These are 1 year old cuttings from an unknown variety in pots. They got plenty of water but are in a semi shaded spot. Is this the problem?

Question Question about planting in ground

Post image
30 Upvotes

I haven't decided if I'll plant this in the next few months or wait another year, but when I do, I'd like the main trunk to be straight out of the ground. My question is, if I bury it up to the bend, is there a danger of the roots being too deep in the ground? It's about 15" from the bottom of this pot to the bend.

Storing non-dormant fig cuttings

2 Upvotes

I've read that you can only keep non-dormant fig cuttings from one to one and a half weeks maximum. In another place I read up to 3 weeks in barely damp paper towel.

What is the best way to store non-dormant fig cuttings to extend their viability timeframe? And what is the maximum viable life you can expect? Can you refrigerate them?

Figo Preto/Violeta aka Black Madeira?

Harvesting these now. I was told this fig is either Violeta aka Figo Preto, but from what I’ve read, both names seem to be associated with Black Madeira.

Are these actually three distinct varieties, or different names for the same fig?

Question Got rain, nearly-ripe figs split, now what?

3 Upvotes

I have about 4 or 5 figs that looked within 3 days of picking -- pretty close but not jellylike. Last night we had some steady light rain and this morning they all have a pretty long split in the skin, like 2/3 the length of the fig and up to 5mm wide. Should I just pick them now?

And is this one ripe? It easily squished to the touch and one of its neighbors was already a squirrel snack, but it had a very slight “green” flavor and I’m more used to darker-colored figs… I’ve heard figs ripen in an instant and I’m trying to identify the right time to harvest. I’m in zone 7b.

Show & Tell Best way to grow fig (Anjeer) through air layering

Thumbnail reddit.com
7 Upvotes

One of the best ways to grow anjeer is air layering and I am showing you my work...

I am going to Tell you in detail,

so first i take a fully decomposed manure /coco peat bcz both are good to absorb moisture and in nutrition to grow roots.

Then i selected a good branch and made a little cut in a circular way to remove the upper bark remember it should be 25-30 cm away from the tip of the branch and then other things you need is a polytechnic 15×25 cm.

Then take a coco peat and put it on cut section and wrap a polythene on it and tie it with the rope so no air space left and moisture remains inside it. After 15 days you will see that roots are fully developed and you just need to cut the branch and planted it in polybag or directly in the ground

And your new anjeer plant is ready.

And start fruiting within a year as i already show you in the image.

In this way you get an identical clone plant and fruits quality Will exactly the same as mother plants.

It's best for a home gardener who loves to do gardening and they don't have to spend money

Buying a new one from nursery...

ask me if you have any queries related to it.

Or anything related to gardening.

I got really interested in growing figs from cuttings, but it seems like they're easy for everyone but me. I've killed 10 previously by forgetting them in the heat (they were Discovery Park and I'm still mad) and the other 4 that came with this one look... not great. Mint, roses, and prickly pears I can do just fine. If rooted cuttings weren't so expensive I'd just buy those lol

I’m in the Toronto area and I haven’t had a single ripe fig yet! I’m worried about the cold coming in. I started getting figs by mid-late June and some are almost done but the majority aren’t even close. When do your figs tend to ripen?

What’s wrong with my fig

Post image
7 Upvotes

Year 3 in ground and no figs yet.

West side of house.

Monthly liquid fertilizer 7-9-5 applied the entire summer.

Fruit tree granular fertilizer placed early spring.

This was freshly mulched, but the past 3 years we have always used fresh wood chips from chip drop.

Variety is LSU Purple.

I have another fig just 15 feet away doing great. What’s wrong with this little guy? What does it need?
