Can this fig be grown successfully in Kauai? Or is it too warm...?

I do not know the temperature in Kauai, I know this plant will grow well in warm to hot zones.

Figs originates in Mediterranean climate so heat seems indicated; I'd be more concerned about constant humidity into disease.

It would depend on your microclimates, but generally I would not recommend this tree for Zone 6. It seems to need bright, direct sun and a sheltered spot here in Zone 8a, so you'd practically need to build a greenhouse around it in Zone 6-especially if we have another fisticuffs with the Arctic Vortex. I'm sorry, but as Sassine wrote, you'd be better off with an American Persimmon.

I gave these tress to someone in North Idaho. Her response to your question: "I never placed the turkey fig in the ground, but brought it in for the winter. It is producing new leaves, growing...but no fruit this year. The Chicago fig died to the ground, but is coming up from root...the literature stated that it may do this and still produce fruit...so we well see."

I live in Glendale, Southern California. This plant should be put in a place that you know for sure is where you would like it. It Does Not like to be transplanted or even moved and will show you resentment. It had a Fit when I moved it and had a setback. It likes dappled sun or half day sun, half day shade. Don't over water, but don't let the soil dry out. It is very important to Not let it be in direct sun all day in summer or during a heat wave because the leaves will burn. Best of the best tree I ever bought.

This plant wont be able to handle anything under 30 degrees..you have to bring it inside during the winter so keep in a large pot you can move around

Yes you can do that. This plant want's a lot of sun and water. Don't worry about the degrees. It will grow gr8.

Mine still need a lot of watering to stay healthy(2 or 3 times a week & they are 3 months old), so if your sprinklers outside are running I would say yes. Depending on where you live, I would wait until spring when the snow is gone. I contacted the sellers about shipping in the winter time and they answered my question within days....so try contacting them...they would have the best answer. Hardy Basjoo Banana Plant - Musa basjoo. Amazing "hardy tropical" banana for the north or south, though native to the Ryukyu Archipelago which lies between Japan and Taiwan, Musa basjoo is also very common in parts of China. This specimen will survive temperatures as low as -20 if mulched. Full sun with lots of water & fertilizer to achieve the amazing growth rate, but it will do fine in light shade as well. Beautiful deep green clump can grow up to 18' tall or more, and really gives a tropical warm sunny feeling. Great for any place in the garden, especially great around pools or patios, courtyards and wonderful in a border with other colorful perennials & grasses.

I am in N. Florida, so the trees didn't have a bad winter here. Both are in pots, and stayed outdoors. Both are growing and doing very well. No fruit yet, and I don't expect any for a few years.

I have had luck with the seeds I have planted so far, and live in the Texas panhandle where we experience high winds coupled with extreme temperature swings. I am sure that with the number of varieties included, you are going to find something that will grow extremely well in your climate. I like to also try to create a micro-climate for other varieties to get them to flourish best.

Yes, I have seen them in three ft. high bearing fruits, growing on large scale in Up State New York, so why not? NC. has a better climate.

Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route. If you live in the South and winter temps don't go below 50, I'd put right in the ground. I planted mine in large (very large) decoratine pots and moved into the garage over winter -our winter temps run in the minus temps and only the strongest survive. My friends who had these plants live in the deep South so I assumed they prefer and thrive with the warmer temps dspite their claim that they are Northern hardy Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route.

I live in Northern Michigan and had to bring my tree inside for the winter. Unfortunately it did not survive. I did everything i was supposed to do but it did not make it. I was quite disappointed especially when I paid almost three times the cost of the tree for shipping. I purchased my tree from Lemon Citrus Trees. As far as your location, I don't know your temperatures down there. Best bet is to call the company where you bought the tree. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.Patricia

In Hawaii you have fantastic ability to grow many plants, especially many that will bloom more than the one time of a year like this plant. I encourage you to check the invasive species list too. Aloha!

So far it seems to be! I have only had it since last summer. It lived on the deck in it's original pot until around October. From what I have read it can be outside in temps as low as 15F at night so watch the weather. For the winter I moved it into an unheated garage. It looked like a little twig all winter but perked right up when I put it outside in the spring! No fruit so far but we'll see.

Mine have struggled, and a of the four planted this spring two of died. It appears, however, that the two survivors might be ready to take off and grow. My only advise is not to have too high of hopes, but they appear spectacular enough to try. If not, I'll plant hardy kiwi in their place next year, as they are doing very well reaching for the top of the fence.

I do not believe it will as it grows quite big. I live in Florida and mine is outside. I is about 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide and has not given any fruit. I believe it may be too wet here. I suppose it could grow inside but it grows very quickly

It seems to be happy in an area that receives only a few hours of sunlight.I have placed the plant in a large pot,and placed it in a few different spots, it looks happiest in the mostly shaded location.I plan on getting it out of the pot and into a permanent home ( mostly shade ) next spring.I am curious about whether it will retain its red or green color when I bring it in for the winter.
