Big thanks for this video Ross! There's not much information out there about this variety, and the only info I have found is either "eh, they're tissue cultures" or "don't bother". Glad to see you like this one. I also don't think it's patented btw
Is there any way I could send you a cutting a fig tree that has been in my family for over 100 years? My great grandmother brought a cutting to her new house from the one she lived at back in the 1920s.
Wow - great to see high quality figs in Philly. I could have taken advantage of a few many years ago - with my krimpets. I too have a Little Ruby out west - but after three years in (terrible, a low sun location) still no fruit. I will get that potted fig into a better location and see what happens next year. I can concur that all my citrus and figs taste better from a in-ground plantings. And, the older the tree, the better the quality of the fruit. Fig-on....
Hey Ross- I have a friend who is sending me several greenhouse grown figs that are 6ft to 7ft tall single stem. I will grow them outdoors in pots and want to build a nice scaffold. How should I go about achieving this? Cut them down after they root during dormancy this winter? I am in zone 9 Phoenix. Advice?
Good stuff thanks for the updates keep it coming. Just realized you look like Topher Grace as I’m watching Spider-Man 3 haha 🤣 just thought I’d mention that. All the best bro.
Little miss figgy seems to be proving to be truly dwarfing for me.

I’ll have to pick up some cuttings for next year. Hardy Chicago types have been great in ground here in Michigan (6a).
I think the hardiness also stems from the fact that it is dwarfed. Because it grows less, the new growth that it has lignifies properly

My little ruby are not ready to be picked yet and I am only like 50 miles from you. Although, its my first year in the ground with them.
i appreciate what you do

Is there a way to kill all the ants that try to come into you’re garden with out hurting you’re plants
Ants 🐜 are part of gardening and can keep other bugs away, maybe try some oil like neem? I flood the ants out of pots or beds when they get too thick.

You got me regretting ripping my LR out of the ground.
It's proven to be a nice choice, Lance. I wouldn't sweat it though.
