Thanks for the info ladies! Happy Figging to you both.

One of our figs is Celeste. They suffer from fruit drop. I would not recommend the Celeste type; the Brown Turkey is about 10 feet away in the same conditions and performs quite well.

Any idea if figs can be planted outside in Cincinnati OH?

We don't have a Fig Forum, Victoria but there are listings for many types of fig in the Plant Database. Just type in Edible Fig to get a list.

There is one that looks like it is hardy in your zone, called Chicago Hardy. Here's the link to that one Common Fig (Ficus carica 'Chicago Hardy')

Most of the rest might be pushing the zone a bit, but maybe in a very sheltered spot like the south side of a building, or with a very generous mulch over the roots every winter you could pull it through.

The other question that lurks is whether you have a long enough summer to actually have the tree ripen fruit. No idea on that one. It might depend upon the year - if spring comes early, no problem.

We have a Vegetable and Fruit Forum; I started a Fig thread over there hoping to keep the information about figs in one place for easier reference:
The thread "Figs" in Vegetables and Fruit forum

Most Fig tree varieties need to be located in a sheltered area with good southern exposure if you are pushing the zone; in your area you should plan on covering the plant during the cold months.
