DESCRIPTION

A Complete Guide

Growing Figs in Cold Climates is a complete full-color, illustrated guide to growing figs in cold climates. Written by gardening expert Lee Reich, coverage includes pruning techniques, cultivar selection for different climates, overwintering, pests, harvesting, and small-scale commercial production.


Grow sweet, fresh figs in climates previously considered impossible using proven protection and variety selection techniques. Complete guide to extending fig cultivation into zones 6-8 through winter protection, container growing, and cold-hardy variety selection.

Why Cold-Climate Fig Growing Is Now Possible:

New varieties and protection techniques enable fig cultivation far beyond traditional Mediterranean climates. These methods have been tested in locations with winter temperatures down to -10°F.

What You'll Master:

  • Variety selection for maximum cold tolerance without sacrificing fruit quality
  • Winter protection techniques that ensure survival in harsh climates
  • Container growing systems for mobility and climate control
  • Seasonal care including pruning, fertilizing, and harvest optimization
  • Propagation methods for expanding collections and sharing with other growers

Cold-Climate Success Stories:

Growers in zones 6-7 report successful harvests of 20-50 pounds per tree annually using these protection methods, with fruit quality matching warm-climate production.

Enjoy Mediterranean flavors in northern gardens. Essential for fruit enthusiasts wanting to expand growing possibilities beyond traditional climate limitations.
