The neighbors down the street have 2 big fig trees that will grow out sticking out over the sidewalk. 4 winters ago someone broke off some of those small branches and threw them on the ground. I walked by them for 2 weeks before deciding to try growing a tree. Just stuck it in the dirt. Come spring it started to grow and produced 1 fig the size of my little finger=so cute! Now it's 6 ft tall and figs galore! Bonus, The leaves make a delicious tea!

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

That's awesome!!

[@Crayfish-]

The Sap of a fig tree can deaden Toothache pain, but in my experience it has to Be right on the location of the pain. And if it's a Deep toothache such as in the Root of the Tooth ( i.e. an Abscess ) You'll Need something more ! Like a Root Canal. [ And a Silver or Gold Amalgam filling ].

[@SweetChicagoGator]

​@@DaisyCreekFarms Jag, I live in Chicago it's very cold until like June, but I will plant them outside in the backyard. Then as you mentioned take him inside for the rest of the months and water them well, but not in the winter. TFS !

[@Leelongostyle]

Thank you. My Chicago Fig in Connecticut is in the ground in full sun. Adding the fertilizer and extra water should help me grow great figs this season.

I never knew that was a thing. There are a lot of videos on KZbin to make fig leaf tea. Thanks for teaching me something new. 😁

[@tommymckiddy7872]

We have a fig tree/bush in zone 7A and we don't nurture it at all. It's older than I am. It was my grandmother's and it wasn't planted in a good place. We cut it all the way back one time and it's still going strong. We've had temps in the single digits in the winter several years. I'm not a big fan of figs other than the fig preservers my grandmother made. I'm not trying to kill it anymore, just keeping it trimmed. I don't think you can kill it. Good luck to anyone who does like them. I hope they grow as strong for you as my grandmother's has.

[@kp76333]

I'm in Kentucky, where are you?

[@emilybh6255]

I'm rewatching the video to take notes. My fig tree is now going on three years old after its rebirth when it nearly died initially the winter after planting. It is about 6 feet tall. Based on what you say, I haven't been watering it enough during our dry periods. I'm in zone 8a SC and the tree is in a micro climate that has to be at least 8b or 9a facing south and gets sun all day long. It gets sweltering hot here - over 100 degrees F in the summer often and 90s almost daily from May - August. I hope next year it will fruit for the first time. My next door neighbor has a couple fig trees that are probably 15 or 20 years old and he gets TONS of fruit every year. He says he does nothing to care for them except he prunes about 2/3 of the height of the trees off in spring and they regrow and produce abundant fruit during the summer/fall.

[@sandhills2344]

[@musaadfelton3909]

I took six cuttings. Just put them in a cup of water. It all grew roots. I put it in some soil..all 6 cuttings is now growing. Very easy to grow from cutting. But I took the cuttings just before spring. Right before the tree was about to wake up.

[@miriamruth1]

Jag I put my fig tree in a large tub. It was nearly dead at the garden shop so i took it home and with some tlc it produced 3 figs the first season. This season so far 2 fruit. I am so happy just to see a fruit on the tree. Any advice is welcome please. Your videos are amazing and thank you from NZ

[@Crayfish-]

New Zealand is Pretty Close to " the South Pole. " If it were me I would build a Greenhouse around it, and follow the best Advice from my research ! If it hadn't taken off yet I would have put it in a Planter or Wine Barrel and Either brought it in for the Winter, or gone with a Greenhouse with some kind of [ as close to natural ] heating [ as possible ].

I have a 6 year old green fig that I had growing in a pot in the North. It didn’t produce any figs while I was trying to grow it there. I brought it with me moving to SC. South. It took off in my screen room. I took a cutting last yard to make sure I still have a green fig plant. I was able to get cuttings of a black mission fig. It is less than a year old. It was a stick when I received it. Now in a pot, zone 8a-9 I will wait until all the leaves fall off and maybe a couple of figs will ripen in that time! I would love to have you mail out cuttings from your beautiful fig trees. I am trying to get my neighbors to learn about fresh figs

[@loquat44-40]

My three farm dogs pick fruit. But if I did not have dogs there would be no fruit at all due to the local critters They like semi-ripe pears. Now they have discovered that one non-astringent persimmon tree has edible fruit. They have been trying the other astringent persimmons, but not eating them. If I had a lot of ripe figs they would learn to eat them also. I posted this info on nafex and the new moderator that looks a little very young jerk deleted it.

Thank you so much. I just bought a fig tree. I’ll keep it in a pot for now until next spring. I agree 100% on the wood chips. They create a lot of mold in the dirt especially if you live in a wet environment. Compost is a great idea. I don’t know why I never thought of that before.

[@Crayfish-]

" You Never Appreciate the Water until the Well Runs Dry " ! We had a Fig Tree in my Parent's back yard ! It usually produced well ! But one year at the end of the [ fruiting ] season, went by the " Fig Tree " and turned a Leaf aside and saw 2 June Bugs in one Fig, and one in another Fig Next to it ! So I picked either one or both ( this was in about 1984 ) out of that Fig and cupped them in my hand ( June Bugs can't sting you ) . They were ' Strong ' And so I carried them away and let them go elsewhere away from the Tree . They were a Bit of an Amusement !

[@msjulie9592]

I have one of those HUGE fig trees in my back yard that bears so much fruit. It was here when we we bought the house, looks like it's been here a very long time, and it almost reaches the 2nd floor of the house. I get super excited each year when the leaves return and then I spot those green babies all over the tree. I have yet to eat one because the darn squirrels get every single one of them before they get ripe. I'm not even sure which kind of fig tree it is because of the squirrels. 😒

About December, I noticed a small fig starting to grow. It grew to about 3/4" and eventually died off. I am hoping that this year to see more figs.

My sister in Fallbrook gave me a 12" tall Chicago Hardy she grew from a cutting and I brought it back to zone 5b Iowa. It has grown to five feet and has figs! I'm afraid they might not ripen before I have to bring the pot inside but it will have a sunny south window. 🤞

[@billearnshaw1074]

Great data, we are at about 4,500, have 4 figs now, out of about 25 trees. Trees are all planted in plastic 55 gallon drums to keep them warmer in the winter, and keeps the squirrels off of the trees plus protects the bark from the sun in the summer. And have to put an electric fence around the perimeter to keep the deer off of them. Keep researching edible plants, now looking into the cranberry hibiscus.... Yes have Moringa and other odd trees that like the desert such as the Jujube... What fun.

Min 8:12 Discusses how much water to give your figs. This is important. I was underwatering my fig trees and they were growing too slowly and not producing much.

[@gameenders5017]

I have a black mission I bought, and another I created from a cutting off the same plant. They're now about 2.5 years old and they've never produced any fruit. The stems are maybe 4-5 feet, each has about 4. This year I put them in the ground, mulched heavy with compost then shredded leaves. I did a 444 organic fertilizer around them. It's crazy to me they don't fruit. I am in northern GA in zone 7 and we get a few frosts, so they basically regrow each year as so far while they are young the frost kills the stems. Is there hope for them fruiting next year, on year 3? Do you think this is one of those organic tissue that will never fruit? Are black Madera a type that only fruits on second year branches? I have an Omega that does fruit well even though it is year 1, it is in similar growing conditions to the madera.

Do you get water sprouts growing from the branches of figs? With other fruit trees evidently it is best to encourage branches to grow parallel to the ground which stops water sprouts from growing and increases fruit production. Is this the same with figs?

I’m in Texas zone 8b. I have a Celeste that has given very small light colored figs. Mostly something eats them before I can. Next I have an LSU purple that has given tiny fruits . Same thing with something eating then. They are both about four years old. I have a brown Turkey that gives nice fruit but it only ripens maybe three every few days. Also something gets them. I tried bags last year and something ran off with the bags or just chewed them up under the tree. I let them all grow without pruning. First two come back fine after winter but the brown Turkey dies to the ground every year. I have multiple trunks more than 8 on each. I love the tree form that you have. Not sure how to get that?

Fig trees like a slightly acidic soil, 6 - 6.5. It can take 3 - 5 years or more before you get figs or longer.

I'm in 7b and had a dozen Chicago Hardy in grow bags. I stored them in my garage to over winter and it was warm enough to keep them alive. After two years I planted them out and they've been producing fine, will start to water more based on Jag's recommendation.

[@michaelgusovsky]

do some reading on overwintering figs, there's info out there. but, basically, the idea is, once the temps get below 40, your figs will lose all their leaves and go dormant for the winter. once that happens, try to move them somewhere where the temp will stay fairly stable in the 32-40 range, like an unheated garage. if the temps get to 20 or below, it will kill or damage them. then in the spring once the danger of frost has passed, you can bring them out. as they grow older, they will be more able to handle the cold. if you have them in-ground, you can overwinter by wrapping them, some people pile leaves around them, or bubble wrap, then wrap them in burlap. some people will put a string of christmas lights on them to generate a small amount of heat. if you bring them inside during winter, they won't go dormant, but they will get weak and scraggly if they're not somewhere bright like a sunroom, or you can put a grow light on them to assist.

[@dinakaraprasad]

Hi, Nice information. I have a little to say/share. This may not be applicable to the region you are growing fig trees, however, this might tickle your curiosity. A fig cutting from Spring season is already growing tiny figs here in South India. A comparative zone would be 13b and above (15 degree Celsius in Winter to 39 degree Celsius in Summer). Also, it is believed that figs grow only on new stems, so the farmer prunes it twice in a year and manages to get two crops. Most importantly, the Winter pruning for a Summer crop, is done by pruning the tips of the branches. The pruned branches grow new stems on which figs grow at every leaf node. These are sweeter. Next, the farmer prunes (before monsoon rains) the plant down to 1 or 1.5 feet from the ground! You just have a stump now. The plant produces 4-5 new stems, which grows figs at each leaf node. This is Winter crop and not as sweet. Next pruning is again at the tips only to get a Summer crop and so on. The idea is to produce more new stems, harvest more sunlight and grow more figs. In your region, due to frost challenges, you might be growing them as trees with umbrella canopies. Maybe, you can consider to prune the tips after harvest and get more figs from the new stems that will now grow!? Just wondering.. 🤔

I live is Georgetown SC. If we dig a hole where I live you dig a bucket and the hole fills with water and the tree dies. So you have to plant your Fig Tree in a mound and the roots will grow into the grown from the mound. I have two Fig Trees a LSU Gold Fig and a Celeste these trees grow great here it very hot an humid here. ....

NC Piedmont area and we have a Celest that is over 100 years old that is huge. My favorite fig. My grandmother had a Brown Turkey, it was good but very big but not as good a flavor as the Celest.

Easiest plant to propagate although I have taken cuttings in Fall after leaf drop (in 7b). After I had a dozen or so 12" branches I wrapped them in damp news paper, placed the bundle in a plastic bag, and into the fridge for the winter. Took them out in Spring and planted each into a mix similar to Jag's (with perlite instead of coconut coir) and they took off.

I tried everything mentioned in your videos, but covering my figs in plastic they molded after 24-hours. I’m in zone 8b. Please 🙏 help? I have many varieties of figs with potential cuttings.

Ur climate is too humid, use breathable cover like a fabric weed barrier

[@shake_shells11]

Depends on the variety, if ur temperature is above 30, the cold hardy fig trees don’t need to be covered

[@RanchExplorerHQ]

@@shake_shells11 yes it is humid here

[@RanchExplorerHQ]

@@shake_shells11 Thank you, I may try to bury my cuttings inside a container inside my garage… just a cool and dry area.

I stuck mine in a temporary greenhouse or just in the ground. Same zone. All the greenhouse cuttings made it and most of the others as well.
