White Triana or LSU Gold for Zone 5b Ohio?

13 years ago

Hi,

I'm new to figs and the fig forum, but I grow lots of brambles and unusual fruit on my (too shady) half acre subdivision lot. I just recently got interested in figs, and am hoping to pick some varieties that will work in containers in cold Ohio. (They will winter in my attached but unheated garage.)

I was thinking of ordering either LSU Gold from Hidden Springs Nursery or a White Triana from Joe Morle. Any thoughts on which would do better in my climate and situation? (The pots will be in my front yard, with full sun.) If I order from Hidden Springs, I would probably also get either a Celeste or Hardy Chicago. If I order from Joe, I would probably get a Black Triana, too.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

Thanks, Phil and Marius - everyone on this forum seems so helpful and willing to share. My problem is, I have no idea how to root cuttings and think until I get a little fig experience under my belt I had better start with rooted plants.

Do either or both of you grow and have success with the varieties I mentioned? I am also really interested in a Dark Portuguese from Bass. Any experience with getting these figs to ripen and be productive in this zone would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again -

MK
