I can't believe I'm actually going to write this...(I fear the word that everything written in cyberspace is there forever) but I actually wish I lived there (in N.J.) for the cameraderie of other fig growers closeby.

I am also in zone 6 and that will have to suffice as their knowledge should also apply to my area once they identify the best for taste, productivity and hardiness.

Well thank you Anthony,

Was a great pleasure to meet you and your son too.

All this fig pioneering stuff, may best be directed to
the NJ fig-man, aka, Herman...

The cuttings you gave me are not cuttings at all! They
are fat 1/2 - 3/4" thick, ~3' fig suckers (with some
roots), that I already planted DIRECTLY into 5 gallon
buckets, and should to do well!

Thanks,
George (NJ).

Well it seems as thought I missed all the fun. I should have booked my flight for yesterday instead of today.

Thanks Antonio:I do not deseve To be called a fig man.
I am just trying to find a few figs(3or4),that will grow here,and have a superior taste,so it will be worth growing.
The problem is that very few will do,and not necesary the best tasting.So I think very soon ,you will be having the same fun we have.
But is a good habit,and one of the best,and peacefull, Hobby.Peace to all
Keep up the good work.!!!
