I'm having a great container fig year this year (75 trees in 5-10 gal
pots), Atreano is leading the pack for the biggest, juicest looking
figs, with Conadria not far behind. Of course, ripening figs in
Wisconsin is another matter & completely depends on when we get our
first hard freeze. Last year I only ripened a few pounds by that
time. The previous year I ripened 45 lbs... So far everything looks
promising for this year.
