Ross, this is a banger video. It is reminiscent of when I started watching your channel 3 years ago when getting into figs. Great for newcomers, and straight to the point. Thanks for sharing!

My Angelito went absolutely crazy outside. First year tree from a cutting and has over 50 figs on it. Main branch is about 4' and 5 scaffolds about 3' each. It's incredible...

I grow fig in pots in Bangkok.Two of them grow very fast but never produce any fruits😢😢. However my figs in small pots produce more. Thanks for sharing your experience ❤❤❤❤❤.

@@kimcasa8191 you have to prune heavily, almost the 90% of the year growth...the rule says that fig "produce wood or fruit" and ones goes against another... that's why your trees in pots produce more, becouse they don't have the chance to grow big branches or a big tree, so they produce fruit

I have a lovely Violette de Bordeaux growing in a 20 gallon pot. I live in Zone 6b in eastern Washington so will be putting it in the garage this winter. I plan to leave it out until we see temps regularly in the 20’s and then thinning prune it and put it in the garage. Question: how do I know when to give my plant water during its winter hibernation? I don’t want to wake it up too early.

Hi Ross. Great information. I have to rethink the ones I am growing without success. Take care

Great video do you give away cuttings at the end of the growing season I would love to grow them in zone 9a high desert southern California

Every year I sell 1500 cuttings in November. Each are a foot in length: www.figboss.com/category/fig-cuttings - If there are any leftover I do a giveaway in January.

When's the in ground main crop fig tasting video coming Ross? Perfect hot and dry weather right now.
@RossRaddiАй бұрын
I don't think I'll do one. I've got tasting videos coming as shorts on KZbin, IG & FB. Longer ones on IG and FB.

Great info, thankyou Unfortunately I live in the northern part of Patagonia, in Chile...very humid, and rainy...one of the Bordeaux kinds would be nice but I haven't found yet. I'm experimenting all I find, so when they grow up I'll graft them all with the best performance variety ...bearly nobody grows figs in this area, even when north a central Chile produces a lot of high quality figs

Ficus sycamorus is the best rootstock for florida which is also hot , humid and rainy, but it's hard to find plant so definitely grow it out and use cuttings as rootstock

Where do we buy to expand our selection? I've been browsing locally, can't find anything other than Chicago. I scooped up Brown Turkey and dying Desert King from Home Depot parking lot two years ago. Do you offer cuttings, is FigBid decent?
@RossRaddiАй бұрын
I sell cuttings every November. Figbid is great. I sold cuttings and plants there for years. Just be careful about who you buy from. Don't buy anything unless the seller has photos of the variety they're selling.

Any favorite green skinned figs for in ground in the Philly area? I've been bagging my Chicago Hardy when they start to change color as either mockingbirds or robins have been pecking them at that time. It works well enough, but if I planted a tree further from my house I get the feeling the birds would be even more relentless.

Green Michurinska. Probably the best fig of 2024.

Birds love it though.

Can you do a video on how to root pruning? I am not sure what that is. Can you also tell me what is the difference between a mission fig and turkey fig. I have two trees and I think one is mis marked. How to get figs to dry out without molding.

Already have: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHjNq6tpj82tmqssi=0f5SDSbVYrBtDWrt - I've covered pretty much every topic on figs. Just search whatever you're looking for and Ross Raddi.

Mission and Brown Turkey will not dry without molding. You need specific varieties and dry weather.

I live in west Texas, 40 miles from the Texas/New Mexico stateline. My summer temps are 100+ for weeks with little to no rain. Spring and Fall we recieve 2-3 inches of rain in a good year. What would recommend for my area? Thanks in advance.

I want to grow cold tolerant figs you cut back to the roots every year and mulch, and they produce brebba the next year, that’s a game changer for cold Climates like canada. Just heard about that.
@RossRaddiАй бұрын
Cut them back to the ground, you won't get any breba. You may also struggle to get main crop. I did that for years with little success. This article is a great guide for protecting them in each growing zone: www.figboss.com/post/fig-tree-hardy
@TheNewMediaoftheDawnАй бұрын
@@RossRaddi you’re right, not brebba, that’s old wood, main I meant. I’ll read, but I’m familiar with protection, indoors, porches, coverings, digging. I’m more interested in growing them like a real tree easily. Just cut and grow. I’ve heard Chicago can do it?
@TheNewMediaoftheDawnАй бұрын
I saw your vid first year protection. I’m Toronto zone 7 I believe. Be interesting to know if I could do Chicago hardy as a real tree after being acclimated year one, probably, be cool🌲👌
