Better, much improvement. Keep on keeping on!

[@Loftinart]

That's the plan! Thanks for watching!

I agree. I’m adding to my 3 in ground trees. 16 varieties in pots suck.

My Brown Turkey tree was just a few tiny branches and it`s growing so fast this year in Louisiana. It`s already a giant circular bush three feet tall and 8 feet wide. I trimmed it too for cuttings. I got four Celeste this year as well. Hopefully I`ll get some figs but no sign of them so far.

My in ground exquisito planted 2 yrs ago ripened around 6 brebas and several main crops last year here in Seattle.

Good info. Hopefully it works for me.

Sorry to see so much cold damage. I had a lot better luck down the hill from you in Salem. The LSU Gold I got from you a few years ago was one of the only two that had any significant damage.

[@Loftinart]

I’ve wondered how you’ve been doing with that tree. Hopefully not too much damage that it’ll suffer too bad this year. I just pulled my in ground Vincenzo out today. I think it’ll recover but I’m going to do a video on it soon.

Hello Erik. Seems like you get a lot colder them up here in Portland. I had very minimal tip die back.

[@Loftinart]

Urban heat is real. Makes a big difference

[@dukeone224]

I'm in Eugene, what city are you in?

[@Loftinart]

Mid Willamette Valley

[@bosquebear1]

What zone are you in?

[@Loftinart]

8b but it’s Oregon. Not all zones are created equal. We have rain and wind chill that other zone 8s don’t.

How did you bring the CA seedling up? I got some cuttings from a couple trees planted by the birds on my fiance's grandpa's property near Fresno, and I'm curious to see how they do here in Portland.

[@Loftinart]

Either people living in CA or sourced from trees I found myself driving back up a couple years ago.

Hi, did I missed the thumbnail part of the video?

[@Loftinart]

It’s a pic of a rooted cutting from this year

[@MrWookie21]

@@Loftinart Did you make a video about it?

[@Loftinart]

@@MrWookie21 no. It was just rooted this year.
