I love when fig skin cracks. Growing up it was a good indicator for me of which figs were ripe at my grandparents house 😅☺️

Hollier is a fairly common last name in Louisiana. It is pronounced "Ole-YAY"

Hey Ross, thank you for giving your time and effort for figs. They stand out as maybe the most worthwhile fruit tree that we can grow in the U.S. I know that's subjective, but hey, when you're right, you're right.

Thanks for sharing, good looking fruit

Probably holding up better to the rain due to it getting more established in the ground. Definitely looks like an lsu winner worthy of adding to the collection.

Is green michurinska getting ripe yet Ross? I think dalmatie might do well in that low light area too.

@RossRaddi Жыл бұрын

I disagree about dalmatie. No Green Michurinska this year. The tree was too crowded with branches. I did not thin it enough.

I'm from Louisiana trying to find the different variety of figs. Where do you buy all of the LSU varieties from?

Hey Ross, may i ask where you sourced this hollier from?

Umm where can I get this fig? I have a spot on my patio that only get late afternoon sun in the summer and shade in fall to spring! And another spot that gets half sun in spring and summer

@RossRaddi Жыл бұрын

I'll have some trees of this one in a couple weeks I imagine. Cuttings are sold in December if you want to go that route.

I want to buy cuttings from you for Hollier and black or blue celeste. where do I do this

@RossRaddi Жыл бұрын

On figbid. There's a link in the description to what I have available for sale. Quite a few more trees will be listed in the coming weeks.

That great Ross if only these figs werent so expensive. Not interested in spending $50 or greater for a fig tree.

@RossRaddi Жыл бұрын

Don't know what to tell you. Things are getting more expensive. Especially fruit trees. Not just figs. $50 is pretty reasonable for a fruit tree nowadays.

@danielsmith336 Жыл бұрын

Start them from cuttings. Join figbid or wait for Off The Beaten Path's annual cutting sale in a couple of months. Don't chase the flavor of the month variety and have patience and you can find plenty of great deals on figs.

@mashafasha5796 Жыл бұрын

50$ for a fig tree (depending on pot size) is perfectly normal asking price. Newer or more sought after varieties are going to cost 2-5x that.
