LMFAO

Keep going, Jan! Let them ripen longer.You'll be surprised! But again some varieties don't do well in the rain, so you'll have to consider that when picking.

Well said, Victor.

100% agree

Organic Gardening in North Carolina please do!

Ross Raddi okay I did a video on my tree that's been producing the most. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bK2mnaxoy8iZoaM.html

I have a very large Mastiff dog, she stands on her hind legs and eats the figs!! All of them! Help!

Keep potted figs above 17F or they will likely die.

Never mind. Found this on ourfigs.com, answered my questions I think: naldc.nal.usda.gov/download/15714/PDF , ...Stage I - is characterized by a very rapid diameter increase and slower rate of fresh and dry weight, with almost no change in sugar accumulation. ...Stage II - is a quiescence stage that is marked with almost no change in fruit diameter, dry and fresh weights, and sugar content. ...Stage III - is characterized by accelerated rate of increase in diameter, in fresh and dry weights, in water as well as in sugar content. During this phase of growth, over 70% of the total dry weight and 90% of the total sugar content is accumulated in the fruit. Breba Figs: Stage I ... Spring growth to quiescence (stagnant stage or stage II), 7 - 8 weeks Stage II ... Quiescence stage 2 weeks. Stage III ... Ripening 2 weeks. Main Crop Figs: Stage I ... Rapid growth to quiescence (stagnant stage or stage II), 5 - 6 weeks Stage II ... Quiescence stage 3 - 8 weeks (depending on the fig variety) Stage III ... Ripening 3 - 5 weeks.

You got it.

Good to know.

I guess what he is talking about in the video about too much water in a plant and its fruit is why Ice Wine is such a highly prized type of wine. The grapes are actually allowed to be hit with a frost after fully ripening and are then harvested and processed into wine. After the frost has forced the grapes to draw water out of the fruit and increase and concentrate the sugar content inside the grapes to actually protect them from being frostbitten. Thats the way that it happens from what I understand anyway.🤔 Also,we have a humongous fig tree on part of my grandmothers property that has been there since she bought it back somewhere in about 1967 to 69. We have NEVER,EVER watered it and it does just fine and always has tons of sweet and ungodly good figs about the size of ping pong balls AT LEAST. I have pulled one open before and I can promise that they actually have so much sugar inside them that they can actually make your fingers and hands ridiculously sticky. Sometimes they will split open and the juice that oozes out of them is about the consistency of honey or maple syrup and the bugs have an absolute fit when that happens. And we live down here in Tennessee and it can get hot and dry AF down here and it does just fine. The only real problems we actually seem to have is actually getting to them when they are ripe before the bugs,deer and the birds can. They absolutely love them and will totally clean us out if we aren't careful enough. The lady I used to work for used to beg me to bring her some whenever I had a chance to. She had a fig tree as well but they were not as big and apparently not as sweet as ours was either. If I brought her a lot she would can it and make her some canned figs or preserves for later and put it on toast and biscuits. 😡 God dang it.... Now I have done gone and made myself hungry talking about those figs and grapes....😆

Likely that the nursery messed up.

Fig leaves are also very variable. Especially young.

Joseph Hernandez has it fruited yet?

This is a sign of a lack of water. Also you should trim the root every other year.

Hard to say without pictures. Send me a message here on KZfaq or on one of my social media accounts.

Diba, Potted figs need to be brought inside or into a garage for the winter. Keep them above 20F, but below 50. They will remain dormant until spring. Then you put them back outside.

20-50°F = -7 to +10°C.

John Lord I would suggest anyone to plant trees with strong roots 10 plus feet away from the house.

that is a myth. I don't know how this started, but figs grown from cutting do not have a Taproot. Instead they go out horizontally and stay shallow. Often 2x the width of a normal tree's drip line. I know plenty of folks in various parts of the world with figs right up against their house that have been there for years. No problems.

Ross Raddi i

I have a very Large Turkey Fig Tree that is growing next to a chimney of my house. It is the only one that I planted that is close to my home....Planted also several other cuttings years ago in my yard and they really took off....Just be careful cause if you plant to close to your house and not trim the fig trees and you have a heavy wind Or Storm it will NOT be good for your house 🏡 and will be terrible 😥 for your Fig Trees....Fig trees need a larger area to grow in so they can spread their Beautiful branches out....Do yourself a Big favor and save yourself a Big Headache. Your Figs will LOVE ❤ you for it in the coming years ahead. MOVE THEM NOW while they are young from being that close to your home....DO A TEST...Leave a couple where you have planted them now against your house. You will later see that the move was a GREAT 👍 Idea and you will have very HAPPY 😊 Fig Trees and you will also be HAPPY 😊 and will Reap a Great Abundance of Beautiful Delicious Figs for many years....

Yeah, right away I was concerned with their spacing. My fig tree trunk must have at least a foot in diameter.

I have a lot of videos covering all of these topics. Thanks for watching.

Garry Cole if they are in containers, it's likely the pots are too hot. Put tin foil around them and mulch them with woodchips. That problem will be solved. May even need the pots in the shade.

Garry Cole if things are shriveling up that's not enough water. Maybe you will have to water twice a day in the desert in containers.

I'm in 8b/9a Sacramento area... we have 3 different figs in the ground (all from cuttings). 2 are starting to produce this year, and are delicious, but the other one seems to have the same kinds of issues Garry's does. The fruit it produced both last year and this year is very dried out. It does not have good flavor, either. The tree doesn't look stressed. It was from a cutting, from a cutting of a tree found in an old abandoned area. ((( You know, down by Dry Creek, so it was dubbed the Dry Creek fig, until farther ID could be had, by someone in our local rare fruit growers association. LOL))) We also have figs in pots and those are watered at most every other day, when it's 100+, so I'm guessing Garry, you need to move those babies into a spot the pot has a bit of shade. We have used coffee bags draped over tomato cages to shade smaller trees, as they don't need FULL shade, but gives a canopy in the most intense part of the day.

you can find them at Walmart or amazon

Jbnathan Let them grow out in a 5 gallon pot for a year.

Age Of Empires: Rise Of Rome they're about the same. It's believed that some take shorter or longer, but I haven't confirmed that myself yet.

Ross Raddi, thanks bud. I think I read somewhere that their figs ripened after 90 days. So I'll just use that as a general rule to pinch.

I water my 5 gallon sized pots 8 ounces per day.

The most important thing you should know for now is pinching. I have plenty of videos on the subject.

I didn't know that and I guess it is to late this year to try. I will began this regiment next spring. I will check out your videos on pinching. Thanks

nickka2009 Hey man. I made a video on this planting a few weeks ago. A must watch as it really goes into detail of the micro climates in that particular spot. As for them being too close to the house, that is a myth. I don't know how this started, but figs grown from cutting do not have a Taproot. Instead they go out horizontally and stay shallow. Often 2x the width of a normal tree's drip line.

thanks Ross. aside from the taproot or fibrous systems, there is inevitable growth of the trunk circumference. By the way, your smith tree is doing great. i'll have to post a pic on ourfigs. thank you again for the Smith i won. Nick

Joseph Hernandez if the tree isn't drying out too much, you should be fine. I would be careful to confirm that you do indeed have Smith and not something else first.

Joseph Hernandez nuy

Azores Dark probably.

People use rain shelters aka greenhouses.

@@RossRaddi Is this because the plant needs direct sunlight? Another question. Does the daily water help the plant grow faster?

Old But Gold trees of joy!

In Turkish they are called incir.

Sounds like an issue with the variety.

cathrine m my fertilizer regimen is in a video I did recently. You can see it on the home page of my channel.

cathrine m I give a 5 gallon sized tree a quarter of a gallon of water daily.

Many things. I'll do a video answering the common reasons.

newt13 spacerider spotted winged drosophila. It's a fruit fly that is attracted to fermenting soft fleshed fruit like figs, raspberries, blackberries & strawberries. Once the fruit fly lays its eggs inside, your fruit will turn rancid.

Sorry to hear that :/

I had to buy and use netting yo put over the trees to protect figs from birds,

I'm jealous.

Prune your fig trees in winter to a height that you can easily net. If you want to avoid losing the breba harvest do so in early summer.

Yup. Give them enough water to keep them healthy.

In a place where you shouldn't be growing figs :D Very wet and cold here.

Philly.

This fall. Can't take cuttings if my trees aren't dormant.

@Ognjen Mali You can but it will hurt the growth and production of his small trees.

"figs replace seafood that's way figs got the same equivalent of a oysters" you ever ate a oyster ? seems ya landlocked people dunno much about seafood or like you got some veeery strange fig varieties around .....gnhh, the horror.... with fig cuttings stoneage people started agriculture more than 10 000 years ago in that region but was a bit less dry back then down there here in Germany the most likely place to find feral ones are the floodbeaten riverbanks of the Rhine …. guess letting reproductive pieces of yourself get washed ashore somewhere else, just the quickest way to gain ground for a plant that doesn't produce true seeds in our wesp-free area, but it (and many other rivercases elsewhere in Europe) showing that they can thrive also under such conditions

wait, I know where your oyster misconception might derivates from : not that long ago it was common to associate certain properties with certain foods, some due to their effects on the body, some just by their look a even longer time ago figs and oysters were both associated with a certain female body part and with fertility…. the latter one pretty important for ancient folks… first one also.... in ancient roman times the fica (latin for fig) was also a very common and "telling" gesture and so popular that we find fica-fists for instance in the form of little charms/pendants all over the place ….place of dem romans quite enlarged and culturally affected also your old sassanid east but believe me, when it comes to taste there are *ABSOLUTELY* no similarities between oysters and figs ! I live direct at the oystered northern german westcoast and grow plenty of different fig varieties in my garden and definitely know what I’m talking about
