@CelloLady9 @RT93609537 Annie's right -- they might come back if they were established. If they were small plants with young roots. you may need to start fresh... which we can help with figskool.com

@RT93609537 @FigSkool They may come back the following year. New saplings sprout from a root ball beneath the soil’s surface. We thought our new fig trees died and then this happened the next spring.

@LoopysDaddy they do great! Cold isn't an issue at all. But you'll likely want a variety with a "tighter eye" so they don't split as bad when you get tons of rain near harvest time

@FigDevils How do figs do in Tampa area?

@Sriracha_king74 zones 5 to 11+.. but it depends on the variety. Life is easy if you're 8-9. Zone 5 is gonna be hard. Like most gardening, USDA zones have limited usefulness for figs too since it's just focused on cold, not the 15 other relevant factors (rain, heat, humidity, sun..)

@FigDevils What are they zoned to?

yup -- just want to be intentional about the variety, probably keep them in containers until you figure out where they'll thrive year round, automated irrigation is extremely helpful -- sometimes I have to water mine 2x/day in 15 gal pots but they love heat, even my 110F days in northern CA. Where are you based?

@FigDevils Sounds good actually. Can you grow them in the desert though?

@ASingeveryday I used to live in Kemah/Clear Lake

@FigDevils Nope, I kept noticing them as a kid (This is in Wharton Texas). I kept thinking there must be something wrong with the figs I was picking!

@ASingeveryday this is why we need you in the community!

@KaySacco totally doable. They're so hardy that you can "root prune" them too to make more room for them to stay in the same size pot instead of constantly up-potting them

@FigDevils TY!!! I live in a condo so I have a rather small area, probably large enough to plant one in the ground but I'd rather grow it in a pot and keep it small...

@ASingeveryday I've never heard of fig wasps in Texas pollinating smyrna figs! I've always been told they only really live in CA!

@FigDevils No, Texas. Things can be fertilized that way. You have parthenogenic figs.

@jsuNana001968 @MStemberg1 become a founding member at figdevils.com (it's free). Join and leave an awesome comment-- I'm selecting 1-2 winners each day for a few more days

@FigDevils @MStemberg1 How do I get one for free !!!!?????

@FigDevils I need to join your group, yes?

@ASingeveryday that is kinda scaring though..

@FigDevils Then that would be perfect! I never forgot the little dead wasps in my grandmothers figs.
