Fig Hunters - How to achieve the PERFECT FIG

[@charleswilder2985]

Please show the process of getting the pollen from the caprifig and preparing the pollen water.

[@lamontefarms]

That and how/when to pick profichi will be early next season.

[@TheFigHunter]

That’s the next video Charles my friend

[@theapprenticesurvivalguide]

Was there an update video on caprifig?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Really cool!

[@TheFigHunter]

Cant wait to see your results

[@neurocognitive]

Thanks for the video. It was very helpful; however, the middle step is missing. You talk about the tools required, and verbally talk about what comes next, but then you skip to showing how to inject the fig. It would have been nice to see you actually process the caprifig and create the liquid mixed with pollen that goes into the syringe, so we could see the entire process. Thanks

[@TheFigHunter]

We will be doing a more intensive video including the how the figs from seeds are growing

[@neurocognitive]

@@TheFigHunter That would be great! I'm subscribed, so I'll get the announcement when it comes out. Thanks again

[@pdiscool]

@@TheFigHunter yes more in-deph video would be great! Does he mix sugar in the water with the pollen?

[@lamontefarms]

Thank you for being honest. I felt I left a few things out as well.

[@lamontefarms]

@@pdiscool I have found no difference in adding the sugar. So I stopped adding it to simplify things.

[@briancrispano828]

I plan to do this next year! I’m going to grab a Capri fig from you and a few others and do some experiments breeding some of my favorites varieties!

[@TheFigHunter]

Brian can’t wait for you to share your perfect figs. Let us know how we can help

[@TheFigHunter]

We have Capri figs available now for about another week

[@Paula_T]

I'm SO gonna do this next year!😋 How mature do the recipient figs need to be?

[@lamontefarms]

The pollination window is pretty wide. I have pollinated figs right under dime size to figs over a quarter size. Depending on if it is a large or small variety of fig.

[@TheFigHunter]

Quarter size about but it depends on the fig some are smaller then others

[@TheFigHunter]

@@lamontefarms lol I just saw you replied

[@cchat3491]

Does that extra bleed hole made thru the side of the fig cause any noticeable problems?

[@TheFigHunter]

It heals quickly

[@vtec18c]

id also like to know where i can get the capri fig

[@TheFigHunter]

Www.thefighunter.shop We offer capri figs and capri fig starts

[@vtec18c]

@@TheFigHunter I have some cuttings already ordered. Is therea away where I can add to my order a Capri cutting.

[@TheFigHunter]

@@vtec18c you can contact us thru www.thefighunter.shop

[@vtec18c]

does it matter what kind of capri fig tree is used?

[@TheFigHunter]

No, it doesn’t matter

[@t.s.7601]

Does it need to be a Capri fig?

[@TheFigHunter]

Capri figs produce the pollen

[@lamontefarms]

It needs to be the Profichi crop from a Caprifig. Female figs produce no pollen.

[@succulentqueen7737]

I'm so confused.

[@TheFigHunter]

How can we help

[@bayoudreams395]

Where can I find info on importing fig wasps to my area? I read that they only travel a few hundred feet so likely I don't have any local enough to me in GA. After the Holidays I'll call my extension office to see if it's legal and/or if they have info on this. Thanks

[@TheFigHunter]

Happy New year Bayoudreams With the Lamonte method you can easily hand pollinate and just need a Capri fig.
