top of them.
