Default Brown Turkey figs?

"Jane" wrote in message ...
Hi,
Does anyone know if I can grow Brown Turkey figs in zone 6.5 Maryland
without taking the tree inside during winter? And which edible tree sources
are reliable?
Thanks for your time.

Here in probably a similar zone 6b in Connecticut they die back to
the ground and grow enough to just bearly bear fruit in a good season.
I figure we have 180 days without frost. You can wrap them or lay them
over in a leaf filled trench to cheat winter like the Italians in
Westerly RI do.
