@@xaviercruz4763 - I think all the Mt. Etnas are basically the same. Many people have one that they like the best. It could be that they have a strong tree in an ideal location. Azores Dark was sold at a major premium due to simple marketing. Many people say many figs are black Madeira types and they are most definitely not. So much misinformation out there!

@@xaviercruz4763 - I have gifted around 30 cuttings to friends. Unfortunately, that is all I’m taking this year.

@@tiger1554 Good point!

The difference is that a drainage ditch in CA is much drier than in the Willamette Valley. I noticed hundreds of seedlings when I hunted for wild figs near Oroville, CA. Our wet season is much longer than most of CA. The deer and figs were down at the drainage as we hunted in the 100F heat. It looked like typical desert as we hiked out. Look at the wildfires in LA right now. Those canyons are loaded with seedlings. You see how dry it is there? Fig trees need the extra water from drainages down there. The roots are not totally saturated for long down there. Not so much in the Willamette Valley! The two words I constantly repeat regarding growing figs are, “Location Specific”. I’m hoping others with more visibility start repeating these two words! Prayers go out to those affected by the wildfires in LA. 😢

I think your term waterlogged is spot on. I also like your theory about root proximity to a water source. Great thoughts. I appreciate your input!

I have a few varieties that I am trying to get more established before gifting cuttings.

@@C3Voyage - I just gifted all my cuttings for the year to friends.

I do not. Harvey will be selling cuttings very soon. His business is called Figaholics.

@@LubyBendily 18’ between both the plants and the rows.

@@elihart5951 Yes I think you need Borda Barraquer as well. It is different than Calderona. This tasting it tasted similar. Who knows, it could be different next year.

@@jackhart1883 - The eye is tiny. Good candidate for wet climates!

@ that’s what I’m in need of. N.FL now all I have to do is find the cuttings. Thank you and Happy New Year Chris

@@telasims233 The mention of 9/11 is still difficult for me to this date! So many innocent people died and so many fantastic first responders made me proud - never forget! I have tears in my eyes as I write this. 😢

@oregonfigs3314 we'll NEVER forget, but, just seeing a perfectly ripened fig. In the winter is a sign that we can't live our lives hating the day.. there's beauty in every day..

Thanks for the kind words. I love growing figs!

@@figsandchocolate5553 IKR, and it's so pretty out there . Combine that with the knowledge he shares, it's one of my favorite channels..

@@figsandchocolate5553 - Another show-stopper from MP!

Any of yall sell cuttings this?

@figsandchocolate5553 what season do you consider this fig in TN. What's your zone?

@@NavyDoc0884 - I put it in ground for potential Brebas. Much too late for main crop in ground! I really like the taste of the Brebas. We don’t know if it will be a PROLIFIC Breba crop yet. There are at least three of us with I258 planted in ground in the Willamette Valley. We will either all be happy or…. If it doesn’t work in ground for Brebas, I will pull it.

I think part of the problem is the limited initial release of this fig coupled with a mixup from the original seller. I was lucky enough to get the real version. My tree has grown slowly and cutting it at this point would not be a good idea. I hope to share it in the future and have several requests for cuttings when that time comes.

@@Athabina - Thank you John. Victoria is a very special place in the PNW - beautiful!🤩

@@margaretmarshall3645 - That is Ian who is located up in the Portland area. He also supplies trees for One Green World. I like his name though 😁

@ Oh, I see. Thanks for the quick reply-and for NOT holding out on us. 😉 Now we just have to persuade HIM to start an OREGON POMEGRANATES AND FIGS RUclips channel!

@@margaretmarshall3645 That would be cool.

@@margaretmarshall3645 - I think they are so close that it does not matter which one you get. They both fight FMV in my yard!

@@geriannroth449 - Very little transfer shock if you do this before bud break in the early spring.

@@geriannroth449 - If I sell early next year, it will probably be on the Facebook group called USA Fig Sales & Swaps.

@@oregonfigs3314 fabulous

@@jonahschmidt5117 - This one got a three week head start in a pop up greenhouse. I never extend the season in the fall as I would rather have figs before it gets colder.

@@C3Voyage Still a young tree - it should get better!

@@Memyselfandionyoutube - Not very productive for me. I have a difficult time getting a significant main crop on most lates. This would work best in a Zone 9 or above.

@@jonahschmidt5117 - These lates were all grown in 15G pots. I do not manipulate the trees at the end of the season. I’ve been growing for here for eight years and I do not have the energy to try to extend the season. As my buddy Eric says, the lates are no more than a novelty for us”. His RUclips channel is Loftinart. I am trying to get my 15G pot total down to 20 (eventually 15). I have done well with potted lates grown in a favorable microclimate. My real excitement is with my orchard trials. I’m doing something that has not been reported on here and believe I have an obligation to spread the truth. Hopefully, this helps many focus on what makes sense here.

Thank you George. I think I should discover several varieties that people do not typically associate with the Willamette Valley. Hopefully, I have opened eyes about Campaniere, LDA, Brown Sugar Crunch and Biffaro Zeus in ground here. I have so many new Breba trees planted that I’m really excited about. Always appreciate your feedback!

I was looking forward to that LAST fig? They looked SO AMAZING, think about it, he could have easily lied and said, they were SO sweet, I would have totally believe it... I really enjoyed the season. ❤

@@ZhangSailei - Tons of main crop figs that ripened too late. It went in ground for Breba crop. So far I have not had any Brebas either. I will get a few more years in ground as the Breba crop can take a few years.

@@oregonfigs3314 thank you Chris for the info! For my limited space, I think it will stay in pot 😅

@@ZhangSailei - Keep it in a pot!

@@Scott-hl7om Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate your input!

I believe it is four. It was tiny when my son gifted it to me for Father’s Day - cool gift!

@@HMC5381 Mario’s Oregon #2 is Stella.

@@oregonfigs3314 thank you

I don’t hold back lol. Wait until you see the vid I made yesterday. I will try to upload soon.

@@10putty Are they ever heavy drinkers. That is incredible growth - well done!

My Prok died. My Nikita’s Gift has a few waiting to be picked. I will plant a Sajo that I have in 7G soon. Thanks for your comments!

@@oregonfigs3314 I got about ten persimmons this spring planted and one of them was a 7G Sajio that I got from starks bro. Thats funny. Only one didn't make it, I planted a Morris Burton for wildlife and had bad luck with it.

@@10putty - I’m going to overwinter my Sajo in my garage. Goes in ground next spring

@@oregonfigs3314 I bought 6 grafted seedlings from NeedMoreTrees that I felt were too small to plant, so they are going in the garage this winter, too. Hopefully, we'll have good luck.

@@10putty I was gifted my Sajo from a good friend. Excited to get in the ground!

@@unknownname8328 - One Green World, Raintree and scions purchased from Figbid. I purchased four small seedlings from Danny the owner of Figbid. Danny is a super nice guy and his seedlings are reasonably priced.

I am lucky enough to have a good friend in Missouri that sends me wonderful pawpaws every year. They are delicious! I can’t wait for my trees to start producing significant numbers of fruit.

@@PeterEntwistle - They are fun to grow!

Finally old blue gets some truck props! 😁

We just got back from a nice walk to the lake. Campground is closed now and we have it to ourselves.

I am so glad you enjoyed the walk!

This is the first year that I have been figged out. It has been a spectacular year for growing figs in the Willamette Valley! Hope you get many tasty figs as you dial things in. You have a drastically different set of variables now that you are in Tennessee!

I hope you enjoyed the visit with me. I try to make my videos feel like we are walking together and maybe offer a peaceful respite from a world that is moving too fast at times?

@@oregonfigs3314 I am. Greetings from Norway. 🤓

The turkeys have had their fill and are still around at this point. Your Thanksgiving dinner comment made me chuckle. Most of my trees are very young and won’t be trimmed for three more years. I could do a video on my small group of trees that I planted several years ago.
