Hi Ross. I'm following your instruction to put a question on your most recent video but it will be off topic therefore. I sent you some images in another location. I'm wondering if you might be willing to answer a question for me? I'm new to figs (been a grower most of my life). I have a 2 or older year old VdB that came out of dormancy early (I left light coming in a north window). So now I have this crazy growing fig with 11 breba that dropped 2 so far. I moved it to a Southwestern window and put a grow light on it and recently fertilized with bloom booster (first mild one then the next week a stronger one) to try to keep the Breba. I know nothing about keeping breba, or pruning to encourage main crop and maybe giving up the breba, etc. I'm turning the grow light off earlier because it looks like some breba are a little dry. I just watered more the other day. Leaves are getting stronger but some still thin and huge. I have no idea how to 'read' this plant, lol. Should I twist off the smaller breba and try to keep one or two larger ones only? And it smells like pee (ugh) as the previous owner used some rabbit poop. hahaha. Pics attached. THANK YOU SO MUCH Ross. I am getting some more figs and cuttings from you hopefully in Dec. so this is my first learning curve.
Despite how large my collection has already gotten theses last couple years I still have to get all of the varieties in this video some day
Really cool, I'm trying to collect some cuttings of good varieties that grow almost wild or in abadoned yards here in northern Italy
Excellent information thank you 👍🏻
Great video

I gave away all my fig trees and moved to Florida
Old is new again.
I have a fig question...I have a fig that broke dormancy in my basement under grow lights...should I harden it off before I leave it outside?
Absolutely. Especially to light.
@@RossRaddi..Thanks brother!
Ross, Giacomo is pronounced something like JOCK-uh-mo not GEE-uh-CO-mo
The only guy I know named Giacomo, born in Sicily - he pronounces his name Gee-ah-ko-mo. Jack for short. 😉
