I live on the coast, in SLO. The "Mission Fig" (I don't know if that's a real name, but it's what they appear to be called here, grow like weeds. You can literally cut off a branch, stick it in a pot, and it will root easily, and grow another tree. Down town, near our Spanish Mission, built in 1772, there is an original fig growing along the creek. The canopy is probably 40' in diameter, and the trunk is probably 3'-4' in diameter. Many of the local figs growing at people's homes, are from cuttings that used to be sold off this tree, by the Catholic priests.

I was told and easy fix was to buy a female fig tree and place it near the tree cause it needed pollination to happen, so I did.

The fig fruit is actually a composite fruit, like a raspberry or blackberry, comprising many flowers, later fruitlets, all joined together. But with the fig, it's turned inside out, so the flowers/fruitlets are inside! So the fig wasp gets inside the hole in the base of the fruit to pollinate it.

Where are you in Oz? I grew figs well in Tamworth district, NSW. My best varieties were Black Genoa & Blue Provence. I tried Brown Turkey & White Adriatic, but they did not produce so well. I might mention, I planted the trees 2.5 m apart, & managed them like a hedge, with hard pruning in winter, shoot thinning in late Oct., & trimming the strong shoots at the top in early- mid Dec. The trees need good watering & manuring/composting/fertilising to produce well. They do not ripen after picking, & ripen suddenly, within about 4 days of becoming "squishy" ripe (when they actually taste best). However, I'd pick them for sale a day or two before that. Enjoy!

I had a brown turkey that a grafted kind and provided fruit 2 times a year and they all ripened nicely. That tree died during my landscaping and gopher problems. However I found small shoot growing a few feet away that I then planted. Not sure if this shoot was from the seeds of discarded fig or from cutting that was discarded during fruiting or the roots itself. This new tree is very healthy. It sas two crops spring and fall but none of the figs ripen. I tried extra water etc but no luck ripening not even a single one out of 30-40 figs each season. Is it possible that this tree is capri fig because the orignal root stock of my oringal brown turkey was capri fig and had brown turkey grafted on it OR or that it was from the seed of discarded fruit and ended up producing capri. BTW please Change the title to different fig types + Male (capri) vs Female - it will easier to find this nice video when searching.

How do you determine what kind of fig tree you have? I have a massive fig tree that's been growing in my yard for over 25 years. It bears fruit most every year but the fruits are medium to small in size. I live in zone 8. What can you tell me?

What a "figicious" information. Very interesting. I have seen fig like sessile bubbles on the stalk in asia. It must be an other family of figs.

Very interesting as I get these breba figs and didn't know what it was. My gardener told me it was to do with watering and has said not to water them now. So he has turned off all watering to figs in my garden watching this video I don't know if this is correct or not. Should I start watering them now. I have about six figs trees all different varieties

Interesting. I'm growing an organic, heirloom Violette de Bordeaux indoors, hydroponically. I got a breba crop at the end of the first year (bought it as a bareroot twig), a good, delicious, crop the 2nd year, and now I'm anxiously waiting to see some figs pop out this 3rd year. Got lots of huge leaves so far...much bigger than previous years. BUT...I didn't prune it, any of those years and this last winter, it didn't even drop its leaves. So pruning is on my schedule for this winter. Basically I lucked out when I bought it since I didn't know anything about growing fig trees.

By any chance could you give me some tips on how to grow trees hydroponically? Always wanted to make a setup, just never had the drive to do it since I thought hydroponic trees couldn't exist haha

@DrValerie800 3 жыл бұрын

@@GhostOfTheAngels Well first of all, let me say I am NO expert, especially on growing trees hydroponically...nor figs. I just winged it, after exchanging some comments with Dr.Kratky, who suggested I'd want to set up a reservoir tank with a float, filtration, etc. Which I did not do, mainly because I am just not that mechanically inclined. I had much success with my other Kratky method plants, except for the bug problem that resulted in 1/2 a huge leaf gone every few hours. Turns out the "bug" was a big black & white furry one named Stan...my cat who apparently LOVES his greens, LOL. So, I'll tell you what I did but you try it at your own risk as this is NOT the method suggested. I got a big plastic planter pot, put a self-watering gizmo in the bottom, filled the pot with several bags of Hydroton clay pebbles, plopped the bareroot fig stick (that I had just bought) in the middle, put an airline in, with a bubbler, down to the bottom of the planter, and filled it to the top with water. Said water was pH balanced to 7, warm, and then Silica Blast was added and mixed, then FloraGro hydroponic nutrients and pH was balanced to 6. That first year it got a few leaves and then dropped them, along with a breba crop. Clueless, I did not prune it but let it rest until spring, whereupon I sprinkled some Happy Frog 5-5-5 fertilizer on the top and watered it in. That second year, I got a nice crop of delicious figs but it didn't go dormant in the winter; again I did not prune it (like I said, clueless). This is the 3rd year and 2/3 of the branches are leafed out and still going. There are so many huge leaves that the branches are hanging lower. No figs yet but I just fertilized with the 5-5-5. This winter I plan to prune it, hopefully properly. I've heard that figs are not delicate and are hard to kill, which is probably what has contributed to my success, LOL. If you check out Dr. Kratky's channel you can see how to make the nutrient tank/float system. Good luck! :-D

@@DrValerie800 I'm going to check that out when I had the time but in the meanwhile I simply have Jose's with what's left of a bunch of hydroponic philodendrons 3 years ago ... any suggestions on what to put in the water as fertilizer because this is it I mean they're not looking too good and I just want to put something in the water that is simple that will feed them and help them grow and flourish .

@DrValerie800 3 жыл бұрын

@@gardensofthegods I've never grown those hydroponically but I'd guess that FloraGro would likely work (General Hydroponics). Look up what pH they like too and balance your water to the proper pH. If they have suffered too much of the wrong chemicals, you might have to give them some microbiome root stuff and maybe something like zinc. And like I've mentioned before, I'm no expert, I'm just a hobbyist doing the best I can. And since I don't really know what I'm doing, I just research to get a clue and then go ask the plant what it needs (by dowsing). That has been working well for me.

Do you know which type a "Chicago hardy" fig would fall under? I just picked up my very first fig tree, and chose the Chicago hardy due to recommendation that it would tolerate my southern Ontario climate well.

@RKfigs 2 жыл бұрын

That's a good choice. It would be a common fig and doesn't need the wasp to give you ripe figs 😊

My bush won’t grow from old wood and seems adamant about growing more branches anyway, it’s finally growing figs on the new wood it’s been growing all summer but I fear it’ll end up repeating the same process next year. Is it maybe getting frostbite?

Where can i learn more about root pruning a fig tree? What are the best figs for west central Florida. Our dirt is a lot of clay so thinking best would be to have potted figs. that produce a good amount of edible fruit throughout the year. Brought over some figs from italy but unfortunately the bottom opens up wide for bugs etc so virtually no edible fruit!

I live in the Med, we have 1 sole fig tree, produces every year in summer, theyre black and ripen without a second tree. Well my neighbour has many fig trees so unless the fly pollinates every year without fail then it's probably common female like black madeira? Do figs in the wild produce this way? Or do they need a male and a pollinator?

There's an old grain silo nearby with all but about 20 feet missing. The entire inside is taken by one huge fig tree which grows another 4 or 5 feet out of the top.
