Notes

Gift cutting from my father. This variety is the less cold-hardy (name tba). Has yet to set fruit.

2014: both plants tried to make fruit this year, but my inconsistent watering failed to bring any to fruition. The cold hard species is working on making a second set of figs, so here's hoping that more consistent watering will help!

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
