A Ray of Sunshine a.k.a. back from the dead
7-28-24
A look at my sad excuse for a greenhouse that I had become disengaged from after a devastating winter loss of most everything. But There is a spirit of survival in these plants which is like a ray of sunshine to me. I can now envision a return to lushness.

Black Jack fig with twins
Переглядів 189Місяць тому
6/22/24 Today I noticed that my Black Jack fig tree has quite a few twins or Double figs from one node. After I made the video I realized that it is pretty much limited to one branch. I wonder if that branch is a sport and, if I air layer it, will I get a tree producing doubles?

    Question if you graft different varieties of pawpaw onto one tree? Would they fruit?

    • @stephendunn4942
      @stephendunn4942 Місяць тому

      That is the purpose of the grafts. Similar to my apple and pear trees where I have multiple varieties grafted to one tree. I am hoping it will help with pollination and also allow more varieties to grow in a smaller space.

    I live in north FL about 30 miles from the GA line, and the Texas Everbearing has been a big disappointment for me. I've read that it is just another name for brown turkey? Anyway, it died back to the ground three years in a row, regrowing to almost 6 feet all every year and has NEVER made a single fig. I managed to save it from freeze damage this winter and we're starting from 5 feet tall this year but so far no signs of any figs... Thanks for your video!

    • @stephendunn4942
      @stephendunn4942 2 місяці тому

      @quintyoung have you fertilized it at all? I don't really like to use man made fertilizers, but I have struggled the last several years so I did take some advice and threw a handful of 13-13-13 around each of my figs. It does seem to have helped.

  • @charlesharrison7705
    @charlesharrison7705 2 місяці тому

    Why don't you put a plastic bag over the graft scion? This is done with pecan grafts and seems to work well. It helps retain moisture and the buds seem to break faster.

    • @stephendunn4942
      @stephendunn4942 2 місяці тому

      Yes, I have seen the bags used by others. However, I seemed to have problems doing so. I do prefer to wrap the entire scion in a layer of parafilm, but did not have any during these grafts.

      With some research it will be seen that goldfish do like to eat duckweed. That is the reason it was put with them. They actually ended up eating all of it over a period of time as I did not replenish the duckweed.
