You can't overwater by amount in pots, you can overwater by frequency. More so when your potting soil holds too much moisture.
@@Pepperheads Thank you for your very valid point I completely agree. Thank you for watching.
I'm confused? It says in your header that this is a bordeaux berry fig, yet in one of your other videos you say that it is a honey fig. Which is it?
Hi thank you for watching. It’s a berry fig I had made that mistake in my first video and corrected in the comments. It is a berry fig. Thank you
Is the yellow long neck co/ld hardy enough that you can plant this variety in the ground in zone 5?
Hi it’s good for zone 7-10 But zone five is tough one. I would only do a Chicago Hardy in ground in that zone. Thanks for watching
I bought a petite negra fig cutting. Im just waiting for it to arrive so i can start trying to grow it
@@michaelhalicki7732 you are going to love it. Every branch at least 5 to ten figs when it gets older. Plus they taste delicious. Congrats Good luck and happy growing sir
@FigMadeira thanks I'm looking forward to it
Love your orchard my friend 👏
@@LeeNguyen3839 thank you so much appreciate you watching
Bravo! 👍👍
QC Tropicals channel agrees that in heat it's better to overwater as long as you have well draining soil. This is because youtr fruit tree will die within hours if very dry in extreme heat while it would take weeks to damage your tree by overwatering. It's my first year growing fig trees in the arid southwest Texas heat (95°F+), and I had to really up the watering frequency to prevent drooping and dry leaves.
@@3moirai Thank you for watching and I wish you all the best growing fig tree I think it will be very rewarding.

I'm a beginner, just retired. I love fig products, so I'm wanting a fig tree. I live upstate S.C I'm wondering if you have tried wicking buckets ?
Not yet! I will have to look into those
Awesome!
Great video do you sale cuttings at the end of the growing season
I don't I only sell grown trees when I have too many and locally. Thank you for your support!
Before I bought a timer, I accidentally left my high flow drip irrigation running for 6+ hrs a couple of months ago, and I panicked. My figs trees actually loved it and more fruit formed. Don’t be afraid to water (obviously not that long though).
@@Stangy04 I agree everyone wants to make growing figs a science,it’s actually not that hard. Thank you for your comments and support.
I think I'm going to do drip irrigation too.
@@FigMadeira No problem, and exactly! I tend to over-think everything, so watering use to be a concern for me.
@@bringit3164 you won’t regret it!
Heck yeah great video. Here in Dallas with it reaching over 100 pretty much daily, I have to water many times a day. The trees start to sag if I do not
I agree 100% but I would fertilize more often.
I agree Petar thank you for watching
Petite Negra is on my list of new acquisitions now, thanks. I will look out for your Negronne taste test. ❤
Try to find a way to go both hands-free. Good info. Nothing personal but when I see someone struggling with one hand, I scroll on. Hopefully constructive criticism.
@@scottgilliamprettysureihea3757 Thank you for your feedback it’s very constructive and helpful I will attempt to do that thank you for watching appreciate it.
Which one is earlier for you?
Always the Petite Negra rippens first. Right now for example the beers black has one figs due to bad weather and the petite Negra has six to ten on each branch even after an aggressive root pruning last year.All of them will rippen first.
@@FigMadeira isn’t easy to find a honest nursery they sell you a cat and tale you it’s a rabbit I wish you could share me a rooted tree

You are far away let me see if I can find local supplier to recommend
Which one is earlier for you
So you don’t wait till you see long roots forming before adding it to soil? I guess it is less of a shock for the roots doing it at that moment.
Hi Adam that’s right I wait till the nodes are white and plump and then I put in miracle grow potting soil but saturate the soil so it hugs the cutting and your set to go just water lightly after that.Good luck Adam.
Good advice.
Thank you sir much appreciate you watching

You haven't a clue about what you're talking about.
How can I root a big branch of fig?
Hi Nafisa the best way to root a big branch is to air layer it if it’s still on the tree. If you have cut it I would do the water in an equivalent size bottle but I would let the roots grow out in the water. The branch when big has a lot of life energy in it. Wrap the branch that’s above soil with Parafilm to keep it from drying and sooner or later it will root. Don’t forget to change the water and don’t mess with it. Thank you for watching and good luck.
@@FigMadeira thanks so much. I already plant the big branch in a big pot mixed compost with perlite and soil yesterday. Should I take it out and put in the water? Please reply as soon as you can. I love this tree and don’t want to destroy the branch
@@nafisanabiel2457 no let it be just make sure the soil is moist but not wet and it will be fine do not mess with it. Good luck Nafisa
@@FigMadeira thanks so much. I forgot to mention I dipped the end in rooting powder and plant it. Thanks again
Great video 😊
I wish you wouldn't whisper when you speak... it was difficult to hear you on the video. Thanks
I really appreciate your feedback stuff like that really helps me I will fix that on my next video. Thank you for your view and comment.

Do you sell trees? I’d love to buy a col de dam blanc!
I do if you are in bc. As matter of fact any of my viewers who live in Coquitlam get my trees for free.
Hello my friend, how are you? Just to share with you few things that I’ve done.. I bought 3 cuttings of Olympian trees, 4 Desert King, I propagate them few weeks ago, and now they all have nice roots and lots leaves health coming out.. Also a friend had asked me for my home address, and after 2-3 days I received a very big packet and inside I found 18 cuttings of 6 different types of fig trees. Wasn’t that a nice surprise??? 15 days now they have got roots and leaves nice and very healthy… Have a nice day.. Buy the way today is the 21/3/2024 when do you think and suggest to get the tubs with the figs out in the garden as you have done??? Your advise is always v.g. Regards Yannis London UK
Yannis my friend always good to hear from you. I am excited you have gotten such a nice selection of fig cutting it’s going to be a great year for figs. In London I believe your last frost date is March 31 I would put them out any time after that but I always take my chances and put them out earlier. Take care and have great growing season.
@@FigMadeira Hello my friend, it’s nice to talk to you and get really good advise about figs. We have bad weather at the moment and I will not get them out until mid April, unless the weather changes… Take care and have a very good fig season. Regards Yannis
I use Jobes too! I use the fruit & nut/Fruit/citrus one but I have to order that one online because I can only find the veggies one in store, the NPK is the same for the fruit ones so the label doesn't matter. I also either use composted chicken manure or mushroom compost depending on what is cheaper and easier to find that year
I will try chicken manure this season as well. Thank you for watching.
Unrelated i have 3 varieties: mission, brown turkey and kadota. First two do fine the kadota makes lots of fruit but just never ripens really, any ideas on getting this variety to do better? Thx!
Hi lostpony4885 the Kodata also known as Peters honey is a great honey fig. It produces Breba and main crop. The one I have in ground and in pot ripens the Breba but not the main crop. I would prune for breba leaving all last year growth.Bottom line it’s location and weather that affect us in Pnw. When fruit is ripening we need the heat. I am going to do videos this year on inground vs pot for Breba and main crop. Thank you for watching and good luck.
Even if your pots are right your soil can be trapping water. As it ages its fiber decomposes and it becomes less permeable so i had lot of problems this way; can happen just enough to clog up the drainage. Im moving to fabric pots because they dry out fast and i can feel them to know how the moisture is doing. When parch comes in late summer this will be risky a bit but i'll be placing them in troughs for that time to streamline and cushion the watering procedure.
You are 100 percent correct that’s why some of the plants I up potted doing much better.one of my other viewers suggested grow bags but I haven’t moved that way yet. I will try it this season. I am going to also attempt to water based on weight of the pot. I have to admit the figs I grew in green room were watered just enough based on weight and they are doing great. Thank you for watching lostpony
I manage to overwater and underwater at the same time. I know, its a talent.
Lucky you and I would agree truly a talent. Thank you for watching.
When the dirt get super dry it becomes hard to absorb water some time u could let the plant sit in a tray of water so that it can wick up the water over time like and hour or so
Careful with that dolomite lime everyone, the Magnesium is way too high so if that's your only Calcium source it will not be ideal and could lock out other nutrients.
Ive been trying to propagate 2 fig cutting i bought online and they are in sand kept on heat mats in tupperware how you should do it and they kept getting a deep gray mold! I just took them out again scrubbed off mold, now have them soaking in water for an hr. The twigs seem hollow and lightweight....i wonder if they are dead. I have many others doing very well. One even had a tiny fig on it! But these two are not taking....they were specialty figs. I feel bed because 15 bucks for a dead twig is ridiculous
Hi dvsayer you are already successful with rooting fig cuttings and it’s just those two that are hard. I would try the water method to see if you can get white spores but they do sound like they might be dead. I as a last resort would put them in 3”11” plastic bag with potting soil. Parafilm the exposed wood and tie rubber band around top to not lose moisture and leave them in there to make sure. On line is hard at times to get good cuttings. Thank you for watching and good luck.
Hello 👋 my friend #figmadeira I hope you’re well, I’m Yannis from London UK 🇬🇧 I just want to let you know that none of the 12 black Madeira cuttings that I brought from Portugal 🇵🇹 lived! They were all dead! I don’t know what happened! The 4 cuttings of the white Madeira are live and have big excellent leaves! Now a friend from around London asked me to give him my address I did and in 2 days I received 18 cuttings of 6 different types of figs! I propagated them and I HOPE THEY WILL GET ROOTS AND LEAVES LATER! I am listening to your videos and learning, I thank you my friend! Have a nice evening Yannis 🇬🇷
Yannis my friend always good to hear from you. You are doing something right for all the white Madeiras rooting. The Black Madeira is hard to root but don’t give up hope. I appreciate your support and I will soon put out a video on what I do for rooting cuttings that is very simple and effective and easy. Talk soon
So most people that have osborn/ neveralla really have a verns brown turkey. Real osborn gets a caramel flavor and is more rusty purple color and more elongated with a dark amber pulp. It can hang very long time ripe and is very unique fig
Thank you for your information. I will get another Neverella from different grower and compare. It seems like a lot of figs have different names but are a brown turkey of sorts. Appreciate you watching
put some reflective material like foil paper on the ground. it will bounce the light back up and even out the maturing rate. they do this in japan green houses to make sure their fruits are perfectly colored
That’s a great idea!Thank you so much I will definitely do that next year. Appreciate you watching
Wow!!! That's amazing
Thank you appreciate you watching
Maybe root prune it by 1/3 instead if half. Your plant are in a shock stage. It will take a whole season to recover. I had similar experiences with few of my fig and fruit trees. Actually one if my fruit died after I root prune so I can relocate it to another spot in my backyard. Fig are more resilient to survived. Persimmons are not.
Thank you for you suggestion. I will see how they do this year especially the Petite Negra and then reduce to one third.
#FigMadeira my Friend, if you remember I had gone to Portugal last year September 2023 and got 4 white fig Madeira cuttings, and 12 black fig Madeira. The white are fantastic very strong roots and leaves, but the black one’s they are all dead. Don’t know why?
Hi there! Fig channels pop into my you tube feed now as im always looking for info. I live below you in the pnw, near port townsend.... I bought fig trees 4 yrs ago and put them in ground. One produced about 30 figs last summer. The other ones just a couple...they are desert kings i got at a nursery. I just went and bought 4 more of various other kinds...keep trying to find out why you all grow them in pots? Is it just so you can bring them inside in winter? Plus squirrels try to get them too. I see them going to check for ripeness just as we would! So your saying if i grow in pots then bring them into the shed with 75⁰ and humidity in 40% range the second crop will actually ripen? Thats interesrting! I just wish id get a first crop!!!! Really the trees have grown quite tall ...about 9 t or 12 ft but not so many figs! I would like to get a bunch of ripe figs!!!! I have nine trees now! The 4 i just bought i think ill grow in pots i guess see all these guys who say they stuck a branch in the ground and that same summer have a lot of figs on a tiny new start. But i have tried to root some branches with no luck yet!! 75⁰ is pretty warm for a shed and so much to heat! Im getting a new 10x12 shed built right now so it would be best to insulate the walls then i guess. Also i see all the lights u have on the trees. Do u turn the lights off for about 8 hrs? Its not natural to have light on them constantly is it?? Overall my trees are getting established but seems odd i dont have a ton of fruit by now!
Hi Dvs Sayer Port Townsend is like Mediterranean weather dry summers. Desert kings love that kind of weather. The Desert king is a one crop fig tree. Only in California or Mediterranean where the fig wasp lives can you get second crop. So all your figs will grow on last year wood. So think that every new branch this year will give you figs next year. I would suggest you prune the tree down and keep it close to the ground at end of this year season.It should give you figs on last years growth this year though so be patient. The reasons for growing fig trees in pots vs in ground are many but here are a few like wanting many varieties and not enough room,wanting variety that are late to ripen figs or ones that don’t do good in very cold winters. The bottom line a fig in ground will give the whole family figs one in a pot will give you only enough fruit. As for the lights I run them 14-16 hours on and 8 hours off. I would recommend a negronne peters honey and Adriatic they all will do well there. Good luck my friend and thank you for watching
#FigMadeira thank you, my friend all the black Madeira I believe are dead. But it doesn't matter! I have a lot of black fig trees, white, purple, and yellow-green. I don't have any more space to put them. I follow you and get good advice from you on what and how to do it. I wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄 and health my friend 🙏
#FigMadeira Hello how are you? You remember that I have been to Portugal for holidays and coming back to London in UK I brought 12 branches of Black fig Madeira, and 4 branches of White fig Madeira.. I am happy with the White Madeira because all are rooted and have got now nice leaves, BUT the 12 Black Madeira look dead. Not even one looks good, just very brown I touch them but as I said very dry probably dead. I want to which you Merry Christmas and a happy New Year Regards Yannis
Hi Yannis it’s always good to hear from you. You have done well with the White Madeira and should be proud. The Black Madeira is suppose to be very hard to root and I haven’t tried myself. I would cut the ends to see if there is any life left in them. I have left my Col De Dam blanc in rooting bags for 3-4 months b4 getting any roots and leaves. Sometimes when they look dry they might still have life. Yannis I would suggest for the Black Madeira that you order a rooted cutting and go from there. My first year trying to root cuttings of any kind failed 100%. The fact that you rooted the white Madeira means you know what you are doing. I would suggest that the Black Madeira cuttings might be more temp and humidity sensitive. I will focus a lot of my videos on the Black Madeira next year hopefully that helps. Don’t give up my friend and have a joyous Merry Christmas and great new year. I really appreciate all your thoughts and support. May the fig gods smile on us all.
It is pretty warm there
Hi Denisbear83. We are in the Pnw so our winters are mild but we still have to winterize the fig trees. It’s easy indoors to achieve 22 Celsius temp 71 Fahrenheit. Just 4 led and small heater. Thank you for watching.
I it worth it tho?? Mine are all in my cold room. I have 4 foot led shop light im using for my small citrus trees and other plants i decided to overwinter. I have fig pops Im starting to root and ima move them to the lights when they start developping buds
Hi Surchaufeur thank you for your comments I think it is worth it. If you are thinking about how many figs you will get for the time and effort and money in winter season it’s not worth it. But I grow all my cuttings and air layer and young plants in winter so come spring they are ready. All the main tree are in a cold room like yourself. Also it truly is for the fun of it all. Thank you for your support
@@FigMadeira same i started my cuttings and i have now led shop lights when they start to produce shoots
I’m getting my first fig cutting today to start indoors, how do you identify what type of fig?
Ask the seller what kind of fig it is. 😊
Hi Leslie thank you for watching. It is hard to tell the type of fig tree from the cutting. You can ask what colour are the figs and if it gets two crops or one a year. You can look and compare leave lobes. Also you can ask person giving it to you if it taste like sugar honey or berry (fruity) flavour. From there you can try figuring it out. I would suggest that every fig tree is unique and I would grow it to maturity and enjoy it no matter what. You will become an expert in no time. My first ever fig tree was unknown and turned out to be a desert king. Delicious fig.
Hard to see your paper with different varieties. Can you put this in your comments or show a better picture of this?
Hi Michael thank you for watching. I will put out another video with an updated list that will be easy to view thank you for your feedback.

I’m curious, do fig trees grown in pots always stay skinny? The trees I’ve seen growing in ground were much thicker. Joe is it because your trees are young?
Yes That’s exactly right the older they get the thicker the trunk
