@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

@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

@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..)

[Fig Skool @FigSkool]

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?

[Fig Skool @FigSkool]

@ASingeveryday I used to live in Kemah/Clear Lake

[Fig Skool @FigSkool]

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

[Fig Skool @FigSkool]

@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

[Fig Skool @FigSkool]

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