I'm a gambler at this point in my life. Actually I've been one regarding plants for many years. I got into figs because a neighborhood woman loved picking seeds from my front beds in the city. I caught her and engaged her in conversation. "Take all you want but say 'hi" when you do". So she did and we became gardening friends; she was invited to the back of my yard to gather goodies. One day she brought me 2 figlets in a 2" deep deli container; I already had 1 she'd collected sticks from which I hated. Yes, I thanked her all the time thinking "NO!". I absentmindedly set them on top of a raised bed and ignored them all summer. That fall, when I realized they'd lived, I took pity on them and stuck them in dirt where they went nuts. 38 or more different unknowns and few knowns later, I was raising FIGS. DOUBLE BLECH!
I'll take my chances. She's just a DC so unworthy, right? If she keeps going, I've got one who can survive this zone.
