What Figs should you plant in ground in Seattle?

So from my experience of growing figs here in the Pacific Northwest. I've come up with a list for Fig Varieties that should do well in ground in Seattle. (This is with little to no protection through the winter time).

How'd I come up with this list? These are figs that I left outdoors all winter in pots and in ground that have fruited for me. I'm in Zone 8B

This is a growing list as my collection begins to grow and it will evolve over time. So stay tuned in to this article.



This list is not just about if the figs will survive the winter. It's about figs that will fruit within our climate. Zone 8B

  2. Ben,

    I know you have done some of this in the past, but could you please do some categorization and ranking within this list? Not too many PNW fig enthusiasts will have the room to plant 38 varieties in the ground on their property. Thanks! K2
