My figs always do well here in NJ. Never ever wrapped them. They are all over in Jersey. Lots of Italians in this region that brought them over from italy. They have become so hardy over the years. My two varieties are also from Italy. The black bird is a Cormorant. They travel through here every year in migration. Here is a better pic I shot of one.

Good! I just remember your lows dropping pretty far. Chicago hardy fig is apparently from mt etna...
Yes! That is a better pic. We have a family of them here, was 4 the last 2 years, might be more this year. They live my the floodway near my house (im less then a mile from lake superior). I see them every morning in the same light post, kicking seagulls off in the process. Theyre pretty interesting birds and apparently a sign of decent water...

Yeah, they are beautiful. I love to see them sunning their wings. I read they do not have oils on their feathers like water fowl, so they need to dry their wings. Makes for a good show.

Mike, thanks a lot for the NJ spring tour. Banana plants are lovely. How tall do you expect seeing them in the Fall?

We have a 34 F (+1 C) in the forecast for later this week. VERY tired of shuffling pots in and out. 😡
This is 36oN latitude, for Pete's sake!
