I began collecting starter fig trees in October, I have 20 now in my collection, didn't realize the addiction that came with them. I'm focusing on the different varieties that do well here in SW Florida's heat, humidity, and rain. I've got all of my figs in 15g pots to protect them from the nematodes and so I can bring them in for storms. I'm excited to look around, get to know everyone, share, and learn!

Hi Sukimu! It is quite the addiction! I am currently growing Celeste, vdb, negronne, beers black (I learned that vdb, bb, and negronne were the same after buying them!), black mission, c's red, lsu gold, lsu purple, ischia, panache, magnolia, yellow long neck, magnolia, miss hall, Smith, clbc, olympian, kadota, lattarula, and a mystery fig that had no tag. They are all growing well, they all just took off over the past few weeks when it got warm. Some of them have gained over 6", my slowest, (magnolia and lsu gold) have only put on an inch or two. I'm very excited to watch them grow. They're filling my lanai in 15g pots so that I can save them from birds, critters, and most bugs, especially those nematodes. What are you growing?
