Thanks to you too Gene!    My thinking is that I will just have to make up my 
own mind.  Gardening is such a personal thing, but I had hoped that there was 
an easy answer.  For sure there will be ,probably two ,fig trees planted in 
containers this spring.  I will keep everyone posted on what happens.

  Jeanne, well, apparently I was fooled by the tree sizes to think they  
  were winter hardy. This is the answer I got:

  I will let Don speak for himself, but, personally, I thought the fruit  
  had a good flavor.
