Need recommendation for heat/drought tolerant zone 7
Comments (1)She needs to go into the TLC on Memorial and ask for Marteen. He is the primary overseer for all conifer orders. He has years of experience with conifer survival in this area. He will shoot her straight on what will make it here and their variety to pick from is impressive. Unfortunately their prices are fairly high as well. I'm currently in the middle this spring and coming fall of putting in an extensive combination of conifers. I'm trying to see how far I can push micro-climating but definately anticipate losses. Our heat is not very conducive to a lot of conifers. mark...See MoreZone 7 figs

Comments (1)I am also on the border here in new jersey..I would not recommend celeste for a new fig owner they are finicky drop fruit and produce small figs.. I would recommend Marseillis vs black hardy fig of medium size good flavor. Dottato a green fig good amber center real sweet, or third would be a black mission if you like the mission fig taste medium size fig good fig taste. also learn how to winterize your fig in our area it is very important for a fig tree for the first few years 5-7 to be winterized and protected from freeze damage. Pruning is also something you will need to do to keep your tree under control next to the house. as if left unpruned and mild winter you could have issues. All your answers can be found in this forum or others email me if you have specific questions I can help.....See MoreBest Fig for ZONE 7
Comments (1)If you really want Brown Turkey there is no reason you need to buy it from the west coast. There are plenty of people near by that offer it. I would go with sals (genes strain) or latarulla. A lot of people like hardy chicago for our area, but I dont particularly care for it. Atreano grows great here also but its too bland for my taste. Good luck....See Morefoolishpleasure
