Figs are a delicious treat that thrive in warm climates but can also be grown in more temperate regions with a bit of extra care. Here’s how and when to grow a fig tree, plus harvesting tips for those who planted in spring! Almanac.com/plant/figs

1. Gorgeous! Hope you get a bunch more.

2. There are LOTS, only a few are ripe. It's a LONG 'bush.'

3. Was it a good year or is this a usual amount? Seems like fig trees are hard to grow.

4. Easy Peasy.

I live in SW Oregon. Dry summers. Hot summers. Mostly mild winters. (Zone 8) I have Brown Turkey and Kadota. Require no care whatsoever, lol. Yields every year require you process. Too many to eat fresh.

Edit to add... readily propagated by air layering.

5. Looks like a normal year,

and I think this 'bush,' 4+ car-length, has been here for many years.

NO CARE from me, or from neighbor/landlords family either. Southern MD.

6. Well, Maryland, that expians it. Our winters are too harsh. They freeze out. Enjoy.

7. My fig tree in Delaware

Is overflowing. I thought I'd killed it several times by not protecting it in the winter, but it's always come back. It's loaded this year. I've made fig jam before & may again. So far, I've just been picking and eating and sharing the bounty.

Fig jam on a rye rocks! Wish I could get some homemade self-grown stuff over here
