Around here the "hot" figs will be those that punch up best from the cold. Photos yesterday and today: 



Top in-ground trials this year are a mix of the ones I'm most expectant toward or curious about - latter 12 are Mt Etna types, at least mainly, some currently disputed. Looking for the most robust figs - early, productive, hardy. (Though on the list, Kathleen's Black, Fico Preto, and Black Madeira, I don't expect much of their coming back from the ground. Curiosity caused me to put them in good spots so might be interesting to see.) TOP IN-GROUND TRIALS, 2015:
