I greatly enjoy gardening and will be sharing some of my experiences on this channel. I learned a lot from others and this is my way of paying it forward. My goal is to make succinct and informative content that helps hobbyist gardeners make informed decisions. I hope you find it useful.
Automated Watering For Potted Plants
In this video, I show how I built an automated watering solution for my potted figs. It saves me a couple hours every week. I hope this helps you build a similar system. Here are the materials I used:

Why Is Your Desert King Dropping Figs?
Переглядів 4 тис.11 місяців тому
Desert King is a very popular variety and can be bought in many nurseries and big box stores in the US. However, folks may not realize that the variety is a San Pedro fig type. This means that it will produce a breba crop on last year's wood without pollination but requires pollination for the main crop that forms on the current season's growth. Pollination is difficult to achieve in many parts...

Just bought one
Nice! You’ll have fruit next spring.
I have the same setup with the rings, but I only use 4 emitters and they work pretty well. What size pots are you using?
Sorry about the slow response. Mine are 15 gallon pots. I’m sure 4 emitters also works well.
What month of the year is prime for air layer fig tree
I wouldn’t say there is one prime month. You can start from when the tree wakes up from dormancy until about 2 months before your first frost. The dates will vary based on your climate. Most people should be good to start in May and June.
@@jesen84 ty just did a few the end of june
Nice info shared, thank you. I have several cuttings I'm currently growing. I have 2 other kinds as well. One is a noid but the fruit can be eaten at any stage and is sweet, even when pink. It is small fruit as well. New sub here.
Thanks for dropping a comment. I’m also growing Shangri La and Pakistani varieties. Stay tuned for videos on those.
Thanks, You made it very Simple
I appreciate the positive feedback!
Just planted one, anxious to taste the fruit.
Exciting! I bet you’ll get a crop in the spring.
I’m going to try this today. I’ve got everything except the foil… but I’ve seen some UA-camrs working them without the foil. And also some said they don’t water them at all. Let me go try 10 of them😅🙌🏿… see you in a month and a half.
Awesome! You can always add some foil when you see roots. You might be able to get away without adding water - just keep an eye on the soil color to know if it’s getting dry. Let me know how it works for you. Good luck!
That's a nice set up you have there, nice and neat.
Thank you! It has been working well for me.
A great video. Easy and not a lot of talking. It's going to be mid July where I live before being able to do this. Is that too late in the season or I'm I still OK? Our first frost is usually October 15.
I think you should be OK. You should have at least 2 months runway. Good luck!
U have ants on th 5:37 harvest plant e
1:22 wow, $90 two years agp. Wonder the price now
I think he got a very good price. That is the Pastilier variety which is expensive. The pot is big like 15 gallons. The tree was big too. In South California, some nurseries and craiglist sellers selling 15 gallons of Panache Tiger, Black mission, Brown turkey for $250. Those varieties are way less valuable comparing to Pastilier. I bought 5 gal pots of Desert King, PT, BM.... for $45. Those trees were only 3-4 ft and much smaller than his tree. About the size of the branch that he grafted in this video.
I can't find your number, sorry. I hope you still have mine. Looking for another mulberry, thank you. Stay cool
Clear and helpful comments, really appreciate your approach!
Thank you very much for the positive feedback!
I went an india this plant
Yes, it’s a great one to have. Best of luck finding it in your area!
Would you have a rooted cutting for sale?
Very helpful, concise and to the point! Thanks much.
Thank you! Positive feedback means a lot.
If you pick these or if you pick blackberries or pick blueberries it is good to let them sit in the container for 24 hours before putting them in the fridge. This will sweeten them up tremendously.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for a nice profile. One question, when you say this variety has small fruits, what are you comparing it to ? Other dwarfs or are they the standard varieties ?
I am comparing it to other varieties such as Shangri La or Pakistani, neither of which is a dwarf. Usually the term dwarf tends to refer to the rate of growth or mature size of the tree, and isn’t a property of the fruit.
How do you keep it that size ?? Just keep topping the branches over time.?
The main reason is that it’s on a dwarfing rootstock. On top of that, Arizona soil quality is low and roots will only grow as far as you water.
Can you show a little better what you used it’s an awesome video but need a little bit more information
Thanks! Check the video description for a list of materials.
Pozdrav zemljace. Lepe su ti smokve a i ovaj sistem za navodnjavanje.
Opa, svugdje nas ima. Vidim da imaš baš puno sorti i da se družiš sa Dan Fosterom. Svaka čast! Meni prijeti razvod ako nastavim skupljati :) Javi se na jesen84@gmail.com ako si za nake razmjene.
@@jesen84 Zene su nam iste :)
Where do you get those pots?
I have this store locally. You might have a similar one near by growershouse.com/injection-molded-premium-nursery-pots
Nice setup. Any idea about the amount and frequency that you think is ideal for here in the Old Pueblo? And please remind me what potting soil / media you're using.
I have it running for 20 minutes nightly right now. I could probably shave off a couple minutes, but I’m choosing to be cautious. As the temperatures drop, I’ll reduce the frequency. In the winter it may only need water once every two weeks.
Excellent work!
Man you collection has grown. Great video of a clean system. Well done.
Thanks! There are more varieties that aren’t even part of the video :)
I almost purchased a desert king yesterday in Amarillo Texas. I wasp does not live here in Texas. The nursery was asking 230.00 for the plant and that was not including them planting the fig tree. I'm glad now that I passed.
Great call - you can get much better varieties for your region. That's a crazy expensive plant. Check out the Yellow Long Neck I have for sale: figbid.com/Listing/Browse?Seller=jesen84
Looks delicious 😋
It is! I hope you get to try it!
Needs more water when the fruit is developing
I’m glad you decided that based on reading the title and not watching the video :)
I have the same tree that's how I know. Living in Miami Florida probably helps too lol @@jesen84
Thanks for this review. I appreciate your careful use of language, accurate but not over-enthusiastic. There are so many extravagant reviewers who go crazy with excitement over every variety!
Thank you. I try to keep it honest to help others make informed decisions on what to collect. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. This is my favorite fig (thus far).
Looks great👍🏽 that lemon squeezer is cool
Yeah! That juicer saves a lot of time.
Excellent thank you
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I love the positive feedback.
Are they used to stop clowns?
Hmm, I have not heard of that use yet :)
Thanks for the yellow long neck and mulberry. Look forward to future fruits.
Great meeting you Ande. Let me know how they do for you this year!
Everything I needed to know thanks
Thank you for the feedback!
You really have to love orange juice, wr can hear your mouth watering in the video.🙂
😋 it’s the best tasting OJ!
Very cool - i have a regular white mulberry - not worth it because it is too large and i need to cut it back every year. Curious what variety, i am also in 9B but in Florida. You should do a video on the wine
How much water do you start with?
I soak the water as much as possible because my cover is not air tight and dries out slowly. Good luck.
Do you have any cuttings available
Sorry, I don’t this time of year. Please check back in January.
you have plants in espania
Sorry, I don’t send plants internationally
Is this a dwarf mulberry because it’s on a rootstock or does this variety just stay small?
It’s growing on its own roots - not grafted on a rootstock. The variety is dwarfed compared to other mulberry varieties that can reach like 60ft tall. However for a normal home garden it will get as big as you want.
Lol the label said it will get 4’ to 6’ tall on one well I guess I will have to cut it if it gets bigger
Wonderful review - those look delicious!
Thank you! You should see how it does in Oregon.
@@jesen84 - Eric is growing it north of me. We are trying to avoid overlap as we are trialing so many. Just got back from a week down there. Tucson, Phoenix area and Cave Creek - so nice!
Amigo acaso esa variedad es de argentina?.
No, es de Francia.
Is this variety a big producer?
Yes. It often produces multiple figs at a node.
🤤
Can't wait till mines produce here in Michigan
Best of luck! You’re brave to grow citrus that far north :)
Thank you for this review. I just bought this tree and potted. Is your tree in a pot or the ground?
Mine is in the ground. I’m sure it will do fine in a large enough pot. Good luck!
I bought five but because of the way they were shipped I broke one and it perished. I hope to not only get lots of fruit but also use them to distract the birds away from my fig trees which may have the opposite effect. Who knows. But I feed the birds and they eat a lot of pests in my garden so I need them around. Hopefully by planting a LOT of fruit there will still be enough for all of us. There were so many blackberries last year that we all had plenty in the big patch.
Hehe, I like the strategy - just plant enough for everyone to share. Good luck!
I got this for my chicken run Hope they will like it
This fig I like very much, greetings from Indonesia ...
Thank you!
Will the fruit get larger over time? The mulberries look kinda smaller than I remember them being during my childhood.
Hi! There are different varieties of mulberries and these are one of the smaller ones. I’ll post some videos of Shangri La and Pakistani varieties this season. They are both bigger.
Excellent! We have one indoors 😊
Very cool! Thank you for watching :)
