Awww, my 4 yo daughter loved seeing (and hearing) your little guy!
What an adorable assistant you have!
Your son stole the show!!!! More scrumptious than the figs. Soo...cute!
Keep up the awesome videos! I look forward to purchasing cuttings from you this year! My great grandmother has had a mission type fig for over 50 years and I'm going to grab some cuttings this year. It seems like a very unique fig. Maybe I can send you some cuttings.
What a cute baby.
Beautiful.
I see you grow figs in pots. Do you bring them in during the winter?
Most leave them out long enough to go dormant then bring them into a shed etc lower temps come.
hi! can I perhaps snag pruning leftovers from you? I'm just getting in to cloning trees after moving to seattle and discovering that figs are the absolute best fruit in the world
Hi! I'm in Spokane and I just picked up an Olympian and a VDB. Thinking of planting a Florea or Desert King as well. Any recommendations? Think it can survive over here planted against a south-facing wall?
cant wait for theblack madeira
man gotta try the florea and violet
Can you please do the video how to fertilizer fig tree thank you ❤️
I give you a thumbs up because you are so handsome, oh and the video is good
I am so sad my Florea Cutting didn't make it this season.
Someone is hungry!!!😂😂😂
Hey a question, you listed VDB as one of the 5 fig trees you would keep in your garden, but you listed it very low in your scores on your website. Can I ask you why?
DKenUCLA it's a great fig just commonly found in big box stores
Where can I buy some of your cuttings? Also which variety would you recommend? I live in sunny Los Angeles California, where we get little to no rain. Thanks!
look up figaholics he's in Southern CA. My source for lots of figs
Good I live
Hi Ben. Where do you recommend to buy the Florea and Olympian Figs? I live in Texas and I am not sure where i can get these figs.
I'll should have some cuttings to sell soon
Hey Ben I have a BIG question for you.... I bought my mom a violet de Bordeaux and at first it was growing the normal hand looking leaves, but now it does look like it's growing healthy but all the leaves have changed from looking like fingered leaves to all looking like oval shaped leaves with no finger indentations on the leaves whatsoever and this has me really confused????..... Have you ever seen this? Any insight would be great because I haven't seen much researching?
I think that's normal for Violet de bordeaux. I just bought one and all the leaves were oval. However one branch started growing from the bottom and all the leaves have the typical long fingered leaves. So I have one fig tree with two different type of leaves.
Ben,
I’ve read that the Olympian will hold figs overwinter that didn’t ripen in the fall and will eventually ripen the next summer.
I’ve found that my really small figs do end up maturing and ripening (I assume as a breba) but am wondering about leaving the larger unripened figs on the tree to allow them to ripen next summer as well.
Do you have any experience seeing this happen?
Those are called holder overs. If you're lucky they will ripen. Most of the time they succumb to weather.
he wanted the big fig. lol
Thank you so much for the videos .
Priceless moment when your son notice your fig looks bigger than his ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
hi ben. in ur opinion in vdb and negrone the same and is the black madira u got from just fruits and exotics the real thing?
The jfe BM hasn't fruited yet but the leaves are very reminiscent of the bm. Compared to my other bms.
I fell asleep before your video came on. I freaked out when I heard your baby. PTSD for when my kids were young. It took me awhile to figure out where I left the baby.
Hey Ben, is the olympian a productive tree?
Yes it can be, it's quite reliable in the Seattle area.
Ben B. Seattle cool, just ordered some cuttings
You kind of skipped the flavor description on the Violette de Bourdeaux fig. Did you not like it?
I've done a couple videos on it already. =) This year it was the best it's been. Berry like with great sweetness. I have more detail on my blog seattlegardenfruit.blogspot.com/2017/08/tasting-violette-de-bordeaux-florea.html
Ah; thank you! I am on a list to purchase one of those this winter but have never tasted it, so I appreciate your review. :-D
