Your camera girl is funny. Nice fig.

You guys got the fig wasp in Texas? Nice! Can't wait to see the Peter's Honey! 👍

Must of the time you should squeeze it a little before plucking it out ,it’s not like a mango easily to tell by the color! Thanks for sharing amigo!

Awesome video 😊, just planted my Italian 258 in ground in spring waiting for the fruit!

Magnolia Texas, glad you guys are ok. We took a direct hit, but y'all were on the dirty side. I brought my figs in! I can smell that 258 from here!

Hey John, I want to turn you on to a good channel to watch. It's called Basement Figs. Binge on his videos, he takes it to a scientific level and I know you will enjoy it! Tell him in the comments, Scott from Magnolia, Texas sent you his direction. Adios brother

Yes, show the leaves. By the way, your Negra D'Agde was not ripe. Mine grow amazing in Florida 9B. They love coastal areas.

great video thanks for sharing, that is not Olympian that looks like Mountain Etna Type figs (type of hardy chicago) they are producer tho and they come early ripening

I'm wanting to graft all of my LSU cultivars onto one LSU champagne rootstock to have one bush.

The trade-off is that the tree roots give off exudates which feed the mycorrhizae and create the desired pH level, in turn, the mycorrhizae bring nutrients to the tree.

I would like to get a cutting of Peter's honey and Figo Prego. I have some nice tradable cultivars. No hurry.

The skill to do, comes in the doing.

I go all natural, organic, clean, no pesticide, no herbicide, I am a steward of the creators Earth.

Do you leave your buckets of figs out during the winter?

What are your thoughts about drain holes on your square buckets?

I am seeing that you are keeping some of your trees near the house, is this intentional to provide afternoon shade?

Glad I found you bro. I'm over here in Magnolia Texas. You don't sound high strung. You sound based and balanced. I'm collecting also. Let me know if you want a list of what I've got.

I kind of agree that it may not be an Olympian. Regardless it looks great and you like it That’s all that matters.

Can I use horse manuer my area is so cheap?

I am new to figs, got 2 for father's day. It's been hot and dry and I didn't water enough and a few leaves dried up and got crunchy so I cut them off.

I dont think thats an olympian fig. The pulp should be dark orange, the frug is pretty big and taste like peaches, the skin doesnt get dark like that typicly only on one side it gets dark. The fig is brownish orange when fully ripe. Might be wrong. English Brown turkey types have some variations

Olympian is an english brown turkey type, the brown turkey ur refering to is it more likely to be a californian one? Thick skin with a very hollow center? And doesnt taste more than sugary and melon?

Nice collection!

nice trees

Keep ‘em coming, buddy!

Where are you moving to? If you said, I missed it.

Where did you purchase it?

If you had 100mph winds, you could have some root and trunk damage that you can't see. Will take time for them to heal. They will drop leaves when there aren't enough roots to support them.

The figs look great, mate. I live in Pennsylvania zone 6. I also grow in containers. I have 24 varieties of figs, along with a ton of different fruits and vegetables. Living here with the cold winters, I pile all my fig containers up in my shed, and I have a heater that automatically kicks on at 21 degrees. All my figs do amazing like that. It is a pain moving them each year but so worth the effort. I love spending time each day in the summer, just looking at and tending to my plants. Happy growing mate! Thank you for your content.

sprays like a soap-and-water mixture, neem oil, or essential oils will stop aphids under leaves and biting chewing bugs that spread fmd

When figs get low on water the new growth goes limp. Sometimes I get leaves like you have and I ignore it. When I use kelp meal or Dr Earths 2-2-2 pure gold it doesn’t happen.

Eat the leaves, they taste like coconut

Your figs ripen early. You don't have to show the leaves.

Figs do drop their leaves pretty easily. I have to water daily on 5 gallon buckets with figs during the summer. Last week it got pretty hot. Lift up the buckets. If they are very light, they need water. Still heavy you can go another day. Much more accurate doing this than getting a moisture meter. Water is heavy, and I use this method all the time with plastic buckets.

I graft I 258 many times and all failed Wishing you be successful

Are there what looks like burn holes in the middle of the leaves? It looks like over watering or fig rust. Get a moisture meter.

Where is "here"? God's country? Great growing!

I would add perlite or a 50/50 mix of perlite and vermiculite to this for aeration and drainage. About 24 oz per 5 gallons.

Keep posting brother. I enjoy the updates. Hope your leaves get sorted out.

It would help more looking at the new growth of the plants and some of the old growth not saying this is your problem but I did notice your new growth was pretty light perhaps a little more mag or nitrogen would help or both

Nice I’m new to figs I successfully rooted about 50 varieties been transplanting into 5 gallons and 15 gallons and have been going with the single stem approach that Ross talks about and then pinching at the top when they get older i hope i will be satisfied with this method down the line 👍🇺🇸

nice collection cant wait to see the fruit

Your figs tree are so healthy, the is very small for them, they plant in the ground.❤❤❤
