Hi, I just paid a visit to Adriano's and got myself a Desert King.

I was thinking about growing this guy indoors for a little while under HPS lighting. Since this is pretty much a breba only fig in my zone (no fig wasps), does anyone know if it's possible to get a breba crop (that doesnt' require polination) out of this fig without putting it through a winter rest?

On a side note, I was just amazed how he managed to grow a his fig trees to 10'x10' in our zone (5b or 6)... He protects it by bending the entire thing down (without digging/breaking any roots) and covering it with insulating blankets and a tarp. Quite amazing. Aside from his 160 varieties for figs, he's got a few nice verieties of grapes, apples, pears, plumbs, and even guavas and kiwi. I wish I could have a garden like that! =)
