| Thanks for confirming my thoughts that JA might be able to take an 'unseasonable' move. I have some that have managed to show up (I'm thinking an animal may have dragged/dumped a tuber) way in the back of my yard-so if these do fail, I do have some 'back-up'. I've had these things for YEARS and have only had them bloom a few times-I'm guessing the weather/length of season has to be just right. I've been dragging my passies in an out with the seasons. This year I have three incarnata that I overwinterd in the garage, instead inside in the house, and they are going to be part of my 'zone-challenging' grand experiement. I've planted them in a 'primo' place (south side, next to brick wall of fireplace), and will mulch the bejeebers out of them so see if I can get them to make it through a winter here.... I also was given two 2-year rooted figs by the grandfather of friend (from upstate NY) who swears that planted next to the house, properly wrapped, will make it through a zone 4 winter.... I've planted one in an ULTRA primo spot (as opposed to just 'primo') and am going to wrap and mulch like crazy after the first couple of frosts... If I can pull this one off, I know I will have to keep it to a large bush, small tree size--but still!!!! If the one makes it, the other one will be planted outside next spring.
My goal is to come up with a fig that can (with protection) survive in zone 4 .... I'll try to remember to let you know how the 'grand experiement' went and if successful, maybe send you some cuttings... |
