My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Figs
dieseler

For Tony -Omaha Nebraska

9 years ago

Tony as i have aged its basically me eating figs only thus have cut down drastically

on number of plants last 5 years.

All in containers to name some figs Ronde, Hardy Chicago and several B.Madeira plants produce well here near Chicago in large containers.Have some others.

B.Madeira being the best tasting on palate but not suited for the in experienced grower in cold climates.

Negretta used to produce the most but skin was tough and after many years discarded it .

This season recently discarded Rouge de Bordeaux after 6 seasons of dropping its figs.
