Thanks , it was allot of work. That was all of my closet space too. Now my clothes all hang in the washroom on a rod. But it was worth it. Now I have many trees that are twice as big(Or bigger)as they would be if I waited for spring to start them outdoors. And that will make them much larger next year than most of my trees were in year 2 or even yr 3. So 2 or 3 months indoor growth helped put me 1- 1.5 years ahead with several varieties.

Hey man, what did this year that was easy and quick. I bought real alluminum foil duct tape, the real alluminum stuff. And wrapped some pots with it. Much easier than painting them. Wrap and bam its done no dry time. And you can leave 1 to 2 inch of exposed black between strips of the alluminum and still get a little extra heat if needed too. I think I am liking the 3 ring wrap prett good. At least on 3 gallon pots and 1 gallon pots .One ring at the top , one ring in the middle and one ring down low but not blocking holes. Leaves just enough black plastic showing to get a little heat but not too much..

@@southeastfigs5451 I did think about using that foil tape, but it would cost me a pretty good penny to caver all my pots. lol The wife already had some paint, so I'm going to use that up...then I might do some of the smaller ones like you did. Good idea though!

Me too, yr one had 2 figs develop but was too late in the year. Now the tree that has figs is still in its pot from last year, it was up-potted sometime around mid season into its current 7.5-8 gallon pot. And was left alone this spring. The other two were repotted this spring and not even a nub of a fruit yet. So far it seems that it needs to settle in a pot and be left alone to get figs. At least at this young an age. The other key to me having so many figs on so many trees has been using a bloom boost fertilizer starting after the first 3-4 weeks of active growth, and stopping the higher nitrogen at that time. I used Scotts super bloom this spring it has a 12-55-6 NPK. Easing off of the 20-20-20 which stimulates more veggitative growth after the first 3-4 weeks, and switching to a bloom boost fertilizer helps the trees put more affort into fruit production instead of focussing so much on veggitative growth. Theres nothing wrong with lots of veggitative growth, but if you want actual figs then a bloom boost/fruiting fertilizer makes a world of difference. The first 3-4 weeks using a 20-20-20 or similar helps kick start green growth so you get a good burst of leaf growth and new branch growth, then switching to bloom boost helps the tree start focusing on fruit production more quickly and can help you get way more figs .I also love JOBES all purpose organic pelletized fertilizer with Biozome, meaning it has Mycorrhyzal fungi and archaei and stuff for greater root health, and helps all around health too. I mix that in mix soi before hand. And if Im not repotting a y Tree then I side dress it into the top 3-4 inches of potting mix close to the outter edges of the pot. I know you didnt actually ask. But thats how I generally keep healthy looking trees on a regular

@@southeastfigs5451 good info bro thanks

Your welcome. We lived in the Arizona Desert when I was a kid, Nothing but sand , rocks , and tumbleweed . but we lived in the middle of nowhere on the hwy next to the burger stand my mom ran. My dad did other work, I was only like 4-5yrs old so dont remember much. But I would love to visit the Desert again. The exact spot where we used to live actually.

Yeup, I have gotten my first two plates full from ginos black and nero 600m. Ginos Black looks nice but it is very difficult to get them ripe with flavor. I will keep the tree and let a branch or 2 stay ginos black for a couple more seasons while I hunt a replacement. To see if it gets its flavor back as it gets bigger. I will probably put it in the ground though, and see how it reacts. I think I got the cutting for free from BackWoodsSouthernLawyer on ourfigs. Need to simply ask him if it can ever have that great flavor without being kept 90%dry the whole fruiting cycle.

Havnt tried it yet, but so many people say theu should have just put several smith in ground instead of just one that I am taking their advice. Of course I will try it first but gotta be good as many people rave about it so much.

@@southeastfigs5451 Smith did rank really high in our local fig tasting last year.

@@gapey what others ranked high? From my research, smith isn’t very cold hardy so I’ll probably end up keeping mine in a pot until it’s main trunk is thick enough to try a zone 7b winter.

@@firstname7769 last year the top 5 main crop figs were petite negra, RGR, RdB, and MBvS. White madeira ranked high too but we only had one little fig that I brought to split 10 ways so was hard to get a good sample of it with such a small bite.

@@gapey cool. How big were the RGR? I’m rooting it right now and I’m excited about the idea of huge figs. Only had RDB this year and those were tiny.

Yeup, keeping mine I got from you, its going in ground next spring or possibly this fall., and keeping one of the others so I have two and have one in a large planter.

@@southeastfigs5451 I'm working on rooting another one for me, I think I'm going to keep 2 of this one as well....if it fails I'll do another AL.

Hey bro. I havnt paid my phone bill cuz I gotta change phone numbers after those people cloned my number and stole money off my debit card. And I been sick for over a week so havnt gone to change prepaid phone numbers yet. Thats why u aint heard from me and I havnt posted a new video yet. I shot one but didnt have the energy to even post it. Anyway wanted to say hello. I am getting better finally. Gotta pot up fig trees and set them out very soon.

@@southeastfigs5451 Dang man, that really sucks....understandable though. Hope you get all that worked out. I have some knee issues happening right now so haven't been to work in 2 weeks. Well let me know when you get another number. You don't go to the forum anymore?

@@ktrain4996 I do . just havnt felt like it the past few weeks so much going on. Got outside for the first time in the yard for a couple hours and I am beat down. It will take a few weeks to really bounce back. I aint been sick in a couple years but when it hits me it hits me hard for whatever reason. Always has been that way ever since I was a kid.

@@southeastfigs5451 I haven't been doing much with my knee jacked up....Wife is helping me shuffle plants in and out. Tonight they can stay out with a low of only 50. Hope you get feeling better bro....good that you got some time out in such nice weather.

Rite. I just finished the last ones. Like 17 lsu tiger and 21 vista. No more for me. Im gonna have to put all these small pots in bigger pots. Like take one 20 pot fill with soil and set as many 1 gallon pots in it as possible. That way I dont have to water 2 or 3 times a day. At least for the giveaway trees. There will be quite a few

@@southeastfigs5451 You may need another grow room my friend. lol

I been using it for maybe 4 yrs. It does work good.

Just 2 shelves. Leaves room for trees to grow
