several weeks ago I dumped some potted figs in the chicken pen that had been in my over-wintering hoop house and didn't make it with our brutal weather last winter. this morning I was using the weed trimmer in the pen and found these two figs.

Maybe August?
Did these resprout from the root ball or low on the old trunks?
I had a similar thing happen to me last year after I didn't adequately protect some figs in the winter of 13/14.
I think it was June before they sprouted but it was long past when I thought they would come back.
Do you remember what they were?Kevin (Eastern MA - Zone 5b/6a)Comment

One of them grew from the middle of the root ball and the other grew out of an old trunk. I wont know for sure what they are for a while but I think they were either LSU purple or Brown turkeyTime flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana
