They are supposed to do well in my region, and require virtually zero maintenance after they're established. No insect pests ruin the fruit, which is a problem with nearly every other fruit tree in this area (the Ozarks).

My neighbors have some figs and they really taste amazing, a lot like a peach. I'm getting the same variety, although the name escapes me now.

They do get emptied out by local robbers sometimes--raccoons and possums--but otherwise no issues.

I'm really excited to get them in, after seeing the success next door.
