[AG-EQ] Figs

[Jewel]

Tracey!  ignore the question I posed in my previous post for, on reflection, I realised that, as you 
were speaking of fahrenheit temperatures, there is no such thing as 10+:  that would be 42 wouldn't 
it and minus 10F is near enough to the 5C that I said Southland gets occasionally, but those 
occasions, at least in the Mataura River valley are getting fewer and farther between as each winter 
passes.

Tracey!  When you say that, in NJ, winter temps can go down to 10F, is that minus or plus?  The
Southland winter is getting warmer and warmer, so that now, a morning frost of more than 5C is very
rare indeed!
Having little regard for the rest of the world, I say "If this is global warming:  let me have more
of it!"  mind you, the warming is not specific to winter:  the summer temps are also on the way up,
and now, I find that a day of 25C is about as warm as I can tolerate, so those days are spent inside
the house, and I leave any vigorous work until it has cooled down a bit:  like going out into the
weed patch to deal death unto its residents at 3am when it is nice and cool!

Hi Jewel.  How cold does it get in your winter?
Here in New Jersey, we get down to around 10 degrees F, but that doesn't
happen too often.  Last winter was long and cold, but my fig tree came
through well in my little greenhouse tent.  I bought a fig called Chicago
Hardy, which can die back all the way to the roots and still come back.  It
didn't die down that far last winter, so it came back well and quicker than
last year, when it did die all the way back.  It's a lot more like a shrub
or bush than a tree, with lots of trunks and branches coming out from where
it died back to.  Do fig trees in warmer climates look more like trees?

Yesterday was, for the Southern Hemisphere, the first day of spring, so I
haven't inspected any of
my treelings since the beginning of winter, but at that point, the
indications of future figs were
pretty faint, if detectable at all, but who knows what the coming glorious
summer has in store after
a very mild winter.
My thoughts are with the storm-tossed residents of the Bahamas!!!

Hey Jewel, did you get any figs from your little tree?  Mine are producing
at a great rate.  There are a lot yet to come, too.  Sadly, many of those
will not have time to get ripe.  Wish I had a real greenhouse, or, better
yet, a conservatory as part of my house.

Tracy
