Tony, Ficus dammaropsis, dinner plate fig tree

Tony is teaching us all about this fig tree, 𝘍𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘴𝘪𝘴. This dinner plate fig tree produces the biggest figs out of any other species in the world! Tony has so many great facts about this tree as well as helpful information on growing and taking care of your own.

For those of you trying to propagate this plant, just know that all of the cutting of the cambium layer is not necessary, nor is rooting hormone. The key factors are warmth, time, and most importantly a large rootball. Notice that Tony has a pretty big bag of moss. That's crucial to success. Those little plastic balls that you snap on the stem to do a traditional air layering will not work with this species. If you can rig up a 5 gallon pot and cut a slit/hole in the side and run the branch through a pot then you'll get an entire pot full of roots before making the final cut and that's where you start to get very high success rates. Good luck.

Thank you for posting, very informative and well done. In five months will you post the next step of getting it potted up?

I agree, also when you go to check to water or any kind of maintenance. Thank for sharing all the knowledge and experience.

Hello my friend, I live in France. Do you own a company that sells seedlings on the Internet? Do you export to France?

That was a great video. I'm going to have a go with my Dammaropsis. Do you have an update video yet?
