Have you published your list of ones you're keeping, the ones that made the cull? The ones that stand out for you.

what is the planting distance of you fig farm

Perfect timing! I have 150 new fig trees in ground. This is exactly what I am doing for winter protection. So great confirmation for what I am also doing.

Does he have a channel? Would love to see more of this

i'm jealous

Great looking figs What zone?

When I was stationed in Turkey in the early 2000, I would go to the local open market and buy large black figs. I think they called them Anatolian black figs. Have you or anyone who follows you ever heard of them and if so, how can I order a cutting? Any help would be appreciated. Keep up the good work with your videos!

When you say caprified, do you mean pollinated?

No Black Madeira KK?

G

Do you have cuttings for sell?

Harvey and his farm is the GOAT!

Good golly man, have you got it going on.😊😂 I've got 12 in ground, central oklahoma. 👍👍

My lot in Louisiana was a hill that was bulldozed flat down to hard concrete-like red iron clay mixed with hard gravel. I started with rooted fig cuttings, dug tiny holes with a miner`s pick and put the cuttings in, added a little compost from my vegetable garden, then over time/years I put down layers of cardboard, green grass clippings, chopped leaves, rotting branches, and sandy/silty soil from a wash in the woods until the trees are growing in mounds beneath the canopy. I pee around the trees occasionally too.

Nice 😊

Good 😊

Awesome!

Lucky!

I have this huge independent caprifig in my land and its a edible wild one that hold three crops but i want to get rid of it i kepp pruning it every year but it comes shooting up from the ground like weed. Do you perhaps by any chance know a good way to kill a fig tree its roots and everything above???

👍

So where is his Bird Scaring device ? We are used to those screams in the background 😅

That was so rough! I am careful and dig down to save the roots. Easy peasy propagating. I do this a lot

Figs are easy to grow. No need to air layer. Take a few cuttings and stick it in a pot, you will see it root.

Wow, I am so jealous!!!

Wow that’s an amazing collection I have 17 different figs myself so far

Very delicious food better than rice❤❤

Hey man, love the vid and id like like to start air layering my mission fig tree but i live in las vegas where we currently are in a heat wave of 100+ degrees. My question is should i wait a few weeks until the temp drops around 90 degrees because im worried its just too damn hot, I've heard the roots grow best around 75-78 degrees. What are your thoughts on this?✌️

Bill! Your trees are gorgeous. Thank you Eric for posting this tour. So much fun to see!

Beautiful! I used the same method. I did an extra step and added rooting hormone to the cut bottom and sprinkled mychorhiza on the roots. I thought that couldn't hurt. I live in the desert and thought they might dry too quick so I made some extra wet when setting them up. That was a mistake. They were the ones that didn't root. I then trimmed off a lot of the bottom leaves, potted them up and and set them in the shade on the north side of the house. I made a sprinkling bottle out of an old water bottle and sprinkle morning and afternoon with a mild fish emulsion solution taking care not to overly water the soil but just the leaves. They're looking great. Now I have to figure out how to get 60 air layers in gallon pots thought the winter. Ha! I will continue air layering, but will still do some cuttings in the winter just to have something to do during those dark cold days of January and February.. I also had good luck this spring by thinning suckers from my ground trees. I hate wasting the pullings so I experimented with filling a 5 gal pot about 1/4 with moist peat Moss. I then pulled several from each variety and trimmed bottom leaves and with sissors, cut back the top leaves in half and dipped them in hormone and stuck them in the pot, one variety to each pot. I then covered the pot with one of those clear domes made from one of those clear plastic bowls from the dollar tree and set them in strong indirect light. If I didn't see condensation after a few days, I would sprinkle them with my bottle. They did great. I call them pullings because rather than cutting them, I pulled them so they would have the heel from the older wood attached. Sorry for the lengthy response. I lived your video.

Thanks

instead of folding like a taco you can pinch the cut part of the bag and pull it towards you and the roots can grow all the way around and easier to take the bag off if that make since.

Very happy to call Bill a great friend. When we get on the phone, it is almost impossible to end our conversation. I have learned so much from him. His practices and respect for nature are so refreshing! I look forward to his care package of pawpaws every year. He has been teaching me how to grow pawpaws as well. If he was not Mr. Figs, he would be Mr. Pawpaws. 😂 Keep spreading peace guys. We need your combined positive energy now more than ever!

I've known Bill aka Mr. Fig for years. He is a great guy, and truly enjoys his garden and sharing. Great video!

Two cool dudes!

Looking great, Bill!!! That cardboard trick is what I'll be trying this year.

Looks like a great guy to spend the day with. Nice fig trees and he makes it look so easy.... Its not.... Maybe if I was 29 again...... Glad you had a good time and made a new friend.

It's my first year growing figs and I've tried this method of air layering and some aren't developing roots good in the bags. I'm being patient and just leaving them but not sure when the cutoff time is when they should be removed. They will need time to develop good roots to survive the winter.

Wondering if you ever fruited this tree ?

Great instructional video. The best part is not having to provide bottom heat to cuttings in the 9x7 pots. It also takes the guess work out of knowing if your cutting has rooted.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Holy moly WOW!!! WHAT IS THAT. I imagine that is what my heaven looks like. No seriously though. I have heard Harvey's name so many time on these videos. And now you took me to his eden. TY for that. Is he on youtube? But seriously what is going on with all those fig trees?? He must sell them commercially huh? There were figs as far as the eye could see. Why is this video only a minute and change? What else is there? Why are you there LOLOL Sorry I'll stop. did you say those are caprified? You have the wasp in Tennessee? People are keeping them indoors in the winter? I am thinking about doing that.

Seriously incredible there. did you say he has seedlings? I must not understand well enough yet. I thought those needed to be pollinated by the wasp. What a great story about Mr Fig sending you all those cuttings. I can't wait till I can give stuff away. I have 50 first year trees this year. They have done exceptionally well. All but a few put out figs, and I was planning on almost zero figs from them. Some have 50 figs. Most have 20-30. But they are all first year, so I am super happy. I hear the taste will only improve with time, and I am already super happy with the taste, so let's go... What a great background story with you guys. That's what I'm all about. I need to get on our figs more often. I actually rarely use it. Just so much time in a day between work and kids. I squeeze in my few youtube videos. Thanks for the rocking videos...

wow... thats not far from me.. thanks for sharing...i was told i need to talk to you about chocolate and the project im about to start...

haha yeah for real; I had caprified figs from the fig hunter two days ago. My wife and I both went absolutely crazy. Just not right

I agree with Bill 100%

Santa Barbra to Tennessee - some jump huh. Super helpful video. TY for sharing your clearly successful tips. I seriously want to (almost NEED to) know if those figs ripened.

Thanks Eric! Such a beautiful and magical place! Bill is a great guy who truly enjoys sharing and helping others.

Really amazing! I learned a lot. Thank you!

I'm around 160 varieties. Can't imagine having 400.

Thanks for taking us along with you guys!
