Canned Fig Preserves.

[simplepeddler]

Matt, figs tie me to my grand parents as well........Cappy those figs look great......
there is much information out there, but we are lucky LSU is one of the leading fig research universitys around........

at rural life facility, LSU has literally dozens of varieties planted some with trunks that are 12 inches and more!!

one mistake I made was, although small trees like water......once larger.....they do not like "wet feet"

Plant in well drained area, but keep them well watered the fist year...\

then Like capp said, also keep the freeze off the first year.......and if you really want production, take the first years figs off as soon as the come out.....let the plant use all it resources for roots the first year
