Actually, Niagara County is surprisingly temperate--warmer and much less snowy than Buffalo and the south towns. It's been famous for apples, pears, and stone fruit since the 19th century; we even have some vineyards. But yeah, maybe we'll add figs and bananas.

I live in Bucharest (Romania), located at ~45 Northern latitude, and I’ve first started seeing fig trees around here about 10 years ago. In the last few years I’ve started seeing more and more of them, so much so that I’ve started taking photos of almost all of them and I’m thinking of putting those photos on a map and exporting the geo-locations somewhere on GitHub in a .kml or geo-json file for other people to look at.
