Hi All,
I have an Italian Honey fig that grows in a large pot here in Zone 6.
It spends the winter in the garage where temps don't get lower than about
18-20 F; it spends the summer on the porch.
I get 12 or so fruits as a breba crops, and a small regular crop, provided
the Japanese beetles and other critters don't beat me to them.
The fruit also suffers from disease--I assume it's a fungal problem but I
haven't really tried to diagnose it.
