for a presentation from Rob Sabo on figs!
Rob is a high school shop teacher in Surrey. He grew up building and growing things since he was large enough to walk. A few years before COVID he became interested in rare or interesting fruit and then heavily into fig cultivation as well as a number of other less common fruits and berries. Currently he has between 150 and 200 small trees, about 2/3 of which are figs of one sort or another. Currently he is one of the admins for the “BC Fig Growers” group on FaceBook!
Rob will cover:
The origins of the fig
Types of figs
Requirements for growing a fig
Requirements/techniques for cold climate fig growing.
Figs for our region - season length and harvest periods.
