3rd year tree? nah it's done. You have more patience than most of us, It'd get no mercy from me if it's still producing meh fruit after 3 years.

Got one that is almost a year old. It is still loaded with fruit. I managed to try one but I think it was too early. Beautiful tree

Spectacular!

wow 37*F, we're still hitting 81*F today. Those CLBCs sure do look perfect. I knew they were a top fig but WOW.

Lovely fig

I have a very mature tree. And I got my figs off of it probably starting three weeks ago all the way up to about about a week and a half ago ago. So hopefully as your tree matures, you will get more figs earlier for a better ripening. 😊🪴

They do seem so thick and sweet like candy! Drool . . . again!! Well done :-) I love diatomaceous earth so much!! Hope it works for you!

Thank you so much for posting! I'm curious what agricultural zone are you in? All my fig trees have almost lost their leaves!

Hi, Nice video and setup. I am a fellow fruit and fig grower from Connecticut. I have RLBV, RDB and Adriatic JH in the ground for three years now. I cover them every winter, after pruning them to 4’ high. One important thing to do is to have a strategy for voles, mice or rats. I put a bowl of moth balls under the cover, which keeps rodents away. My trees produce very well for me, the first two ripening most of their crop, but AJH ripens a quarter at best. Where did you buy the GH from? How much did it cost to purchase and construct?

Did you take a water meter and stick it in the ground before you watered that tree on Friday? If you didn't, you overwatered it on Friday and that is what caused it to split. I always use a water meter whether my fig trees are in the ground or in a container each and every time no matter how many days go by. If they are in containers I stick the meter in the top, then stick it through the holes on the bottom just to double check. I have been growing fig trees for over 40 years and learned through my mistakes.

Hahaha, I expected you to say WOW! 😂

Thank you for the cutting! I can't wait to get it growing. I have had over 40 different varieties over many years and never though about this one. The CLBC looks like a winner also in the video where you and your mom are having a taste test. Happy that I bought that one from you also! Did you get any figs ripen the first year with your MIB?

I have decided that next year I will be planting 5 of my fig trees in ground. CH, Bethlehem Black, Brown Turkey, unknown, I-258. Might plant one in my greenhouse. But not sure about that yet. Still having figs here. Was nice to have that warm up again.

I would love to know your top 5 of the year after all the harvest is done this year!

TEXAS PEACH 🍑 FIG 👀👀👀 OMG 😱!!! Now I have to find one of those to add to my collection. -Calvin

poor zaffiro got left out

Where can I acquire a cutting? Also, will you ship to FL?

👏👏👏

LOL, bummer it was not up to your standards🤗 I think your thoughts are correct and it is going to give you better tasting fruit next season.

Hi there, Texas upper hill country here and suddenly fig obsessed. I guess I’m super lucky with climate. I’ve collected 7 varieties and trying to root 6-7 more. Rooting has proved to be a high learning curve. I will get there! I have 7 acres separate from total 44 acres. Trying to get a good forest going, but figs are my favorite! Let’s do this! Keep going! Do the solar greenhouse! Keep those roots alive!

Alma or Holly smoke

I'll need to trade something for one of those

Nice video

Looks delicious

Mine didn't taste like peaches either? But, mines first year, maybe in further years..

I'm looking for some Olympian fig cutting just wondering if you have any

Wow I can’t wait to see how they do that close to the water

I want to give some feedback on Corky’s. I’m growing Corky’s for 6 years. 3 years in CA and 3 outside of CA. In CA it was one of my favorite figs so I planted the tree in ground in my new location. Since leaving CA the tree dropped most of is main crop. The few that didn’t weren’t worth eating. While the tree produced 40 okay Brebas this year I’m going to dig out the tree this winter. So unless you are interested keeping the tree for Brebas I would cull it.

Good compare all good varieties

😮

Great video very informative!

Hi, thanks for the video. I replicated your set up and even ordered the same filter from the States as I’m in the UK. Question if that’s ok, is any part of your pipe system horizontal at all and roughly how long is the pipe you used? I set mine up with the filter in a pond and the pipe running up a 45 degree bank but it stopped pumping when the water reached the near horizontal section of the pipe. I’ve altered it so it’s always at an angle but it still only pumps about 75% of the way along the pipe then the pump goes slack. It’s roughly 8m of pipe currently so maybe too long. Any thoughts?

Figs are close to mulberry in flavor

I’m going for the CLBC this year

Looks SO good

Do you sell cuttings of MIB?

Still pushing out high quality figs!!!!❤

Between Socorro black and spadafora dark which would you prefer? Looking to buy some of your cuttings.

What do you prefer if any: the plastic pots or the fabric pots for your fig trees?

I wonder if you put a makeshift greenhouse over it in early spring if it would give it a jump start. Like put rebar in the ground now. Then in spring use pvc pipe to make hoops. Then greenhouse fabric on top. I’m thinking of doing this with my one of my fig trees this fall. Or next spring plant it.

I have one fig that turned into being a english brown turkey type who has very similar leaves to my olympian. My olympian produced its first figs, they dont form well, the bottom gets red orange when fully ripe the rest remin juicy white but it taste exactly the same as my EBT, but the the EBT forms correctly and the inside is all amber/orange, its juicier more like honey vs olympian more sugary. Im keeping the EBT because it my mother’s first fig tree, that never gave fruit til i learned figs last winter, so it gave its first figs, 40-50 of them.

These are the only ones that ripened for me in Northern NJ. I love them

I have one had a ton of growth not many figs though. Great video

I live in WNY and would love to grow figs! Which fig would you suggest for my region and flavor? Have a great day!

This is great. What part of the country are you in? (Sorry if you already mentioned it.) P.S. Last year I cut my trees a bit back and piled wood chip mulch on them for protection, and it worked PERFECTLY. Same climate zone as you. I'm in the Denver area. Did a video on it. Hope you have a similar experience with the leaves.

My Chicago Hardy figs were not as good as previous years. They seemed to not want to ripen all the way. Which usually they’re pretty early.

Yummy 😋 YLN so big fig

I am jealous, i have had my tree 2 years and zero figs 😢

I’m grateful I’m not the only crazy one growing figs in zone 6b!! 🤣😂🤣 I have 17!!!

I love your video!! I live in zone 6b. Do you cover them in the Winter? Can you pls make a video before the Winter to show us how you protect them?!! Blessings from Kentucky!! 🙌🏻🦋🙏🏻
