I'm not sure how far north figs will live, however, my brothers fig tree is in Nashville. we always had plenty in SE Ark where I grew up.
This is the biggest fig I've ever seen.

My grandmother had a tree big as that last one on the old home place, when I was a child. We used to eat them right off the tree. Mamaws preserves and buttermilk biscuits with fresh butter...Ummmmmm!

When I got done with my PT test last year April made biscuits and I ate 15 of them and a quart of figs at one sitting. I was stuffed and high on real food!

The best! I sure miss her and her biscuits. I make a pretty fair biscuit, but can't touch the ones she made!
