Growing Figs in The Pacific Northwest

I recently found an article about fig growing in the Northwest that explained the mysterious process of pruning fig trees in a way that was crystal clear, as well as the ways in which the breba and main crops differ. Figs are pruned in a completely different way than any of the rose family fruit trees (apple, pear, plum, peach,cherry, apricot).  Here is a link to the article:

I should make it clear that I don't like to do much pruning on anything, but it's good to understand how the two main crops form on these trees. Another thing I like to do is use a garden hoe as a hook to harvest my big Desert King tree. Standing on the ground, I hook the hoe over the fruit laden branches and gently pull them down where I can reach up and pick them. I also use my tripod orchard ladder and my hoe to get the highest, out of reach fruits.  All my other fig trees varieties are smaller dwarfs and/or in pots, so they don't need the garden hoe or ladder.

That's a great comprehensive article for people in marginal fig areas - thanks M.K. for posting the link. I don't have a fig yet, but I know that people do grow them successfully in my lattitude.....
