Looks great Chris! Question: If you could plant just one fig in a greenhouse, would it be this or the Black Madeira KK? I have both and they look so similar.
@@MikeKincaid79 - I would be concerned with Black Madeira splitting in a greenhouse. Seems like Bourjasotte Grise does not split as much and is earlier. BG for the 🏆 Black Madeira is good as well. Maybe both lol?
@@oregonfigs3314 I've been pouring over info about my area and outdoor/in ground growing and I think we're just a tad bit too cool and the summer is too short. There are some varieties that will fruit well but many are hit or miss. I've been comparing your area to mine and it's just a little warmer and sunnier and that may make all the difference. Been looking heavily into building a greenhouse here. I really appreciate all the info you put out about your area.
@@MikeKincaid79 - Hi Mike, We definitely have warmer temperatures down here. We still have a very short season and Breba crops varieties in ground and early main crop varieties are best. If you could give your potted trees a two month head start in a heated greenhouse, you would ripen darn near anything up there. The key is keeping the nighttime temperatures at 60F or above. This helps set the actual figlets. Breba crops rule for the PNW IMO. The thing is you have to be patient as the trees need to get bigger to effectively avoid cold damage and have nice new wood for the next year. It takes at least three years in ground down here to start getting prolific Breba crops.
@@wanderingmonk007 - Think about it - I am in a cooler climate with a short season and I can ripen BG with nothing more than a favorable microclimate. This fig variety checks so many boxes.
Thank you
You're welcome
Awesome Chris! I bought a cutting of BG PP, last year so I have a good tree, and hoping to get some fruit next year!
Good luck!
