In talking to Brian about this he does not think this is a seedling tree but was planted by someone there. The home is 9 years old and most seedling trees I find are in older places where the landscape isn't as well maintained (fig seedlings are just another weed! LOL)
Thank you for all that you do to help educate us about these figs. Your videos are very informative and you always share such candid reviews both here and on Ourfigs. Appreciate all that you do!
Im growing about 30 different varieties of figs in the Philippines. All trees are in ground. They are night and day from growing them in NY. Fig trees that have never produced in NY are doing it here. My most productive tree is a Kadota. It is sweeter than any fig I have ever produced in NY. I have it in ground for about almost 2 years. The tree is over 10ft tall. For the last year its has been producing nonstop. The figs are produced in clusters and I have less foliage than my trees in NY. There are more figs than leaves on all my trees. I am not sure if that has to do with me not feeding them any chemical fertilizer. Every day it has aleast 10 ripe figs. Imagine a tree less than 3 years loaded with 300 figs plus not being feed any fertilizer. I also never had any split figs. It rains alot here also. When it rains on my farm it gets really muddy.
Another unknown consideration for Brian and a few others in CA who search for these great seedlings is the countless...probably hundreds of of "worthless" seedlings that they run across every year that takes time and patience to monitor, which is usually YEARS to find out if it's even an edible, much less good one...or much more so a great one! These don't just pop up in the cracks of the driveway every year. It takes a passion that I appreciate. Looking forward to trying this one myself!
That sounds promising. Since it is a new seedling, I assume we do not know if it is parthenocarpic. I’d be happy to trail a cutting down here in NC to see if it is common or not.
EXCITING A NEW FIG. i will have fun watching this one over the next few years. if anyone has the space why not plant some of these seeds out in the cali area. dont let nature do everything, help it along. there are few areas lucky enough to get viable seed. i wish i was in an area like that. the fig community is getting larger every day. im glad ross and a few others have took it upon themselves to preserve some genetics. i hope to see more group projects for the community develop in the future.
another great fig tasting video Ross, Kudos! so glad to got my rooted cutting from Brian yesterday and tasted this fig yesterday. can you post the link of your other video on this other fig you mentioned please, I can not find it, thanks
Man, I'll have to visit your friend in Fresno next time I go back home (from the central valley). It's funny, I remember eating figs as a kid, and not liking them. My mom's neighbor has a beautiful tree, that now as an adult I look forward to eating the figs from. It is a dark, wonderful, fig. Again, in the central valley...we have the wasp. I don't know if her variety needs it, but I do recall the small amount of seeds being crunchy. Telltale sign. Anyway, enjoy and I hope your cuttings work out!
Just an update to the video.. Brian has corrected me and Burgan Unk is not a seedling.

Figaholics for sure another weed is correct, I found a fig tree on the side of a freeway. With fruit on it already.
Cuttings were $35 now after this will be $350. If your not from California don’t expect the results to be the same like Ross said.
hype building. These cuttings sold for under $20 last winter, no way are they worth more now just because they are hyping it up.
Stela you say this now lol you watch...
@@stelag9215 what did they sell for December of 2020?

Ross, do you have an update on this tree in your climate? Thank you in advance.
You’re awesome Ross thank you for all your advice and experience on figs ❤

What varieties do well in the p.I? I’m interested in growing there.. I’m in California.. I have quite a few in my collection

Figaholics is definitely helping to preserve and disperse the best varieties!

One of my most delicious figs.

do you grow that or did brian mail some to try to eat? does it have to have the wasp i am east of you in Pa.thanks
I hope is good like you said. I have 4 small trees but!!!
Is there a way to get a cutting from this Fig tree?
Yeah. I'll have plenty for sale in November.
So he has already tested if it is common? Has somebody grown it outside of California?
I don't know the details on that, but apparently he has tested it.
Thanks for the video! Now I wanna eat a fig lol

That is great that you are working to keep special fig genetics going, I would love to do that one day.
I still think this is going to be a hit on figbid lol IF he puts cuttings on there.... I HOPE he does :-)
He has put cuttings up on the bid, I lost an auction on’em.
Ya this year it’s gonna be harder to get them after all these awesome reviews ☹️
