What’s your USDA zone? Do you grow those figs in barrels? If you have the time, please tell a little more about how you manage them.

We are Zone 8, Virginia Beach, VA. We transplanted them from pots to the ground last fall. They're about 5-6 years old. The trees are Ficus carica, 'Petite Negra'.

The trick is to keep the birds from eating them. We have some netting that we'll try.
