toastcafe . my father also lives in southern NJ. He has a couple differnt fig trees and they all do very well. He has a celeste and tennessee mountain. Something about the jersey shore air that works wonders on fig trees.

Hi! A number of fogs shouls thive for you in Belmar. Good ones to try are Eastern Brown Turkey, White Marseilles, Desert King, Celeste, and, perhaps Magnolia. Eastern Brown Turkey has to be among the most adaptable fig varieties known! (At least the variety I have had for the past 40 years or so!) This variety will fruit well on rootsprouts if the top is killed. It will also fruit in tropical; climates, like Samoa where there is NO winter chilling!

Thanks for all your messages.
The fig tree site was very informative.
Now all I need is the yard!
