Average outdoor weekly temperature is 33.6F. The greenhouse average weekly temperature is 51.5F and its thermostat was set around 45F. Today I've bumped the thermostat up to 55F to try and get some of the greenhouse trees to flower/grow. |

Motivation to get a Desert King fig tree is that I'm trying to appreciate fig fruit, and for years I've always chosen terrible fig varieties that never ripened. DK is known to produce a good breba/early crop, tastes decent, and does well in the PNW. |
