panache4 good as potted fig zone 6b-7 ?
Comments (5)Mark:Huge figs does not mean tasty figs. No Offense but usally the smallest size figs are the best tasting. Usually the tree that form embrio very early will be the first to get ripe. If the Panache and Blue Giant has enough time to ripe fruits then they are ok for our area. You are now in position to tell us. It is true some cultivar are late in forming fruits and that is a minus in zone 6 and colder.I do have a good number of young trees wich are late in forming fruits but i blame it on being too young. Only growing we gain experience.Peace...See MoreZone 6b - No Sign of Fruit on Black Mission Fig
Comments (3)You are not by chance feeding it too much nitrogen are you? I've heard that fig trees that receive too much nitrogen tend to grow vigorously but do not fruit. Also, you might want to try pinching any stems after 5 leaves which will encourage fruiting....See MoreAgave in zone 6b/7
Comments (5)I grow the same kind as cactuspaul here in OKC. A. havardiana is the largest cold hardy agave you can grow in Oklahoma. I quit messing with any cactus, agave, succulents or yucca that are not cold hardy, its just not worth it. Sooner or later it'll get killed and there are too many hardy choices available. When I first started out I used to run outside in winter to cover stuff that was good only to lows in the 20's. That is for the birds. A. parryi spreads around a lot, you'll get many babies come up around the original plant. My soil is amended with coarse sand. I live on a slope so there is no standing water, good runoff. Try this website. Kelly Grummons sells lots of cold hardy desert plants. He's great to order from. People trade on GW too, you might check it out. There is an annual cactus sale at Will Rogers Park in OKC, usually around the end of May or first of June. You can pick up all kinds of cold hardy outdoor types there. http://www.coldhardycactus.com/...See MoreIs this a fruit tree seedling? I'm in Northeast zone 6b
