you start them from cuttings.their are some that are easier to grow for you than me as container plants.Brown turkey would be a good one for you to try as a beginner.you could try searching the nurserys around you or lowes& are a few mailorder places that sell fruit trees.
and I'd try growing in a 10 gallon contaienr.you'd start out smaller,but work up to a 10 gallon.it would be manageable to move,but if got a good back& a dolly well go for larger then.

I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!

Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, the more I read about growing from seeds, the more unlikely it seems...
I'll have to see if the Black Mission figs from Cally are even viable...
In my preliminary research, I had no idea that a ficus was a fig tree.![[Embarrassed]](im/redface.gif)
That's the newbie I am! ![[Big Grin]](im/biggrin.gif)

My Italian grandfather used to grow fig trees many years ago, and I thought it would be neat to try starting one myself. I know they're a lot of work to overwinter here in NJ, but I thought it'd be a neat experiment...
Thanks!
