In my recent video, I discussed my deep passion and experiences with cultivating and maintaining a vast fig collection in the Philadelphia area. My journey with figs began with a simple desire for high-quality fruit. But as my passion grew, my collection expanded. From initially seeking a regular harvest, I found myself driven to explore multiple fig tree varieties, leading my collection to grow into the hundreds.

However, as my collection expanded, I ran into several challenges. I discovered the hard way that not all fig varieties thrive in humid climates, especially around Philadelphia. Determined to find varieties resilient to humidity and capable of producing top-notch fruit, I sifted through hundreds. After extensive testing, I managed to narrow down to a select few that met my high standards.

I can't stress enough the importance of each fig variety's genetics, which play a significant role in determining its flavor, texture, adaptability to diverse climates, and overall performance.

For those just starting out, I'd recommend going with tried-and-true, standard fig varieties that align with their local climates. I shared examples like the Hardy Chicago for the colder regions and Celeste for humid areas.

Wrapping up the video, I encouraged viewers to immerse themselves in the rich diversity of figs but also warned against diving too deep, too quickly. I'm always here for advice, and I welcome anyone to visit my blog and reach out for personalized guidance based on their specific locales.
