    Beautiful tree. I love the branch training using PVC. Great to see another local fig grower 👍

    For us new comers, you didn’t explain why you’re cutting off the figlets. Also, I like how you train your trees to branch off horizontally. Do you have a video explaining and show how you’ve done it?

      The video is called Espalier training. I cut the figlets so all the energy go into building a stronger single trunk.

      Thanks for supporting the channel! I got the IC from a guy named Seth. He has a UA-cam channel called OHfigs. If my air layers take, I won’t have cuttings, if not, then I will. I put them on very late.

      @@basementfigs not really lol. I have 4 years but only with Chicago Hardy and last year and this year started with more different variety.

    The wire on the black zadar looks like its cutting into the tree. You can use tomato tape (green stretchy tape) instead.

      Good looking out! I saw it when I was editing and fixed it.

    Great job! Espalier is impressive, what’s your favorite fig?

      Best tasting so far has been I-258. I’m impressed with the improved Celeste. The quantity added with taste is a keeper for me.

  • @ashtanga2000

    Good looking trees. You might want to clean those snips between trees so you don’t spread disease. Or just twist those figlets off with your fingers.

    • @basementfigs

      Haha I knew someone was gonna call me out on my dirty snips!

    All the little figlets will not make it because they need 90 days to ripe.
