These are my favorite videos of yours! I'm not on my fig journey yet but you've taught me a lot about berries!!!

It is very interesting, how are plant varieties named? Because I don't understand where exactly pomegranates grow in russia?

I have several young trees I started from cuttings I got last December from Ross the Fig Boss and they are so healthy! The biggest is 4 feet tall and a bush only 6 months later.

who got the sugar cane cuttings?

Hey Ross - a little off topic but the number of fig trees that you have made me wonder how you protect ripening figs from birds and squirrels. Do you net the groups of trees or use organza bags or? Seems that the number of figs will be in the hundreds so individual organza bags might be too much to deal with.....just a thought - mostly a question :) \

Hey Ross, I live in Kentucky and it seems like everybody here allows their fig trees to die down to the ground and covers their roots with leaf mulch in the winter. What is the variety of fig tree across from Geno’s Cheesesteak in Philly? It’s in an enclosed compound and it looks winter-hardy. It was at least 9 feet tall when I saw it. Definitely not trimmed down for the winter.

If you pinch of the apical bud will it continue to grow the next year or is it permanently done?

When you were cutting the plants back super hard could they have just needed way more nutrients to fruit more at high density? It is asking a lot of the plants to grow a whole new tree and fruit the same year.

Question: I have seen conflicting information, will the Chicago hardy fig grow fruit on the old growth or only on new growth?

My theory on the one that didn't take is the tip was laying too flat against the ground. I was trying to bend over some branches so they would grow along the ground to make it easier to cover them in the winter. The ones that stopped growing and actually died like the one you had fail, i had pinned the growing tip too flat. The ones that kept growing were the ones i kept the tip up about 45 degrees. They are doing fine. I saw this advice on an espalier video. Check your failures and see if my theory is proven correct.

It would seem having them planted so closely together would also help keep the trees smaller, which in an urban environment would have it's benefits. Have you found this to be the case?

The way you have them planted, how do you distinguish which tree it is? If you are selling cuttings, it’s a good chance that you will harvest them not knowing what variety you are cutting them 😮

Hey Ross, I am in Arizona and I have had a hard time growing fig trees. I have a Pinache Tiger fig tree that is 5 gallon and has not grown at all in 2 years. The soil is clay but good drainage. PH is pretty high at 8.1. Do you have any ideas of what could be going wrong? Does pH affect your trees?

Hahah - get rid of the grass!!

I think the concept of “competing for nutrients” is nonsense. There is so much soil in between roots and it’s only the soil they are in direct contact with that nutrients would be extracted from. Like you said if anything they compete for sun.

I’m planting in ground not going to trim for cutting’s. Full grown trees 20’ apart in sandy FL. soil

Question for you.... I have recently received 3 ROOTED fig cuttings from Turkey. With shipping they were $101. They have been potted up for about 5 days. I noticed 1 of them has what looks like frass coming out of one of them and the bark has what looks like a water stain on the bark below the frass. Do fig trees get a borer? If so I probably should cut my loses and throw it out as well as watch the others. You have a great chanel thanks!!!

“Im not complaining at all I did this to myself” 😂 good video fig boss.

Thank you for this update. I have limited space and have been very interested in high density planting but also interested in maximizing productivity. This is helpful.

I’ve got some about 3 f to apart. I will need to clear more sun for them thought.

My tree's leaves were drying up and falling off but the figs stayed! So i watered it and then ALL the leaves fell off, eventhough they wernt dried up or yellow.

Are the "scaffolding" the lateral growth?

Do you cover or protect all those trees over the winter? Or since they're several years old are they winter hardy enough? I live outside Pittsburgh and trying to figure things out for my winter protection. Thanks for your videos by the way!

I've have alot of my tree's like this I have the clay soil too but I also keep add woodchips and compost

Interesting 😊

In Arizona, planting the trees a little closer together helps get the fig fruit a little more shade so they don't dry out, when we get 110°F plus temperatures.

Good and important stuff Ross, thank you. For some of us, (we who live in the frozen tundra) the breba is the only one we think about.

My fig season has officially started in Z9B. Had some decent breba a few weeks back but had three varieties of main crop ( black celeste, Saint Rita and RDB ) starting June 12th. Others are swollen and starting to blush. Pleasantly surprising as these trees were all started from cuttings in may of last year and are all over 4’ tall and loaded. My I258 among others is almost 6’ tall with hundreds of figs of various sizes. I’m so glad my wife pushed me to add figs to my orchard. I had no idea there were so many options. All I had ever had was Southern Brown Turkey.

Mine too falling,those who ripe some big ants ate them while we’re waiting for their fully ripening.

Nothing about growing cane in a colder climate?

Hi Mr fig boss I leave upstate new York it’s my first year because it’s very cold here I put my figs in my basement but the starter growing in February and when I took outside all the abreba figs failed off tell me what to do next year 😊

Fig boss, I live in missouri zone 6b. I grow passion fruits and have great success. You should too bro. Beautiful flowers too. Easy propagation through cuttings as well.

Great topic, This year, we got brebas all over one of our italian honey fig trees. Im waiting to see what happens, no aborters yet😊.

Gosh, thank you! My Brown Turkey woke up with lots of breba buds. I had a huge crop last year of figs the size of my palm. So I was really looking forward to the crop this year. Our UK spring and summer this year is colder than normal, not much sunshine and all the brebas went soft and dropped off. I was trying to work out what happened and you have explained beautifully.

Good video. This is just to easy. I will try this. Thanks Ross

How many types of fig do you know , I did some that are like color purple . I never knew that they have few different kinds

Thanks for sharing. I just planted a Dwarf ever bearing mulberry tree. I hope to get as much fruit as yours.

Hey Ross, same principal supply I bought a rooted cutting from a nursery and it arrived, but it was wilting and I lost all the leaves on it. Well that same principal apply if I wanted to leaf out my cutting or even will it.

Could you share the links to buy these three trees?

Interesting video,mulberry white ,red&black ,crimson all verities ended in the first week of May bcoz unexpected heat started from 2nd week of May now June it’s hell like temperatures almost backing.Watering trees three time a day ,my crimson grape ripening along with figs ,hoping for monsoon rains to arrive with it temperature lowered &real fruiting of figs started here.

Hi Ross I live in zone 6b Springfield Mo I got lots of figs in container but problem how can I keep them in winter no green house ?

Thank you for the information 🤗

I have a question: I started cuttings that have rooted back in March and they are doing great. However I have them in dapple part/sun not full sun. the leaves seem happy so I’m tempted to leave it as is but I’m also concerned if they will under develop from not getting full sun; should I move them to full sun at some point or just let them grow as is

Fig Tree Jared Leto is the man

I just brought a cutting from a mission fig back from California to Tennessee. I have 1 leaf and a small bud. The leaf appears to have fig mosaic virus. This cutting has deep sentimental value and I don’t want to lose it. Best fertilizer to use please and any other suggestions. Thank you so much

So you can pinch them even most or all leaves have grown already?

I just ordered two Carmine/Tillamook bushes from Whitman Farms in Oregon. On their website, it’s just listed as Eleagnus multiflora (Eleagnus multiflora), but if you call and talk with Ms. Whitman, she says that Carmine and Tillamook are the same variety and will send it out to you. The shipping is a little steep but the pictures of the bushes she sells posted on forms are large and well packed. You have to order by phone.
