Fig Tree Pruning And Propagation Tricks You Can't Afford To Miss!

[@ThePattiable]

Thank you! I just bought tools to prune my brown Turkey fig for the first time & had wanted to make cuttings. This was perfectly timed and so easy to follow. I appreciate it!

[@helio2k]

I just got a brown turkey for christmas. How do you like the fruit?

[@ThePattiable]

@@helio2k Congrats! This was my 1st year getting a little harvest & I enjoyed them. They were a little sweeter than I thought they'd be! Enjoy your tree

[@gtrgenie]

I did this last year from your propagation with sand video. I can’t believe the cutting has fruit already!

[@harunalakadarnyachanel5795]

Tanks you for sharing brother 👍 hello I'm from Indonesia i'm Harun alakadarnya Chanel suport you 👍

[@butterflyj685]

This is one of the best fig videos I've seen!

[@jeremiahyeo5863]

Great info. Thank you very much. I find that when using play sand even fresh out of the bag you probably don’t need to use a screen or anything or worry about it pouring out the bottom of tub or a planter pot like an hourglass… In my experience, moist sand Doesn’t pour… It just clumps together and doesn’t go anywhere. Alternatively if you don’t put a screen in the bottom of that container, and then you lifted the container up and noticed that it started pouring at the bottom like an hourglass… That would definitely be a very clear indicator that you don’t have enough moisture in there. I hope that’s helpful tip

[@laurenv.9521]

Thank you! I got a Little Miss Figgy baby tree for Christmas, and I'm doing my research about how to care for it.

[@crazedfamilygardens]

Oh they're adorable!

[@tpaw6908]

Thank you love it. HAPPY NEW YEAR GOD'S BLESSINGS.

[@chrissforza6405]

Yours is the best tutorial on trimming fig trees I have ever seen. I have a potted fig named Cineraria that I purchased two years ago. I get about a dozen luscious small fruit every year but was afraid to plant it, because I know figs trees can get very large, until I saw your video on pruning so come spring I will be planting my little fig tree. Thank you for giving me the nudge I needed. YOU are a great teacher!

[@locuyennguyen2538]

Thank you for this very clear and easy to follow video. I can’t wait to propagate my cuttings this year.

[@auntieg9431]

Brilliant, thank you. I have been looking for this video for years for my front garden (very small I live in the UK) - this is perfect. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience.

[@meimeiwong7246]

What a brilliant idea using sand for propagation.

[@Melanieallen968]

Great timing! I just potted up 3fig trees Ive had stored with a friend for a year..Wax sealing! Wow! Thankyou!Best advice I have ever had4 fig cuttings...It only took 3months for roots to appear in Australia...Im going to try it in sand.😁

[@snobird33]

Thanks for rolling pruning and propagation in one easy to follow video.

[@RonnieMinh]

Thanks for the great presentation and information!

[@kcbknitter]

thanks for this video, it's been perfect timing for me.

[@gretahelphrey7842]

Nice presentation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@bestcrossroad]

Wow! You have a lot of great teachings! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God bless you.🪴

[@rockreader4298]

Thank You, Dan. I have one lonely (Black Mission) fig tree. Now I can give it some company.

[@mermaidswhimsy8601]

Great advice. I am a first time home gardener and this will help tremendously. I picked up a fig cutting from the store, now when it grows into a tree I have a clue what to do to get another tree.

[@brownthumbnursery]

Great video! I did cuttings of figs yesterday too.

[@plantabundance]

Cool!!

[@djchancla2451]

I’ve taken a lot of your advice with success

[@organicgardenmamavictoriab2768]

Wow this is so interesting I didn't know you could do that !

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Gonna have to prune mine this winter, I’m in the U.K

[@jorisvandeleur6442]

Thank you very much for this great information. I only just found your channel and impressed with all the information. I was wondering what the temperature range should be for rooting the cuttings. I guess always above freezing but would inside the house be to warm? Thank you very much.

[@lindamurray1406]

Enjoying your Chanel. Very helpful. Where are you? I’m on bc coast

[@tedburke1303]

Would love to buy some of your cuttings if you think they would do well in the heat of Arizona

[@RLCinGA]

Thank you for this helpful video!

[@RLCinGA]

The video gave me confidence to take cuttings from my figs, pears and blueberries.

[@raywhitehead730]

In Riverside, California my fig trees are just about finished dropping their leaves --its, mid December. And it does not freeze here.

[@davidbutton8497]

Nice work buddy. 🎩⚡️🎩

[@Daniela1982ish]

Great looking tree, are you selling cuttings?

[@amygarner1812]

Genius! Thank you!! happy New Year :-)

[@plantabundance]

Just a guy with a fig tree, a camera and a dream! : ) Happy New Year!

[@tclodfelter8789]

Great information! Thank You!!

[@cyndihua8315]

Thanks for your awesome tips. Do you sell any of your cuttings?

[@farmyourbackyard2023]

I’ll be your friend! 😉 i’d love to get cuttings like that in the mail. I’ve been taking cuttings of two varieties of elderberry for the last year with some propagation success, but I’m going to try your sand pan method. Do you have holes in the bottom of your sand pan? Ah. Watched a little further and see that you do. When do you set them outside the greenhouse?

[@ThienNguyen-eg4dh]

I have been watching your youtube channel. I bought some fig cuttings on Etsy and planted them in pots with a plastic bag over them to prevent drying out. It has been 100 degree in Houston. In 4-5 days, there are a lot roots above the dirt level but NO roots below the dirt level. Please help!

[@Spirits_And_Swords]

Can you please do a video on how to check the proper moist of the sand and how often do you water it?

[@dn744]

Free plants, yet so many throw the tips.

[@RLCinGA]

Thank you for sharing this tip! Does this work with other fruit trees as well?

[@plantabundance]

Many types of fruit trees have been grafted onto a specific root stock that helps prevent disease, controls height etc. In many situations "grafting" is the more appropriate technique. You can purchase root stocks for a rather low cost to graft onto. It's also possible to graft multiple varieties onto one tree in the same family. All the best!

[@tclodfelter8789]

I like the wax trick!!

[@racebiketuner]

Do you have any recommendations for temperature and light using this method?

[@thebarcadas7850]

What are your thoughts on paraflim to cover the cutting?

[@007Lehua]

Amazing video!! I live in California as well, in a city that gets a lot of wind. Needless to say, I have a black mission fig tree that my led trunk/branch broke and I have thick side branches. It looks absolutely ugly, but the tree produces a lot of fruit that taste great. After propagating and establishing a robust root system, how long does it generally take to fruit? Give or take the weather. Thanks again!

[@raywhitehead730]

About your question on when will a fig tree Will produce fruit. I live in California.... Riverside. I got a few figs of good quality the first year from a 9 inch cutting. Tree is about 2.5 feet tall in one whole year. In 3 years my tree grew to 6.5 feet tall. I got very good ,big figs in quantity in 3 years. Got enough to make ten jars of jelly.

[@sh585175]

Great information and instructions. Are you selling any?

[@plantabundance]

Thank you! Unfortunately, I am not offering fig cuttings at this time. Thanks for your interest. Cheers!

[@jasonvickery7768]

Dan this is such a great video with so many important tips I didn’t know before. One question though is there some reason why it would be best to avoid scented wax? I happen to have a lifetime supply of scented candles!

[@tesha199]

What's the harm in trying?

[@user-ic2ug8ys1z]

Dan I have my cuttings under lights and heat mat. They are developing small leaves. Is that an issue or am I on the right track?

[@aperson1181]

Do you use rooting hormone or not necessary?

[@tampadw4l401]

You could send one to me. I ordered from you before having a terrible time getting kale/ collards to root

[@carolparrish194]

I have a fig tree 4 yrs old that the fruit never ripens. The cold always get it.. If I graft a branch of a early fig ripening tree to it will I get ripened fruit from that grafted branch? What is your advice?I thought of cutting the tree down but I have invested 4 years into it.

[@tclodfelter8789]

I was just looking at our fig trees. Both planted the same time...20+ feet apart... one took off and has produced the last 3 years. The other one remains stunted!? I'll probably try to take a cutting from the larger on and replace the smaller one!??

[@tracybruring7560]

perfect timing. at what age do you up pot?

[@plantabundance]

8 months.

[@NoDigGardenChannel-bj2kt]

Would you be interested in trading some of those cuttings for my Greek heirloom strawberry crunch?

[@californianorma876]

Best advice. (darn just lost my comment) You say you keep the harvest within arm's reach but then the tree is pruned to arm's length--so it will grow out of reach? Do you use a step stool then, or what did I miss. Thank you!!! Great tips! (yes, pun intended) 🙂

[@plantabundance]

Thank you! The limbs of the fig tree actually bend down rather easily. If there's a nice fig slightly out of reach that is my tactic. Sometimes my wife Alice will climb in the tree or use a ladder : ) Cheers!

[@bonniesgarden7869]

Where do you get your washed sand?

[@stephaniebroussard9508]

This may have been asked already but what do you mean by saying that has been washed? Meaning how do you wash saying do you use something chemically to wash it?

[@plantabundance]

The bags of sand available for purchase will specify on the label if the sand has been washed/rinsed free of any salts. Water is all that is needed to wash the sand. Cheers!

[@bestcrossroad]

BTW, would you sell some of your cuttings? I would buy. I have one fig tree which produces good fruits, but would like to add some other varieties. Please let me know. Cheers!

[@andyanderson265]

How do I get a fig cutting from you? Do you have an online store?

[@rayintoledocebuphilippines5517]

so my figs never drop leaves because I'm in the Philippines. When is a good time to prune them??

[@edsutton276]

what zone are you in ?

[@aliciacasas28]

Do you sell cuttings from this fig?

[@plantabundance]

No. But thank you for your interest. Cheers!

[@catherinecornelius120]

What is your planting zone?

[@jamescondron8266]

Would it be reasonable to just use paradigm?

[@HDHD-yv9np]

Do not cut branches from all the way down, leave about an inch and cut, that will prevent deformation of the main branch in the future and protect it from getting diseases

[@EmsViernes]

A teacher has remnded us...d area for actv growrh....s near...where..d green n brown....meets

[@Spirits_And_Swords]

How often do you water the sand, and can you over water it? This is the first time that I'm trying to root a cutting and I use 50% purlite and 50% vermiculite. Will that work? Thank you.

[@Toni85034]

Not sure if play sand has been washed? Do I wash the sand or does it already come washed from the bag of sand?

[@plantabundance]

It will specify on the bag.

[@HeatherNaturaly]

People try to tell me that figs are almost unkillable.. Well.. not for me. I've had 4 now and not one of them has survived it's first Winter. Each one I bought cost me between 20- and 45$. *cries . Figs are one of my favorite fruits, and I can not grow them.

[@candisfirchau3810]

What state and zone are you in? What about nematodes on sanx+

[@judithfarmer1379]

Whoopdy do you spent over half tj e video on propigation. I want how, how to prune, so you just go at it as if just an afterthought. Crap

[@plantabundance]

Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
