Abstract:

Figs are a wonderful fruit, however they are infrequently found in grocery stores as they have a short shelf life. To enjoy figs, the author suggests planting fig trees. The Brown Turkey and Celeste fig varieties grow well in North Carolina. While colder winters have been detrimental to North Carolina fig plants, the author urges readers to be patient as the plants will return. Suggestions for plant placement and growing conditions are included in the article.
