Great info. On figs. Thank you

[@FlomatonFamous]

Thank you, thanks for watching

[@theresasuttle711]

So many figs! Looks great!

[@FlomatonFamous]

Thank you!

[@barryjanis]

I just LOVE FIGS ! I've got 30+ varieties. I planted 185 trees in ground ,this spring. GET YOU SOME !

[@FlomatonFamous]

That’s awesome! Where are you located? Mine are starting to turn ripe now

[@barryjanis]

@@FlomatonFamous I am about 20 miles NW of Baton Rouge. And 100 miles north of Cajun B. Have been to see him twice. Got 18 Great cuttings from him last spring. So I am over 50 varieties so far. I enjoy your videos, Thanks.

[@jackturner4917]

Loved the tour and great collection. Please do another one or two during harvest time. I had only one fig tree a couple of years ago. I then started watching channels like Ross, Millenial Gardener, Harvey and more. I lost my mind and now have a very nice collection including Bass’ Favorite, Moro de Caneva, Figoin, Black Madeira, Barada, Del Sen Jaume Gran, Col de Dame Noir, I-258, Paratjal Rimada, Bourjasotte Grise and a few more. I am totally over pots and next year I am putting everything in the ground. I live in zone 8a in North Texas and not many people grow in ground here but I’m taking the gamble. They don’t belong in pots.

[@FlomatonFamous]

Absolutely I’ll post updates, I also enjoy those channels. You should be able to grow in ground no problem. I’m also zone 8b here average low each year is about 18. Thank you for watching and supporting

@@FlomatonFamous I live on the southern tip of the plains and the winters are definitely getting hotter but it is so unpredictable. We are just as likely to have a 70 degree day as we are a 9 degree day.

[@jedd.5407]

Yep! You got the "itch!"

[@FlomatonFamous]

@@jedd.5407 Yep, I've had a lot going on in my life in the past couple of years, time to focus back on the fig collection.

[@joancarnley575]

Looked up "fig pop". And "fig collectors". Interesting! Had a laugh about the cat 🐈photo bomb.

[@FlomatonFamous]

Be careful, if you ever eat a top ranked fig you will become a collector, big big difference when compared to a brown turkey, Mechelle won't eat brown turkey but loves the other figs.

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

Love your channel! Thank you so much for all your wonderful helpful tips and great attitude! God bless and grant you a bountiful season!! Can't wait to one day get some figs to grow! 🙏💯🌼🌱❣️🌼😃👍🌼❣️💐🍊🍐🍍🍌🍋🍈

[@FlomatonFamous]

Thank you very much and welcome to the channel, we are glad to have you. God bless you as well! Love figs lol.

[@Johnnysaintrizz]

I’m in auburn, I didn’t know I had to worry about frost killing my figs. This is my first year growing.

[@FlomatonFamous]

Hard winter freeze will kill them and a late freeze will also

[@Johnnysaintrizz]

@@FlomatonFamous I’m new to fig growing and I’d like to get some different varieties- do you sell cuttings? I’m in auburn, Al…a very nice gentleman gave me some free cuttings of two known varieties…the gardening ppl are so generous.

[@FlomatonFamous]

@@Johnnysaintrizz I don’t sell cuttings yet, I will in the future, checkout figbid.com and ourfigs.com

[@marycampbell4160]

Looking awesome!! Thanks for sharing

[@FlomatonFamous]

Thank you, hope y'all are doing good!

[@WildPlumHomesteadMama]

I definitely need to expand my fig knowledge. I rescued two last year from a slow discount rack death at Lowe's. I have no clue what they are 🤣

[@FlomatonFamous]

Late year I bought a Violet de Bordeaux and an Olympian there last year. You can also check out the forum. Www.ourfigs.com and figbid.com

[@ZonaFigs]

Do your brown turkey figs have a little pink eye on them because I was given one, and I'm not sure that's what it is? Thanks, great fig collection!!! Very impressive I love it

[@FlomatonFamous]

Thank you, right before it turns ripe, yes the eye will be pink

[@MrEunderwood]

You ever know a man by the name Crockett from Flomaton? He used to run Diamond Boo's jewelry store up there long time ago.

[@FlomatonFamous]

I don't know anyone by that name.

[@brianrodrigue6821]

Looking good my friend……if you need more cuttings,let me know.

[@FlomatonFamous]

I’m going to take you up on that offer, If you are available late July, we’d like to come for a visit. I would like to buy a few more trees from you.

[@brianrodrigue6821]

@@FlomatonFamous sounds like a plan,looking forward to seeing you all again

[@MrEunderwood]

​@@brianrodrigue6821 are you planning another gathering anytime this season? I live in Louisiana and would love to come tour your orchard! I'm Fig-E-Fresh on the forum. Just got bit by the fig bug a couple years back and now I'm hooked

[@patricklee8360]

Peter Honey is really good and a great producer

[@FlomatonFamous]

Would you compare it to LSU Gold? Is it better than gold?

[@caveman7608]

I almost bought a peters honey but saw a video where it didn’t do good. Saw a video from California and didn’t have an issue. It’s a shame cause I at least want one honey fig. I have been undecided for a while between LSU Champagne, peters honey, LSU hollier

[@FlomatonFamous]

@@caveman7608 Also consider the LSU Gold, I think it's a top honey fig also.

[@MrEunderwood]

I just got Hollier, LSU GOLD and Kadota to trial. Kadota is supposed to be almost the same as Peter's honey so hopefully I'll be able to make a decision later on this year about which one to put in ground

[@epigeneticnerd4244]

How many hours of sunlight do you think a fig tree needs minimum to ripen figs?

[@FlomatonFamous]

I’d say 8, you might get a mediocre crop with 6

[@Romans6.1-2]

May I ask, how far apart did you plant your figs?

[@FlomatonFamous]

About 8 ft spacing

[@SouthernGardensHomestead]

Warning fig addiction is a really serious problem, lol. I currently have 60 plants myself. As a matter of fact, you have 2 or 3 varieties I would be willing to trade with you on, this winter. I know I have one that that you would really be interested in, I have an extra potted LSU Strawberry (from Cajun B), to trade. As well as cuttings of a few other LSU & CdD Varieties. I’m SouthernGardens on the fig forum and FigBid. East of you in Dothan Alabama.

[@FlomatonFamous]

I’m thinking of putting together a fig meeting and cutting swap this fall after trees go dormant. Maybe we can do a few trades. I’m up in Chattanooga right now for the fig frolic tomorrow
