(Thank you Diane in the Driftless!)
Cali; Congrats on the grapes anyway!
Try figs! (If you like them!) You can grow them in pots or put them in the ground. They will tolerate heat
Since Kansas gets hot (although not too much this year) I am going to try them. I think I can make them work. I’ll just have to bring them in in the winter. (6b...can get down to -5 on occasion) If I move I can take them with me (At least the ones in pots!)
(Time for bed! Good night!
Figs in pots?
Good idea!
My mom has a big fig tree in her yard but she lives in a place where the critters get them first.
I read somewhere that in Italy they used to tip them over and bury them or something so they wouldn’t freeze in winter.
If they can survive that they’ll probably survive being in my yard...

Burying?
Doesn’t look like they’d survive by looking at the picture but I guess they do....
