I bet they r very delicious & my mother has a very huge tree of purple, Figs also. Although I don't know what variety, they r. 🤑.
@@JoseLopez-cz3kc Fresh figs are amazing! There's a chance she has Hardy Chicago, but hey, as long as they taste good it doesn't matter!
Beautiful
Thanks for showcasing this little guy
Have you considered just having the golden berry underneath shade cloth or in mostly shade? 🤔
@@novastar369 That's probably the easier solution! Haha, I think I like the challenge similarly to hardy citrus. I want a low maintenance golden berry that we can just throw into the full sun!
So gorgeous 😍
Hello - Quick question: The topsoil we can get at our local landscape store here in Boise is a clay-ish sandy loam rich in minerals. I saw your video, and would like to try it out with some of our potted citrus and olive trees. I noticed it doesn’t drain as fast as other soil types. Is this normal? I noticed it takes some time, but water eventually does drain. Do you think it should be amended with sand/pumice to increase drainage a bit? Also, do you think topsoil can could also be used for potted fig trees as well? Thank you so much!
@@ezequielmartinez2162 That sounds pretty similar to what we have here! That's normal though, top soil won't drain like potting mix. You may just have to adjust your watering schedule. As for figs, definitely! The pot may just be heavy because figs generally require larger pots than citrus.
Waiting on mine to flower, beautiful
I hope it happens for you soon! Only one of ours is flowering, not sure why. The non-flowering one has wider leaves too.
I planted two under my fig tree this year. They're about 4.5' tall and starting to put out side branches. Hoping for lots of seed pods before frost. Got them in late though, so who knows? No problems with bugs or disease so far.
They're healthy plants for sure and very ornamental when blooming. Crossing my fingers for you, I hear they are daylight sensitive when it comes to blooming. The leaves are also edible and tasty.
When did yours start blooming? No sign yet on mine, but I didn’t plant it until June.
I think I planted ours around May/June. I actually had a few early blooms and a small harvest in July but as of the last week of August now it's finally blooming more significantly!
I have I think "lanceleaf ground cherry" (or something) native ones that have popped up here ever since I was a kid. I've eliminated a lot of things I don't want growing in my garden beds, but always let one of those come back every year. I may try grafting a tomato or eggplant to one. I'm not sure if that'll work, but I'll find out. People graft all sorts of nightshade together.
Googling just now it seems my native crappy one is the same one you're grafting onto, possibly. It could also be P. Virginiana? I tried one of the ripe berries last year when I found out they probably weren't poisonous and don't remember specifics other than not caring for it.
@@paul.1337 Give it a try! I saw some research and those grafts can be done, but eggplants and tomatoes were still rather incompatible and pepper to a lesser degree. I got a solid ID on this rootstock ground cherry being p. angulata, but we have several other natives which probably includes virginiana. Some of them are a lot harder to tell apart, haha. Angulata is easier to ID because of the smooth stems and leaves with serrated edges.
I didn’t know that there are differences in the poncirin content On varieties of trifoliate. I’m going to do a taste test of leaves Thanks!
@@kathleenebsen2659 There sure is! The trifoliate orange is actually quite variable in taste and hardiness.
Awesome!!! I have a few yuzus fruits I might try out also. Thanks for sharing brother 💪🍊
@@toughcitrus Definitely, let me know what you think!
Why did you planted all the citrus so close ?is it just for your hardiness test or also for the fruit production? Simple question because it's so different of what we have here in Europe. Here the citrus growers place them around 3 to 5 m away from each other. Finger cross for your next winter 😉
@@superbebowerbird4999 Hi there! This property is temporary so we are keeping the plants smaller and more manageable as a hedge row. On a future, more permanent property, we will space them out much more. They seem to tolerate this spacing well for now and it lets me test a lot more varieties in the same space!
Im going to do about 100 fig plants. In small pots, they get out of control in the ground. I got tons of cuttings from my original fig plant.
@@julian777ju5 We have close to a dozen plants in 2-3 gallon pots that are fruiting well at a smaller size!
Wow, awesome flowers! 😃
@@Myrtuscommunis I know right? Hard to beat passionflower!
Congratultions! 👍
@@Myrtuscommunis thank you!
Where did you get the improved trifoliate exactly?
@@jonathanknobel We have one called Tuckahoe that was from NY and one called Poncirus+ that was sourced from an acquaintance in PA who grew it from seed from Europe. Poncirus+ seems very promising but we are just waiting to confirm any lack of resin in the fruit.
I didn't think to ask for a demonstration, but I have two ungrafted rootstocks and some seed grown kumquat and mandarinquat (the Frieda's store bought ones). So I may have to give this a try now.
@@paul.1337 I think that's a perfect use for this technique. Your kumquat/mandarinquat seedlings may survive and produce much better on the rootstock. I always struggled with root rot when growing quat seedlings of any type.
Awesome work! I had success with MIC and a mystery citrus on yearling trifoliate. My Clem sprouted out, but didn’t make it. 2/3
@@ross2398 That's awesome! My MIC and Clem x Thomasville grafts are nearly ready to be topped to stimulate the grafts to grow.
LSU Purple are fantastic!
I'm really looking forward to when ours ripen! They're loaded at the moment.
Fantastic work man! One day I would love to try this, great tips and tricks!
@@quinnM1007 Definitely give it a try! It's tricky at first but like anything it just takes some practice.
Oh my goodness. All talk about how big they are. No word about fertilizing or how to grow them. 😕🤷♀️
@@debraparker1550 We'll have more instructional videos but there's a lot online already too. These are grown in quality dirt with a bit of compost and full sun, that's it! They're really easy here. In other locations they may be more challenging.
I have been growing several bushes this year in pots in Mesa, Az. They are not looking to vibrant at all so I was very curious. I have added blood meal and bone meal 2 days ago hoping to give them a boost. 🤞I already did compost mid summer. 😕 well we will continue to hope for the best. I was under the understanding they didn't need much and grow in any dirt..
@@debraparker1550 There's a lot that can factor into it, but make sure they have a thick layer of mulch and get lots of water. I'm not familiar with Mesa, AZ but we did have supplemental irrigation running during our early Summer heat wave/drought. Our big Atreano fig tree in NY was planted during a drought Summer and waited until year 2 to explode with growth.
Hi….do you leave the graft in the full sun, or shade/partial shade? I’m in zone 8a. It’s boiling hot here. Thank you.🙏
@@fasteagle9959 We leave the grafts in 50% shade or more, I would definitely opt for full shade when temperatures are 90-100°F like they will be this week here!
Nice work! Have you used Sacaton, Dunsten, Swingle or Troyer for rootstock before? Those are what I have a ton of extras of.
@@yochanontheseeker1942 Yes! Swingle/Sacaton make good, very vigorous rootstock. Dunstan is a bit more susceptible to root diseases in my experience but still tougher than normal citrus. Troyer/Carrizo/Kuharske work well too especially for mandarin/orange hybrids.
@@themulberries Awesome, good to know! Keep up the content brother.
Nice job
@@VirginiaFruitGrower Thanks G! Working on it!
Hi great video , what is the idea behind having the fabric bag in the ground VS above ground?
@@ethanwasher9177 Thank you! The idea started as a loophole since we aren't allowed to plant trees permanently on this property due to it being leased. The fabric pots restrict the roots to a degree, where we only have to root prune with a long spade once per year to make them easy to remove when we eventually relocate somewhere permanent. At the same time however, the fabric pots allow in moisture, benefitting from the constant moisture the ground provides vs. above ground. It's only the first year but this has worked very well for us so far!
@@themulberries thats a very smart way to get around the loophole i like it! , i never thought about putting them in the ground before , well it seems to be working very well so far keep up the awesome work love your videos
They look great! I’m in zone 8a and most of mine think it’s spring here and are flowering. I have 24 trees, 14 different varieties, and they are all unique in varying ways.
@@doctorhadland6510 That sounds like an awesome collection! And thank you, I'm excited to see these in bloom too! It seems a lot of plants are confused here too since we've had drastic temperature swings this summer.
Do you have any full size trees? Cold have you gotten down to? I know these Russian kind should be able to live in zone 7 but my brother had some and they always died back to the root and never fruited. I'm going to try some and see what I can do as well.
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 The white Russian pomegranate variety 'Surh Anor' has proven very hardy here. These, as well as the rest of our stock were propagated from an acquaintance's trees that have lived here (and fruited) for many years. They have seen as low as 4°F and one is probably 15+ feet tall. An arboretum nearby has been growing Salavatski since 2013 which has also survived and fruited!
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 I think microclimates are important too - the largest tree is south facing and planted right up against a brick wall that absorbs a lot of heat during the day.
If you are able to take cuttings from that pentaploid specimen you have, I'd love to test one out in Zone 6 for you! I'm in an extremely fertile crescent known as the Grand Traverse Bay, and just about everything I've tried growing here has taken.
@@LobotomyTC That's awesome! We'll definitely have some material available this Fall, and I'll likely be grafting some on trifoliate rootstock too! I have high hopes for this one and would love to provide more variety for colder zones.
Beautiful
@@BrokeFarmer Agreed!
What grow pots are you using? My pom is blooming right now, middle of August. Must be confused.
@@doggiefamily908 Haha, must be! I got them from 247garden for less than $1 each, I think they were around $0.70.
I put a stake in next to my plant and kind wound a branch around it to try and get it a little more upright. That worked, but then the plant sent up a thicker single stem on its own that is staying up on its own.
@@paul.1337 I noticed that too, it seems that eventually the plant sends up its own central leader(s) without our help. I was attempting to do the same too at first.
I grew some from the grocery store that might have been "wonderful" but they basically only have a few long branches. Probably because they are in pots
@@novastar369 I'm sure they'll pick up the pace as they get some age too! In-ground definitely makes a big difference with all of our trees. Our potted ones can't compare.
I have 2 crimson sky pomegranate that I planted in April 2022 that are fruiting for me for the first time this year.
Wow, just 2 years! That's awesome, enjoy the fruit.
Glad to see more people growing Poms. I have a Parkfianka and a Rannii in containers that survived our 7a North Jersey winter. Planted 3 more this spring in the ground and they have tripled in size already.
That's awesome! I've heard a lot about Parfianka. It's amazing how fast these plants grow. I have a feeling I'm going to be adding more to our small collection with each passing year!
great varieties, I've got Afganski (mature, fruiting last 2 seasons), Sirenevyi (cutting, will test hardiness this winter), Sweetheart (seed, will test hardiness this winter) and Wonderful (seed, dies back not good in zone 7)
@@raregrowsNJ Thanks! Next year we may have to scoop up some rooted Afganski cuttings from you! I've heard wonderful wasn't quite as hardy so I didn't bother planting one here.
@@themulberries I've heard the same as well, maybe look into the variaty "Granada". I've seen it mentioned that its a genetic mutation of Wonderful that is slightly more cold hardy down to zone 7 with minor protection and its fruit have the same characteristics and taste as wonderful but ripen a month ealier
@@vik9001 Very interesting! I'll have to look into that one. I imagine you could do a mass cold hardiness trial with seeds from a Wonderful pomegranate since they are easily obtainable at the grocery store.
My best producer so far. Sugary and some figgy. Its not bad at all.
@@gardenofseeden Agreed! We had 3 this past weekend and they were very sugar and not too complex. Not very figgy either so we definitely enjoyed them! No kidding though, these trees are loaded...so are our LSU purple and O'Rourke. I'm going to be adding a lot more LSU figs to the rows.
I have like 8 trees, can't wait till they produce. Zone 7a South Jersey.
@@gardenofseeden That's awesome, good luck with them! I'm excited to see these bear fruit as well.
Hello! I wonder if any of your plants are able to ship to Canada?
@@yuanrongxu5323 Unfortunately we can't ship plants to Canada, sorry!
@@themulberries its alright, thanks for letting me know. So great to have resources around👍
@@yuanrongxu5323 You're welcome. I wish we were able to. I'm researching for next year whether seeds are possible/practical as an option for our international viewers.
@@themulberries I’m looking forward to it! Goodluck to your business! 🍋🌱
@@yuanrongxu5323 Thank you! 🌱
Wish I was closer
@@BrokeFarmer I know, that would be cool!
I got a few live plants from you a little while ago. Sacaton and Dunstan Citrumelo. They're doing quite well for Northern Michigan (6b)! I also grabbed a few seeds from @toughcitrus, who also sent me some C-35 seeds as a bonus. It'll be fun to see what survives the tundra.
@@LobotomyTC That's awesome you got those from us! Our Dunstan was a limited batch too. Super cool you're growing them in a colder zone! I'm hoping in the future we can provide more, hardier varieties for our zone 6 friends to experiment with.
@@themulberries ah, my mistake, I actually got Swingle and Sacaton from you. I ordered Dunstan seeds from TC. I feel like all I need now are some true citrus as indoor plants, and we might see an interesting extra few varieties in the world!
@@LobotomyTC I can definitely recommend Calamondin as an indoor plant, it's been our least susceptible to spider mites and stresses of indoor growing in general. A lot of the other quats can do well too but for some reason Calamondin has been the healthiest for us.
Nice
@@BrokeFarmer Thanks!
Disk you seal fig tree
Nice fruit set, my brother grows figs and pinches the terminal ends from the branches in the Spring when they reach 8" - 10" in length. This initiates rapid fruit development. Due to our shorter growing season the latest fruits fail to ripen in October. Branches that don't respond to the pinching, will produce side branches, which can be also be end pinched when they reach 8" - 10" in length.
@@rafaelramos441 Thanks! That's a good strategy for sure. We pinched some of our more stubborn varieties, but not this Improved Celeste so I'm impressed it set this many on its own. We can probably keep picking into October and maybe early November if we're lucky.
I wish you luck but i think i will stick to my Christmas lights and plastic up here in canada.
Thank you, and best of luck to you as well.
