Taking Fig Cuttings and Storing Fig Cuttings: When and How To
Рет қаралды 41,924
4 жыл бұрынIn this video, I discuss when the best time is to take fig cuttings from your trees and order fig cuttings online. Many gardeners begin pruning for cuttings or buying fig cuttings too early, and it may be in your best interest to be patient and wait until later in the season. For gardeners that have already taken or purchased fig cuttings, or cannot wait to take them or buy them, I discuss how to store fig cuttings and keep them fresh for months so you can root the cuttings later in the season.

I pruned some of my figs a few weeks ago and got caught in a rainstorm, but powered through it. 3 weeks later, my arms are still full of burns from the fig sap. I was blistering and peeling for a week. Fig sap is no joke - don't prune them during rain in a sleeveless shirt.

@TheMillennialGardener 4 жыл бұрын
I can sell cuttings, but it has to wait until the winter. I prune my trees in January. Yes, you can take and sell cuttings off the same tree every year. They grow back quickly. Any fig tree can be cloned via cutting because figs are easy to root, but some fruit trees are very difficult to root from cutting and don't work well (like stone fruits). When it comes to cloning most fruit trees, you want to grow a rootstock from seed, head it and graft a piece of scion wood onto it. That's the best way to clone most trees. Figs are an exception because they root so easily, so you don't see them commonly grafted for that reason.

Once dormant should I put the potted fig in my living area where it will be 70 F ? If I do that the leaf growth won`t be strong enough come spring and afraid when acclimating the pot outside the sun will be too strong which might shrivel this growth thus retarding the plants growing season ?

@TheMillennialGardener 4 жыл бұрын
That is a good sign. A better way you can tell is by making a very tiny cut in the wood. Don't go too deep. In my experience, the wood is more likely to bleed than a fig at the node, so if the wood doesn't bleed when you make a surface cut in it, it probably truly is dormant. I can pick off green figs now and the tree won't bleed, but if I slash the wood it still oozes sap.

@TheMillennialGardener 3 жыл бұрын
It is definitely best to up-pot during the dormant season, especially since you'll probably want to do some light root pruning at the same time. You don't want to root prune when the tree is actively growing. I think the best time, personally, is the late end of winter while the tree is dormant but going to wake up soon. In eastern NC, that's going to be mid to late February. The trees are pretty sleepy, but we can expect budding out in March sometime.

By the time I noticed it, it was already uploaded. If you are using headphones through a 3.5mm headphone jack, if you pull them halfway out so only half the 3.5mm male end is inserted, you'll have dual mono audio and it'll work in both earphones. If you use a Lightning connection, you can't do anything about it, though. Sorry, my fault. I've since returned that mic for a better one.

Nola Borrego I am having a similar situation in my area. We have had 4 or 5 freezes, but they have been brief, and it has been 70 degrees here for a week with little end in sight (I’m not complaining!). Long story short, my trees are not truly dormant, either, and I don’t believe they ever will be in my mild climate. For people like us, and other growers in the south, southwest and California where it doesn’t get cold enough to put fig trees in full dormancy, what you can do is simply prune your trees around January 15th. That’s usually the peak of the cold season, so it’ll be the lowest sap flow you can get. That’s what Harvey and Wills do - two of the biggest guys in the fig community. Harvey is in CA and Wills is in FL so neither of them see dormancy, and they just take cuttings mid-Jan. Hope this helps!

I don’t want to risk leaving them in the fridge too long, and our last frost is usually around end of April. Also, should I keep them in small pots in front of a south facing bay window after the roots form, or keep them in a dark cellar until I can move them out to an unheated detached garage? Thanks.

@TheMillennialGardener 4 жыл бұрын
Don't let figs see freezing temps or below for extended periods when in containers. If you let your fig trees sit in 20F for an extended period, they will likely die. You do not want your root ball to freeze. About 40F is where you want to be, but 40-50F should be fine. You may want to try covering them with a blanket to keep them in the dark so they sleep. Don't let your garage fall to 32F or below for an extended period.

Hello , I hear that fabric pots are not true to size meaning that if you get a 20 gallon tall fabric pot it is the same size as a five gallon joint compound bucket ? Which brand of fabric pot would you recomend, and also which ones to choose because they make a 15 gallon tall and a 15 gallon short? I think the fig plants would better like the 15 gal. short pots because I think the roots grow horizontal instead of deep ? What do you think ? Thank you so much ! Mark
@TheMillennialGardener 4 жыл бұрын
mark campolo any nursery pot isn’t true to size. A 5-gallon nursery pot is nowhere near the size of a 5 gallon bucket. It is 3-point-something gallons. A 20 gallon fabric grow bag is much, much larger than a 5 gallon paint bucket, though. I’ll give you my opinion on this. I love fabric pots, but only for annuals. They’re fantastic for tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, herbs (I keep my oregano in a big one), etc. If you want the best brand I’ve found, check out my Amazon Storefront linked in the Video Description under Garden Accessories. The brand is 247 and it is outstanding. However, I hate them for trees. The reason why is lignified roots will grow right through them, and the bags will fall apart. The roots wrap all around them, and when you try to remove the fabric bag because the roots have destroyed it, the bag latches on and you destroy the entire root ball removing it. This happened to me. It was a disaster. Tree roots grow into the bags and ruin them and then you can’t get them off. I will ONLY use hard plastic containers for trees. Fabric grow bags are for annuals because their soft roots won’t damage the bags and when you remove them at the end of the year, it doesn’t matter if you ruin the roots. For anything you eventually want to up-pot, use hard plastic containers. You can’t free plants from the fabric pots. I think the ideal container size for a fig tree is a 10-15 gallon hard plastic nursery pot.

@TheMillennialGardener 3 жыл бұрын
My fig trees outside have been exposed to 25F numerous times, but it warms up quickly once day breaks. Did your garage warm up quickly in the morning? The problem with container plants is it exposes the roots to the air temperatures, so there is a chance your roots will freeze. Normally, the ground keeps the roots warm, so container-grown trees are less hardy than trees kept in-ground. The safest thing to do is to get a little space heater for your garage connected to a thermostatically controlled outlet that will kick on when temps fall to 35F or so so your garage stays above freezing.

MG, first thank you for your excellent videos! All of my 41 first year fig trees are in 5 gal. containers and are now dormant in my zone 6b here in central Utah. My question: do I give any water to the my fig trees at any time during their winter dormancy period? Thank You.
@TheMillennialGardener 4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the compliment. I really appreciate it. The short answer is yes: you will have to give your fig trees some water. If you let them dry out completely, they will die. However, they cannot be damp or the roots may rot. Damp soil + cool temps = rot! Gauging when to water a potted tree is sort of trial and error, like cooking a steak by feel. Just because the top of the container is dry doesn't mean the bottom is. People can have dry tops and saturated roots, so don't simply stick your finger in the soil to test for dryness. The best way to gauge, I've found, is to wait for the soil to start "pulling away" from the sides of the containers. When you see the soil pulling away and there is a visible gap between the rootball and the sides of the containers, that's usually time to water. I would, at that point, give it a 12 or 16 ounce cup of water and spread it evenly over the roots. Slowly pour it over the top of the soil in an O-shape. I hope this helps.

Now is the PERFECT time for you to take cuttings and start them in your climate. If you struggle with figs due to your heat, 30% shade cloth can be your friend. Once the real heat begins, consider protecting your trees with it. Since your humidity is fairly low, shade makes a big difference in cooling.

mark campolo you have rust on the leaves of a rooted cutting? Usually, rust needs high temps and humidity of summer to form since it is a fungal infection. Rust on a fresh cutting in winter sounds strange. If it is indeed rust, look into sulphur powder. I’ll be using it this year because it is preventative for rust and mites. The problem with it is you can’t use anything oil-based though, for months, or the sulphur will react and torch your plants. That means no neem oil, no horticultural oil, no pyrethrin, no nothing with an oil-based cattier all season. Just sulphur and water.

@TheMillennialGardener 4 жыл бұрын
That is a good question. I've never dug up a plant to overwinter it. Chicago Hardy figs are known to survive in-ground to the single digits, so when you start seeing teens at night, you may want to consider digging it up. Try making a little cut into a piece of wood and see if it "bleeds" the white, latex sap. If it doesn't bleed, you can probably dig it up. No bleeding means it is dormant. Of course, if you see temperatures in the single digits coming up, then you cannot wait and have to dig it up before the severe cold hits.

I don`t want to chance it this winter so want to do what I`ve always done ,and have it in a pot . I`ve always put it in my attached garage which is heated and can`t really control the temp because no stat in there , and heater is in there that heats the whole house.

@TheMillennialGardener 4 жыл бұрын
mark campolo that is a tough call. I don’t know if the tree will enjoy full dormancy at 65F. It may leaf out early, and if it leafs out in darkness, the new growth will be spindly and sickly. The safer thing is to place it in front of the window, but that is a really large tree for indoors. Ideally, if you’re storing the tree in the garage, you want it around 40F. That’ll keep it asleep. Temps below freezing may kill it, but too warm and it’ll wake up early. Whatever you do, do not store a container fig below freezing. In-ground trees can tolerate low temps because the ground keeps the roots from freezing. A container tree kept at 32F or below will have its roots freeze. Frozen roots are no good. It could damage or kill the tree.

@TheMillennialGardener 2 жыл бұрын
When fig trees go completely dormant, you actually can store them in a fairly dark area *as long as it stays refrigerator-cold.* A lot of northern growers store their fig containers in their garage, because their garages stay in the 35-45 degree range most of the winter. If that is the case, it will keep them in pretty solid dormancy. The challenge begins in early March when the garages start creeping up into the 50's, because the fig trees will begin to warm up. If they break bud in darkness, they'll develop very sickly, spindly, undesirable growth. At that point, you have to open up your garage door during the daytime when the days are warm enough to bathe them in light, or start dragging them outside during the day and back indoors at night.

Problem is, you can't let it get warm, either, or the trees may wake up. Somewhere around 5C is probably ideal.

Yes, you should be able to keep fig cuttings in the crisper until February, but the older the cuttings get, the less of a chance they'll root (and the longer they may take). I would recommend not taking your cuttings off your trees for as long as possible to keep them fresh and alive on the tree. Do you mean knock the buds off? If so, you don't need to do that. I do not use grow lights. I root my cuttings out of the light - not in darkness or anything, but I don't keep them in direct light until after they root. When they do root, I put them in front of my south-facing patio window and carry them outside when it's over 40 degrees in a wind-protected area. Ideally, your fig cuttings will grow best with temps in the low 70's. Cooler will slow them down. Too much heat and they may grow too quickly, or rot.

These trees are trials. I live in a very humid, wet summer climate on the NC coast. Figs come from the Mediterranean where it does not rain at all in the summer. Rain contacting the skin of figs usually causes splitting, bursting, molding and souring. It is important for me to trial these figs before I plant them in-ground. Out of the 30+ varieties that I trialed, only 6-7 performed well in my wet, humid climate. Long story short, the 5 gallon buckets are temporary and were designed for a single season. If I were keeping them permanently in containers, I would up-pot them into 10-15 gallon nursery containers as a final up-potting.

How old are they? Generally, root pruning trees is something you do when the trees need to be refreshed but you can’t up-pot them into a larger container. Let’s say they’re already in 20 gallon pots and you can’t up-pot them because they’d be too heavy to move, and they’ve been in those containers for several years and the soil is going bad...that’s when you root prune. If you have young trees and you can up-pot them, why root prune? That’ll just set them back.

You want to wait until all leaves naturally fall off the tree. The best way to tell if a fig tree is dormant is to gently and lightly cut the wood somewhere, like a small slash with a knife. If it still bleeds white sap, it isn't dormant yet. A dormant tree won't bleed when you cut it.

@TheMillennialGardener 2 жыл бұрын
I would discourage taking cuttings from figs outside of their dormancy season. 1. You're removing new fruiting wood, which means less figs throughout the season. 2. Taking fig cuttings when sap flow is high stresses the tree and will delay fruiting and ripening. 3. Cuttings taken during the growing season is usually of non-lignified or poorly-lignified wood. You can do it, but it's a generally poor cultural practice unless you have a really good reason to do so, and I would not advocate for this practice to the general public. I generally am not a fan of using a greenhouse to overwinter figs because the daytime temperatures get very high, which can result in a lot of overwinter growth, and many greenhouses provide little to no insulation at night. Keeping figs awake during the winter prevents cold tolerance. If you have a professional high-tunnel setup that stays above freezing all season, you may be okay, but if you have an inexpensive hobbyist greenhouse like you can order off Amazon or from Harbor Freight that provides little to no overnight protection, it can be harmful.

Once cuttings root, you should keep them actively growing until they are ready for transplant, or they naturally go dormant. This is why I typically root my cuttings in the winter - once they root, they will grow along with the spring since they usually root in early spring. I don't recommend rooting figs in the late summer or fall, because if they root, they may be confused trying to grow as the days get shorter and colder. If you root in fall, you may need to give them supplemental light from grow lights and baby them throughout the winter. The "best time" to root fig cuttings is between December and May.
