The Most Irresistible Giant Figs!

[@BNOBLE.]

Thanks for finding my fig tree. The replacement you sent is doing fantastic and UPS never responded to my lost package claim. Once again thank you for sending the replacement when I told you that my tree never arrived.

[@philipstarnes2915]

Love the videos Travis I got my figs from you last summer and it was late summer. Some of them are 12 feet tall now it’s insane how fast they grow.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Wow 12' is impressive! You're doing something right!

[@Annastasia666]

Dude! You gotta plant that bad boy and take us on its journey to greatness in your garden. What a great marketing tool! Also, the US postal service suuuuuux! Worse than not delivering live plants is not delivering checks for a business. I feels!

[@diannevaldez8670]

Yum fresh, yum jam/jelly! I can't wait for fruit from my fig trees!!!

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

We love our LSU Gold, good stuff!

[@mkh239]

This has been one of the best fig production I have had but the figs are no where near as dark as they usually are and they are much larger. The taste is still great.

[@gregoryb7485]

MAN IM GETTING MY FIRST BLACK MALTAS , THEY ARE GREAT !!!!! THESE ARE LATER MATURING FIGS BUT THAY ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS TRAVIS

[@LazyDogFarm]

Had a visitor this afternoon and I let him taste all the ripe figs in the orchard. His favorite was Malta Black amongst the 15 or so he tried.

Hi. Can I ask you to please make a video on how to care/ grow fig trees, how long before they actually bear fruit,etc. thank you ☺️

[@sporkd2]

My lsu gold are huge! Although they don't seem to like all the rain we've been getting on the NC coast lately

[@CraftEccentricity]

I got a GE Neri from you last year, but this year I went bigger and got a Constantine de Algerie

[@LazyDogFarm]

I don't have that one, but now I'm curious.

[@CraftEccentricity]

@@LazyDogFarm Mine is young and no fruit, but I'm looking forward to next year! Its around 4ft right now

[@cliftonmcandrew8984]

I would plant that tree Travis and see how it does. I’m from California so I can’t buy any of your trees too bad.

[@chuckpatch1230]

what should i do if i buy a generi that is dormant when it arrives? do i up pot it.leave it a lone.put under lights and water.i am not sure any help appreciated.would it come dormant and if so what do you suggest for care till spring??

[@LazyDogFarm]

You could leave it dormant. Or you could get it back growing again if you have room for it indoors through the winter. If going for the latter option, just snip the tip and you should see it making lots of side branches in just a couple weeks.

[@jdoboy6835]

Hi. I didn't read all of the questions, or the replies, but, I wish you would mention the ZONES that the fig varieties do best in? Estimated Hardiness? I'd like to know If they take 6 months of summer heat to reach production, & or if they need to be grown in a large pot planter & moved indoors for the winter? Maybe, you could post a list of the different varieties out there, & what types you sell, & how far North they should go? Zone 5. NE Ohio?????????? Thanks.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Problem is that I have no way of testing cold hardiness because it doesn't get that cold down here. Most varieties are going to be okay in the ground down to 20 degrees. Growers that get colder than that typically grow them in large pots so they can protect them during the winter. Some varieties are more early-maturing than others, which would be a benefit up north.

[@pdgtp]

When do you normally have stock?

[@LazyDogFarm]

We usually start pre-sales in late winter and then start shipping in April as temperatures allow. Some varieties go very fast, while others may remain in stock for several months.

[@pdgtp]

@ thanks for responding

[@DrSmokeBBQ7269]

Whats the sure gel fig recipe?

[@LazyDogFarm]

It used to be included in the boxes of Sure Gel pectin. But now I think it's online only.

[@79PoisonBreaker]

What fig tree would you recommend of the berry varieties for growing in a pot with 100 day summer? would any berry variety be good to try or should I avoid certain ones? Hello from Canada with a very limited selection. I look forward to tasting a fig that is not in a cookie hahaha.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Some berry varieties take too long to ripen for your short season. LSU Tiger is an early-maturing fig, but it's more sugar-berry as opposed to having the real tart berry flavors. But a great fig nonetheless. Salem Dark is probably the earliest true berry fig I have in my orchard. It's been known to do well in the New England area, so you might have a good chance with it too.

[@greennature6828]

How we can get it ??

[@LazyDogFarm]

We'll have all our varieties restocked on our site (lazydogfarm.com/) early next year. Right now we're wrapping up shipping for the year and so varieties/quantities are limited.

[@buckWildest]

so i noticed my figs not as dark this year, some of my celeste were kinda green and fully rip, so odd. maybe it was the drought we got while they were developing in april, i didnt get rain for a month

[@tammyohlsson7966]

My figs, firsts year in the ground but 4 years old. Are super tiny, flavorful but so small. Hopefully they will get bigger. LSU purple and Martinica Ramada. I need a big fig. SE Texas. Which one would you recommend? Will you have it for sale? I want sweet for jam. Blessings!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Hard to wrong with LSU Gold if you want to make a bunch of jam. We'll have more of those hopefully in September.

[@tammyohlsson7966]

@@LazyDogFarm I will look for them. Thank you!

[@jennifermoffett2939]

Dp you freeze dry your surplus Figs?

[@LazyDogFarm]

I don't have a freeze dryer, so no.

[@marysurbanchickengarden]

Every fig you have on your site I am interested in are all sold out 😕 Brown turkey figs are as common as dirt here in southeast Alabama,, I can get plenty of them. Are any of those in front of the green house not spoken for?

[@Chris-bx4vk]

Here we go.. let's watch Trav pick figs 3-5 days too early lol

[@LazyDogFarm]

Haha! This rain we've been getting every afternoon is spoiling all my figs before they can ripen -- especially the honey and sugar figs. The berry figs seem to be a little more tolerant of large influxes of water.

[@Chris-bx4vk]

@@LazyDogFarm I feel you brother. I'm fighting the same thing here in Charleston. Rain or squirrels are taking most of my crop. Hope you get to experience a fully ripe fig one of these days though!

[@gregoryb7485]

WILL FIGS MATURE AFTE PICKING LIKE A TOMATO ?? PLEASE LET ME KNOW . thanks

[@Chris-bx4vk]

No

[@sherricarlton6813]

Did you get my email and pictures? I would love replacements. Thanks

[@LazyDogFarm]

I did. I replied that I'd send replacements as soon as I have more of those varieties ready. Should be around mid to late September.
