Your trees are beautiful and large. Mine are all much smaller. I started a grow room a couple of weeks after I saw your channel. I am very excited to have my first breba fig, unfortunately it is on a Chicago Hardy and I do not know if it will stay or drop. I have to let it try since it is my first fig. :) I am still struggling very much to control the fungus gnats. I have traps out, I need to add more. I have been trying neem cake leachate, BT and copper with permethrin spray. I'm going to have to sand mulch all my trees and get the drainage holes covered.
I am not selling any cuttings currently, my growing operations will be based more on selling rooted cuttings and mature plants. This year I will hopefully have an opportunity to taste and confirm majority of my varieties, than I could try to make a partial list on favorites. Next season I will have twenty plus new varieties to taste, so the list could change.
Maybe, as part of your experiment, you could move just a few of your trees back indoors late in the season to further extend your ripening time, and see what happens. Will you eventually have to move all of your trees indoors for the winter at some point anyway? I have used Surround during the summer when it gets hot and strong sun, which helped my fig trees, but was not very effective for my avocado trees, for which I had to use shade cloth. By the way, your trees are looking really good. Thanks for the video
I am hoping that all of my trees will have enough time to ripen completely outdoors, even with less than optimal sun exposure. If I have to, bringing them indoors is possible, but I will have to take them outside again so they can enter dormancy, and that is what I am trying to avoid. Caring them upstairs and downstairs is heavy work, I don't enjoy that part.
Ooo I love tin!!!! Figs are the best!
I agree ;)
Trees look beautiful ❤❤
Thanks!

Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your experiences growing this fruit. Do you sell cuttings? I am also interested in the varieties you value most and why.

@@backyardfigs I forgot about the dormancy part. Good Point!! Moving those pots looks like a lot of work. Hope you use a moving dolly of some sort.
