Fig, Brown Turkey Variety Setting Fruit
Cool. . .he names em all in the first 40 seconds. . In this climate I get oranges/tangerines often too. . . Good for skin. . Immune system. . Yummy taste and more 🍊
Thanks for watching. What area do you live in?
@@edibletropicaltrees oh hey. . SouthWest US. . . California. . 9b /10a grow zone I believe 💯🌿
Figs are so nice. Never seen these!
Nice!
Thanks for the. It tasted so good!
Is this a breba or main crop?
Thanks for watching. This is the first main crop Fig. This tree was only a cutting 18 months ago.
@@edibletropicaltrees thanks for your response. I have rooted two cuttings of Nixon Peace this year and hoping to put one in the ground next year. It is such a fast and vigorous grower.
Yes it is a fast grower. Other Fig trees that grow fast are: Peter's Honey, Panache Tiger, and Yellow Long Neck.
What zone are you in? I had one I planted in ground cut to 3 ft tall and stuck a big 3’ wide tomatoe cage stuffed with leaves for insulation. Zone 8- but got down to about 15 degrees for two nights. Came back but then the branches were so slow to grow and eventually just died altogether. Will try cutting down to ground I guess….any other tips? I really don’t want to just grow in pot.
Thanks for watching. I'm in zone 9b, so it doesn't get too cold for them in my area. Moringa trees don't like cold weather. They are such fast growing trees, growing in containers doesn't work very well. Cutting them back and putting the cage around them, like you did, is the best way to try and get them through the winter in colder areas, because they don't like colder weather.
That's pretty amazing. How are you rooting these? Looks like you use a humidity dome? I'm trying to root some Black Madeira in my garage. It's been 2 weeks and no roots yet, I think it might be too hot in there.
I put cuttings in 16 oz clear cups so I can see when they get roots. Then I put another cup over the top of the cutting to help with moisture. Black Madeira are slower growing, so may take a little longer to root.
Good info!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!
Thanks for watching.
Great informative video Mel, watching from City of Brisbane which is in the State of Queensland in Australia
Thanks for watching and giving your location.
Try durian fruit next time , it’s also my favorite too!
Thanks for watching. They had some Durian fruit at the Asian Market also, but it was in the freezer, so the seeds wouldn't have been viable. Sometimes they have fresh Durian, so next time they have fresh Durian I will get some and do a video.
@@edibletropicaltrees I agree with you , the durian fruit is usually preserved in the freezer . If you see the fresh one next time try it , a lot people don’t like the way it smells but I really eating it! It’s pricey than the jackfruit !
They're not the easiest plant to graft. Somehow a fungus usually attacks both the scion & grafting union. The seeds are super easy to germinate sometimes they're already germinating in the fruit. I'm wondering if you sanitize the grafting tools as well as probably treating both the rootstock & scion with some kinda anti fungal treatment would minimize or eliminate fungus infestation?
This is my favorite !
That is an interesting plant. I like the idea of helping with gophers.
Thanks for watching and commenting.

What soil media are you using? Impressive growth
You can use cactus potting soil from the store, but I'm actually using 30% Peat Moss, 30% mulch, 20% Sand, and 20% Perlite.
Southwest Florida
Thanks for watching and sharing your location.
Wow, nice tree! Looks like it’s doing incredibly well 👍. I’ve tried the fruit before, but haven’t been able to source a tree here. I do have a relative of it, the rose apple (Syzygium jambos), although that tree has pretty much died to the roots and it was indoors all winter 😢
Thanks for watching. I've tried to grow a few trees inside, but I think the AC dries the air out too much. I built a humidity greenhouse in my garage the I get the trees started in. Then I gradually acclimated them to the outside, before planting them in the ground.
I have a desert gold peach tree, planted two years ago. It's only about 5 feet tall at the moment and produces fruit only about the size of a golf ball. Can I expect the peaches to be bigger as the tree grows bigger? It's a little disappointing seeing the peaches grow only to the size of a golf ball. Btw, I'm in Nevada. Soil conditions are not the best.
Thanks for watching. When my Desert Gold Peach tree was younger the peaches were smaller. So yes as it gets older the peaches will get larger. It usually has lots of peaches, so I remove about one third of them and that helps the remaining ones be larger also.

Thanks for watching.
I like all the information you added to this video. Very informative.
Thanks for watching. I try to give information that will help people grow better healthier tree, that has helped my trees grow better.
@edibletropicaltrees Also if you could, add in how you acidify the soil, and do you have to do it often? I love mangoes 🥭, have grown some from seed, but they croaked. I'd like to get one or two going again!
I check the pH of the soil at least once a month, to make sure it is in the correct range. To lower pH I add sulfur. There are different kinds of sulfur. Native sulfur only breaks down when temperatures are above 80°F. So in the winter I use ammonium sulphate, because it will break down at lower temperatures. Also sometimes I will put cup of vinegar in a gallon of water and pour it around the perimeter of the trees. I keep the pH of the soil on the East side of the house between 6.0 & 7.0
@@edibletropicaltrees thank you!
I'm in Phoenix. I have a little starter I got from Etsy several months ago. It's now in the ground and growing happily in this stifling heat. Might be a while before it does anything memorable though.
Fignomenal Fig trees are suppose to be dwarf trees that don't get bigger than 3 feet tall, so you should be able to leave it in a 5 to 10 gallon container. I have several varieties of fig trees in containers. In containers you need to add fertilizer once every month or two, because the fertilizer washes out when you water them. I try to put the containers where they get morning sun and afternoon shade.
I have a Mexicola grande grow in the ground and it’s giving fruit this year but most of my container avocados are suffering fertilizer burn on the leaves
Thanks for watching. Are you sure it's fertilizer burn? The water pH in my area is 7.5 and avocado trees want a pH of 6.0 to 7.0, so they can absorb nutrients unless the pH is in that area. I add sulfur to keep the pH under 7.0
I'm in Phoenix. I have a barbados cherry in the ground. This is its third summer. It blooms plenty but still no cherries! ☹️
You might try using a fertilizer higher in Phosphorus and Potassium. These minerals help promote flower and fruit set. Also how many hours of sunlight does it get? They usually require 5 to 6 hours of sunlight to set fruit.
It gets sun from noon onwards. Seems to be enough to produce plenty of flowers. As far as the soil, it's covered in mulch with a very active population of critters breaking it down into black gold. So it doesn't seem to me like it would be lacking any nutrients. I hear they're not supposed to be fussy. I'm hoping one of these days it will surprise me 🙂
I planted a couple of seedlings that were from peach seeds and are two yrs. old. They are growing nectarines that are only half-developed right now. I understand the peach seed also carries the nectarine gene, so I guess it must be true. From Northern Ca.
Thanks for watching. I've never had a seed from one type of fruit grow a different type of fruit. Seedlings are not true to seed. If the fruit isn't good, you might try grafting a known good variety of fruit to your tree.
Snow Queens are very delicious
Thanks for watching.
I bought one at the same time, and the taste does resemble sour cherry which I absolutely love. The only thing is I picked the fruit when it was fairly unripe, and it had just a slightest hint of bitterness , but overall even slightly unripe I did not hate the fruit at all. The tree is amazing, it keeps on flowering and producing new fruit. The picture is incorrect, the photo is of a sweet cherry, I was honestly nervous of trying the fruit at first because I thought it would be terrible, luckily it’s a good tasting fruit.
Thanks for watching and for your comments.
I’m in Mesa. Ordered from Lara Farms. Getting Magana, Pace, and Florida varieties. I plan to grow the seeds too.
Thanks for watching. Good luck on growing your seeds. It's fun watching them grow.
Thanks. I really like the fruit so definitely want to add to my collection. Thanks for the video.
Are not the root invasive? It's really close to your driveway
The roots have a main tap root. I've grown them 3 feet from my house with no problems. I've been growing them for over 15 years.
@@edibletropicaltreesDid not know that! Thank you!
Reminds me of an artichoke the way it is peeled. Thank you for showing us about the banana flower.
Thanks for watching. It is a little like an artichoke.
In our culture , we eat those a lot ! Can make salad or soup !
Thanks for watching. This is the first time I've tried it.
@@edibletropicaltrees you’re welcome !
Neat!
Just bough one, south central west Florida (9B (maybe 10A). I read there separate male female trees so you'll need both for berries but I'm happy with just smelling the leaves at this point.
Yes to get them to produce berries, you do need both male and female trees, but you can get pretty much the same spice from just the leaves. Also the leaves make a very good tea.
Until you run out of ground water! Hope that doesnt happen but nice pineapple glad you got a start. 👍
I'm a 4th generation native to Arizona and my great grandfather and the Apache Indians built most of the canals here in my area so they would have water for their plants. We still use those same canals today for water. 💦
Why not??????
@@geriannroth449 Why not what?
@edibletropicaltrees I was referring to your defying the Norm, to just make tings happen
@geriannroth449 OK, thanks.
Maybe ill try some pineapples in Arizona.
Thanks for watching. Have fun growing pineapples.
Happy Father's day Mel!!🎉
Thank you very much, for the Father's Day wish.
@edibletropicaltrees you're most welcome!
Did you say your solution feed for the seeds consists of 1 gallon water 2 tablespoons of Vitamin B1 1 vitamin C tablet 1 aspirin tablet I didn't hear you tok clearly on the video. So I just want to clarify. Is the aspirin you use the "baby aspirin"?. Also is the vitamin C tablet the ones that fizz & dissolve in water. Do I apply as needed & how long do I apply this solution to the seeds. Can I apply it to cuttings as well?
In a gallon of water, put one aspirin and two tablespoons of Vitamin B1. This helps improve roots growth for seeds and cuttings. Aspirin has the same chemical as willow bark, which is a good rooting hormone. There are several things that can be used for rooting hormones, like Aloe Vera, honey, banana, onion, etc.
@edibletropicaltrees ok thanks for the confirmation. But do you use baby aspirin?
@@geriannroth449 No, just cheap aspirin I get at Walmart.
Ormoc, Philippines got two trees here
Thanks for watching and sharing.
Yo that fignomenonal is huge! lol. Mines barely 3 feet
Yeah, I understand Fignomenal Fig trees are suppose to be dwarf trees and stay small. The nursery I bought it from is usually pretty reliable, but I'm not sure if this is really a Fignomenal tree or not?
In Philippines during the 60's my grandma has the tree we loved to eat the seeds of young ...but when it ripe the inside colored brown black...Have you try the mabolo...
Thanks for watching. No I haven't tried Mabolo. I'll have to try and get a Mabolo tree someday. I've heard it's a banana flavored apple. Have you tried it?
Love de Hat😊
How old is she? Is she seed grown?
Would you suggest this same solution for other fruit tree seeds?
I use it for all the trees I'm growing from seeds.
They are coming along really well!
Thanks for watching.
Wow, great fruit set!
Thanks for watching.
Is this the best nectarine variety for the Mesa area?
I feel or the different varieties I've tried, this one is the best.
You mean meiwa kumquat?
Thanks for watching. There are several varieties of Kumquat, this one is Kishu
@@edibletropicaltrees no information on such variety, I google it
Very cool, and glad to hear it grows fast. Where did you get it from?
Thanks for watching. I ordered it online about a year ago. I've heard there a place in Tempe, Arizona that has several varieties, but haven't been able to find out where that is yet.
@@edibletropicaltrees Ordered it from Etsy? I saw a seller there, but not sure if reputable... Appreciate if you can share. Thanks.
Don't grow from seed. In the Arizona desert pollination is no problem. It blossoms for about 6 months or more but only sets usable fruit during chill weather.
Do you know it’s cold tolerance?
They are cold tolerant to the mid 20's °F and need morning sun and afternoon shade.
@@edibletropicaltrees 👍🏼🙏🏼
Interesting😊
Thanks for watching. I love the taste of this fruit and I'm grafting it to all my citrus trees.
Mel is normal for an Abiu seed to produce 3 shoots?
You previously mentioned a goal of having ripe fruit in your yard year-round. What are the most challenging months? What trees could be a solution?
I have 26 varieties of Figs trees which have fruit May thru November. Citrus starts ripening December thru March. Five varieties of bananas that ripen on their own time line, any time of the year. Loquats ripen February to March. Apricot that ripen in June. Six varieties of Nectarines that ripen May thru September. So there are different fruit ripening pretty much every month of the year, but it takes years for these different trees to mature to the stage where these trees give you a full production.
@@edibletropicaltrees Looks like figs and nectarines are key for the hottest months. Good info 👍 South Phoenix.
