Great video Ross but one question, when you said the "fig"did you mean the fig fruit don't survive temperatures below zero or that the actual plant surviving below zero? Am I right to assume you mean the fruit can survive lower temperatures before dropping because obviously the plants can withstand much lower temperatures below zero
Absolutely. Over the last 10 years I've grown 100s of fig varieties. I've tasted 500 or more varieties. Plenty of them we're not very good. Especially if they needed pollination, didn't ripen properly, were destroyed by weather, bugs, animals, or are an inferior variety.
Another fig on my radar now….lol. Thanks Ross.

The tree. The fruits themselves will fall off the tree after the first hard frost.
Semi-serious question. Have you ever tasted a fig you have not been fond of?

How cold does it get in Philadelphia (even in a 10 year period?) lowest temp night?
My location is 7A. That's a low of 0F.
