Hi everyone,

I'm for canada on the south shore of Montreal. I'm in zone 5. I been growing figs for 5 years now. I have : Latarulla, Jean-Talon, brown turkey, black mission, grosse grise de Notre-Dame, Vincenzo, colosanti's Dark, stella, paradiso, panache, drumondii. I will be adding a couple more this spring. I grow in pots and store them in a cold room. Get them out usually in mid to late april and bring them back in mid november.

Have a great one

Vincent

Welcome Vincent!
I'm always trying to learn how others grow figs in cold climates with short growing seasons.

HI Vincent, welcome! Looking forward to hearing about your experience growing figs in zone 5, especially heat-loving ones like Panache!

[Vincent_15]

Hi Sarah

The panache did produced this year 2 fig. I will see what it will do this year. My tree is still young so the figs didn't have great flavour

Welcome Vincent, I also have the Colasanti Dark and would like to know what your opinion of that fig is.

[Vincent_15]

Hi DaveL ,

For me it is a great producer. I bought it 2 years ago and it produced from year one
