I planted an LSU Purple cutting just early this year and got a couple little fruits off of it already. They were small but very good despite all that. I'm excited to see if they'll get any better because they really were some standout figs, I was excited to see it in your underrated list as well. Just exploding with melons and tutti fruity spice, that is a wonderful fig for me. I prefer honey/melon/tropical (especially if they have some complexity) and "figgy"/date flavor figs more than the Berry spectrum personally.
You have to move that scarecrow around because the birds will get used to it being in that one spot and will not hesitate to test and see if it’s real.
I am a new fig owner...no crop this yr on the 3 fig trees, the white Marseilles being one, I purchased this season, but I'm hopeful from next yr based on what I've learned. I didnt understand the flavor profile of each fig depending on the color of the fig so thank you for explaining this very thoroughly.
Ross, Your video on figs for California climate was the best ever! People are looking for specific info on fig growing. I feel like the newbies need bullet point videos. There seems to be no videos on UA-cam with point given information. I think this is an opportunity that you should consider. Slow growing varieties that should be grafted to vigorous rootstock. Dwarf growing varieties The fastest growing varieties. Varieties for rootstock The biggest trees. My favorite Black Mission types My favorite Mt Edna types The best varieties for drying The most complex flavors. The most rain resistant Figs with the shortest hang time. The biggest figs. The richest figs/figs for desert Hard to graft varieties
Ross back to figs. Great video man. I bought tiger panache fig on ur taste reviews. Plant is pretty. Its young but im eager for its fruiting. Can you tell till what age it will yield fruit??
I'm going to ask before I forget, maybe you get to this...but how do you have any ripe fruit right now? Are they all breba at this time? I live in San Diego and pot planted like 13 varieties. They are all doing something different, and in the case of my VDB...nothing! Well, she was a huge stick when I got her and she has grown limbs and leaves, no figs yet. My kadota was slow to grow, then boom...leaves and all kinds of figs...they all fell off last week and new more beautiful ones are coming in now. Maybe the first ones were breba, didn't like what was going on, and now I'm getting main crop? IDK. Peter's honey is taking forever to ripen, but he has like 10 figs on him. He looks great. My brown turkey (although super generic and I hesitated to buy him) has some huge green figs on it right now...they look like they are getting some color today! Who knew. It's my best one so far! I'll keep waiting!!
Hey Ross I have a couple fig trees in the ground in the same climate as you . I’m in Glenside pa . I have a nice main crop and want to know you opinion if I should pinch the branches again or prune branches with out figs to help the main crop become ripe faster. Or is it too early and I’m just being impatient ?
Hahaha Ross can't believe that comment you made about the lighter one being more suited for women and the darker, more rugged one for men 🤪🤪. Probably be arrested here for saying something potentially sexist like that in a public video 😲😲
@Julian Hernandez yes not acting like all these right wing wackos is normal doesn't mean I watch CNN don't lump me in that group I don't watch television. 99% of political terrorists in America are right wing
GINZY, i hope this is not a reference to a ginzo , a slang for italian. I must admit he does look a little like the old italian man that lived up the street from me when i was little. Funny how we can make fun of italians but not about anybody else,or we are called racist! Good video figs look great.
That valley collder fig tree was just stunningly beautiful fig with that red blush on the end.😎🏆♥️

Greenhouse and also very early genetics.
Hey how can I get those two varieties am from the Caribbean
Prefer dark but open to try a light fig.
Just need to know which one would work for Denver short season zone 6 a.
Fig for men and Figs for women? Realy? Other than that, I enjoyed the video :)

I'm a female and i prefer the honey figs... only because i got tired of eating the dark ones Haha. But i like the texture of the honey figs more
Ross when you put 4 trees in a pot or in the ground what mix do you use light & drark or by harvest time
Do you wrap the fig trees in the ground?
No. This year I'll be chopping them back and covering.

@Julian Hernandez at least their not instigating terrorists and hate crimes
@Julian Hernandez yes not acting like all these right wing wackos is normal doesn't mean I watch CNN don't lump me in that group I don't watch television.

I don't think he meant anything by it, but it was an odd observation.
Women and men?what are they??they don't exist...its all in the mind, maybe if you like dark figs and you are woman,you are really a man.
Hey that sort of sound like the stat that 98% of all statics are made up...
Hey! Your fig trees are great!!! Do you sell them? I love to buy some from you, please let me know.
He sells them on fig bid
