Nectarine blossoms! Just got this little Arctic Sprite Miniature #Nectarine tree last year and am hoping for fruit this Summer. Off to a good start. #flower #backyardorchard #fruittree #stonefruit #spring #permaculture #flowers #zone10B

In Zone 10B, my figs are outside all year. Not sure about tips for zone 5, but am wondering if grow lights or heat mats would help yours get a head start before it's warm enough to go outside. Congrats on your success so far. Good luck!
