Charles Dowding is the man!

Chris Trump, Matt Powers are big time soil nerds

@ZomVee @SpiritFarmVa I just looked him up on YouTube. Sorry I forgot to check him out before. I remember watching some of his videos before and you are quite right about him. He’s VERY good. Thanks for reminding me. 5stars for that

Historical Monthly Climate Data

ONJSC :: Historical Monthly Summary Tables

Assume other states have similar but this is for New Jersey. As a whole, this past January had the coldest average temperature (28.3F) since February 2015 (22.3F). It’s easy to see trends when looking at the extremes from 1895 to present.

For East coast fig growers, Pete has left up his Virginia page which I find a great resource that covers many varieties.

Any idea if the proven ones are for pots or in-ground?

Almost all of Pete's trees were in pots, he only had a handful in ground.
