Spring 2024, PART 3!!!! Late

Growing #fig trees in a short season, northern climate presents a few challenges. These are the trees I’ll be selecting my final late trees from.

Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience and information. I'm looking forward to seeing your trees with figs soon.

Thanks for watching!

Good to see some of your experimentation! Yes, many of mine are getting a week or two head start for in-ground trees. My medium tunnel greenhouse was divided for adding a bit of heat through the arctic blast, as an experiment with cold hardy citrus. But, the heat leakage out into the fig portion woke the figs up early, with ten inches of new growth now. I'll need careful protection from any frost, or drop the breba. It will be interesting how the big jump turns out once I take them all outside after the frost danger is past. More mistakes will be made, but perhaps some learning too. I'm west of Eugene in the coast range.

Good to hear from you Ray. Your head start will be a huge benefit

Your collection looks great. Im up here in Boring/Sandy area. Just starting my fig journey. If you want sell any plants that you don't want? I will gladly take them off your hands. Plus if you are interested in selling cuttings this winter too? Would love to get as much variety as possible. Thanks, good luck this season.
