    Really enjoyed my adores dark this year. I noticed the flavor profile to get more complex as time went on. First year tree in 7 gal pot and close to 60 figs. Almost all were small like that. Can’t wait for next year

  • @edslim718
    @edslim718 Місяць тому

    LOL you really made me laugh out loud. I think that too about when people say that didn’t taste good. The only figs I’ve had that don’t taste good, you know they aren’t going to taste good because of some specific condition (they got beat up somehow). I really think the food you give them makes a huge difference. I actually proved it on my indoor angelito. I gave it nothing for three weeks and the taste changed drastically. Don’t get me wrong it was still good but the brix reading was 23-26. Which is still good don’t get me wrong. Re-introduce some love, and bam back into the 30s on the brix reader. I had one close to 40 brix. It was insane. Too sweet is a thing I think. Well thank goodness I have this one already. because after that description, I’d have to get it lol. Got it late this year. But huge from traveling gardener. Will be a beast next year.

  • @edslim718

  • @edslim718

    Hey A Fig - so happy I found you on fig bid. This is me yesterday: okay one more variety where is clbc. Let’s search fig bid. Oh geez 17 listings. How will I ever know who to get this from. Oh wait what: is that A Fig!?!?!? Bam! You made my life easy. Ty for that. Really enjoyed this video. LOVE how your mom is dropping knowledge. Reminds me of my mom and family with the small accent and tons of fig knowledge. They have like 100s of scenarios they can share. Super cool and so valuable. I had an Irene’s black Greek that was like that BM you just had. It was my first (and only so far) one, and it looked incredible. Just like that with red liquid on the inside. And when I ate it, it was very good but yes little watery. Can’t wait for more. It’s my second indoor experiment. I think you’ll appreciate my first indoor experiment update on angelito: it’s out of control incredible. It’s in a 10 gal potter and the other day I counter 157 figs on it. I’ve eaten about 30 and it is not slowing down. It’s just a super prolific tree. And responds extremely well to what I give it. I am really learning this tree incredibly well. I know when to give it some of this and some of that. It’s provided me what I feel is like 5 years of experience in one season. It has tertiary branches already. It’s a first year cutting. And I have not cut one branch anywhere. 7 or 8 scaffolds and just put out a new main branch. Literally every single node has figs. Holla

      Perhaps next time to be cautious, I'll apply a tree wrap around the trunk and get some tanglefoot to treat the wrap instead of the trunk. I better go check my tree again.

I didn’t have too much luck rooting in sand. 🙁 I do sell locally and I REALLY recommend Atreano (green outside/ red inside) and Italian Honey (yellow outside/ white inside) for here if you like the light figs. I have trees of both of these varieties for sale. If you are interested just email me (a-fig@att.net) I love these because they are very early and very productive!! The Italian honey tree I have for sale is already 4 years old and will be amazing this summer. The Atreano - I have ages 1-4 years and great pricing.
