Growing Figs in New York
Now I live in the part of New York State where the winters are long and cold, climate zone 5B.
So why do I want to grow figs?
You already know the answer to that if you have ever tasted a sweet, sun-warmed, tree ripened fig. If you haven’t, I hope this inspires you to give it a try.
Currently, I have two varieties that reliably produce figs for me, Brown Turkey and Chicago. I want to increase the number of plants for my garden and have a few plants to give to gardening friends.
I’ve been doing a bit of research on the best way to propagate cutting from my fig trees.
Watch for updates as the gardening season progresses.

Here’s a video by @daddykirbs that shows the method he uses to start new fig trees. I’m going to try it.
