My father grew figs in piedmont NC. They were the best figs I have ever seen. I do not know the variety.

My Mother-in-law grew figs in NJ. She just wrapped the plant with burlap every winter. I have also seen where they dig a trench next to the tree, then dig up the roots enough to lay the tree in the trench and bury it for the winter then dig it up again in the spring.

I had one in St. Augustine. It was called a Brown Turkey fig. Ugly plant in the winter, pretty in the spring/summer and good to eat as fig preserves.
