Our friend, Bob from New York, brought us two figs that he propagated.  He gave them to us last fall.  Each one was just a stick or two in a one gallon pot.  They were already dormant, so we kept them alive in the basement all winter.

 

This spring we put them outside each day with our seedlings, and brought them in at night.  They started to sprout little leaves and branches.  

 

When the nighttime temperatures got above 50 degrees, we left them outside so they could acclimate to our weather.  And when they seemed ready, we up-potted them into three gallon pots.  They took off!!!

 

Now look at them.  Growing beautifully, and setting fruit.  

 

We don't really have a good sunny protected area to plant them in the ground, so we are going to keep them in pots and bring them inside in the winter.  It sure worked out well last winter.  We will have to see how long they can stay in three gallon pots, we may HAVE to plant them in the garden.  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
