early ,mid season or late ripening is what i need to ask?

It's got preto in the name because that means black/dark in Portuguese

Externally, the similarity with the Spanish Mission (Albacor) and the French Mission (Noire de Caromb) is 100%. The difference is only visible when you cut the fruit and see the color of the pulp. I'm sorry I can't taste the fruit and see if there's a difference in taste.

Hey Dan, you know back in the day around 15 years ago, I use to make my own potting mix. When I did, I got the largest crop every year. As my collection grew over time, I started cheating and buy the packaged stuff--but mixing them all together. What I learned is, they grow so much healthier when you make your own. Back then, I had around a thousand fig trees and 5 separate irrigation lines across an acre of my property. Today, I am older and reduced my collection a whole lot. I've decided to make my own again this Fall. I found a recipe in an old book that's pretty close to yours. I do add perlite and lime in my recipe and bunny poop. I get bunny poop from rabbit breeders and set it out covered and let it decompose for about 2 years. I add that to my mix. The night crawlers love that stuff! I like your videos! Your photos onlne are impressive. Keep up the good work!

Hey there!!! Because you live in Michigan where it's a little colder do you take your figs indoors in winter? I'm in Kentucky and I'd love to have maybe 3 or 4 fig trees. I just purchased 1 Chicago fig tree at Lowes. I'd love some fig tree recommendations. Ideally if like something I can leave outdoors all winter 6a-7a zone. Also do you sell clippings? Wondering if I can root something over winter and plant it early spring. Thanks!!!!!

May I ask where in Michigan you are located?

Thanks for sharing, wish you a lot of success at new place. Nice to see you all, but where is Zeppelin? You need a fig guardian.

Thanks for sharing Dan.

Great Informative video Dan

You are a gem, Dan. Thank you!

Wait untill u see Malaysia figs tree cuz the leaves are like Jurassic age of sizes..ha4..Peace!

I'll visit you this time next year to try all your figs varieties

Thanks for the show in tell. Nice fig tree. It’s been a great fig season so far this year for me. 🪴🏡

Man i can tell you are approaching the tip of the spear with figs…keep going, and continue to share-thank you! Love the music-my favorite!

Omg i just found the fig i think i have. I bought cuttings under the name of longue de aout. One is a true LDA the other idnt and has big 5 lobe leaves. The figs rippen very quickly, 4 days and they get unevenly soft and some spots look more ripe some less. My fig matches this unknown variety almost perfectly. The the neck region falls apart very Easily. You can feel the pulp separating from the neck when you squeeze it to see if its ripe or not. Idk about its rain resistance because its ripening in dry weather right now, but i dont think it will do good because of how soft the skin is, tight eye however, but idk if ima keep it. I dont have much space. Green fig and hardly swells when it starts ripening. Very healthy tree also and very productive. 1 yr old with 40 figs or so

Very nice.

Looks delicious. And love how healthy the leaves are on those plants. Hint of berry along with the intense hone flavor sounds interesting.

I need me some of those figs!!!

I’m getting ripe Pawpaw right now. But the ripening time usually lasts 3-4 wks. Chestnuts are last week of September or so. So your timing is good.

I am originally only 20 min from Owosso Mi. Could you share what time of year paw paws are ripe? Also what time of year chestnuts are ripe. I’m writing this 9/11/24 I plan on going home for a visit in the next few weeks and would like to plan my trip to coincide. In addition what should I expect to pay per lb for paw paws and chestnut varieties. Thank you so much in advance. much appreciated Laurel L

You have plant for sale.Thanks

I have a smaller dolly I use...UNLESS my husband is around to carry them. :)

Dan...In your 6b zone, would it survive your winter if it were planted in the ground and protected with burlap?

great job Dan; how long do you keep them in those small pots? John in Victoria, BC

Love the new Blue Fig Fruit farm! ❤ can’t wait to see it up and running in full swing!!

Hi Dan. I love. Your Garden. What material are those large pots you have the figs in?

You make great videos.

Interesting display of success. Enjoyed your operation👍

I have one of those yellow PH meters. Was thinking I needed a special soil PH meter. Good seeing how you used it and good knowing I can use what I have. What was the PH of the water reading? Thanks for sharing.

I can’t wait till I have “extra” figs. That’s a foreign concept to me still

What do these figs taste like?

Definitely helpful air layering video.Im going to try your method on my Violette de Bordeaux before August here in east Tennessee.Wish me luck.Thanks !

Don you ever get mold with all that humidity? Or do you put hydrogen peroxide in your spray?

Mike Kincaid turned me on to your green cuttings propogation. Thanks so much Dan, for sharing this new (to me) technique. 3 yrs later but still so impactful for anyone, especially newbies like me. This opens up possibilites for me since I just realized I might have gotten two figs that probalby came from tissue culture and they're all leggy with new stems coming out all over the place. This makes me feel better knowing that all the new and slender growth can be used. I understand that the cutting will not produce the spidery growth pattern of the parent plant. So it's not a loss since TC plants will be my prolific mother plants.

I just rooted this variety less than 6 months and it has figs already.

I'm looking forward to taste this fig next year. Dan just replace my dead Harry's Crete tree. Thank you Dan. New subscriber.

What is the reason for leaving a leaf on? Is it necessary? I thought it would dry out the cutting faster.

Can you say sugar? 😂

What do you do with all of the figs that ripen?

Which do you prefer, or had better luck with the rock wool blocks or the Root riot? I had seen these videos months ago and early winter I did 5 very small cuttings in some old rooting blocks I had and 4 of them got roots very fast, I was impressed. Today, all those plants are bigger than the mother trees are. Im going to be topping several of my trees this week and have both the rock wool and root riot..... what say you?

Hi my friend can I get a cutting from this beautiful fig tree

Hi friend can I get cut fr9m this beautiful fig

Thank you!!

Hi Dan, thanks for the great video! Where did you get those 26 inch pots? They look pretty sturdy and nice looking as well!

I'm kind of confused as Ross the Fig Boss said there was some very notable complex berry flavor.

Sounds like a keeper

Nice info.

Both of those gardeners should do tours periodically!

Good 👍
