Planting cold hardy Fig Trees in ground zone 6b at Figgy Pop Farms
Вставка

- 18 cold hardy fig trees started from cuttings are being planted in ground at Alvey Gardens/Figgy Pops farms. I chose this spot because it was against a block wall because it holds heat and will help create a more suitable microclimate for the fig trees.
I go over how I choose the trees, the location, how the holes are dug, what amendments I use. and All the varieties I planted.
Enjoyed the video. Good luck with your trees
You are going to have a lot of success!!!!! Years of enjoyment and entertainment!. While you were explaining it my wife says.... We understand, we understand!!!
Thankyou! I appreciate the feedback.
Great line up thanks for sharing can't wait to see updates
More to come!
Greetings fellow earthling
Looks like a great microclimate. I hope that is the south side of the wall. Good planting. Now, mulch!
I really should have explained that. Yes, It is south facing. And receives a full day of sun. And I just mulched in with cardboard and about 12" of MULCH just the other day
Fig roots will go out about 40 feet from the tree, putting all the goods in the hole will definitely keep the roots from leaving home for sure. it's better to just top dress the land around your trees, 5-10 feet away from the hole.
Which I will do. But I HAVE to work the soil heavily. It isn't soil. It was all removed years ago when the plot was leveled there used to be a mobile home park here and had several inches of rock covering the entire park. . So, I work it and amend it.
Then also top dress. Then cover 12" deep with leaves. and finally a heavy layer of mulch.
You planted these from cuttings? Where did you get the cuttings?
We buy from alot of sources.
But www.offthebeatenpathnursery.com carries alot of cold hardy varieties since they are also growing in zone 6B.
