Steve,
A friend and fellow market farmer just across the state line in Georgia, Zone
7,
grows figs and they're prolific. I rooted some cuttings of some of his
varieties (mainly Brown Turkey?) to try them here. I'm on the Cumberland
Plateau at 2,200 ft., so that puts me somewhere around Zone 6.
I've got them covered with pots now and we'll see if they survived the last
arctic blast (+10 deg.). Yours should do well in a hoophouse, but be sure you
get the hardiest varieties and keep them pruned. The air in an unheated
hoophouse will reach freezing, but the soil probably won't, protecting the
roots.
