Thanks but the snap on brace part is most important Part & I was hoping ud show how bc Iam Desperate to get my exact heater with no instructions figured out this cold morning

Hi. Which variety is the gouegeous plant you have.in your garden?

Does it matter the angle you cut the branch? I have a few young trees which I’m trying to stimulate growth. Flat cut or 45 on the branches??

Can I propagate figs in winter.?

Very good place for snakes to hide

Is there an update to this vid?

an 'around it all video' and stupid music tracks for no purpose

I tried this (green cutting) in summer no success 😢 how in the world did it work for u... do u have magic hands?😂

Im interested in cuttings plz

Plain old sand works great too😊

Beyond doubt the most important fig video I have yet seen. However as an extreme novice: I note a possibly significant omission which at first viewing would reasonably be more obvious to the experienced horticulturalist than to a novice, namely that all the cuttings shown appear to be from "winter prunings", being last years growth and at least semi-hardwood?: and this elegant technique may not work with the current year's softer growth?. Beyond that no questions or queries, thank you :) I invite the reader to "please note also" the comments of another viewer shown below which I hold to be of the greatest consequence. >>> @"GardenLove-yh3rv" 2 months ago (edited) The lenticels of the cutting are where root primordia form, which is the beginning stages of root formation. When you get to this stage as in the video seeing all those bumps you must put it in soil or else it will rot and die. Timing when to get it in the soil is the key for it to grow into a fig tree...... My respects to all: ......John, Perth, W-Australia...("your friendly: albeit distant fellow figahollick"?)

...in the very beginning of this video you are standing in front of a really lush fig....do you cut this back to the ground for winter prep?

Hey! New to fig growing and love your videos. Thank you! Where can I get a brown turkey fig? How do I know what type I have now?

Everyone is telling me that this particular kind is not water soluble

When I said you didn't say anything about water I was talking about the sand not the Hydroponics

I don't know if I missed it but you didn't say anything about how much water to put in

check out RUclips channel I am organic gardening. He does not do fertilizer etc with his leaves

Ya, the back does get tired. Menards has the newer model for $1,067, (with rebate). Can't beat that price and comes with 4-way. My solution is to put the splitter on a 18' decked car hauler trailer, which raises the splitter to a more comfortable height. I use a telehandler or old bobcat to move the large rounds to the splitter- some are +30" oak and seem heavy for 76 y.o., not in the best physical condition. If you get tired, take a break. Eat a Mediterranean diet, that helps with the cardio-vascular. Thanks for the video.

Nice video thank you. can you send me some cuttings?

I'm in S.C. foothills, I'm retired and just got the bug. My first is the Celeste Fig for 39.95. I took two clippings and doing the same. If you're interested in Paw Paw trees, It works for them as well, it took two months to root in water, I have two.

You're a boss dude.. Good luck!!

@8:33 YEAH baby !!!!

Its nice to have all that chicken manure to add to your pile , speeds it up. I dont have that but still do ok just takes me longer. I usually add rabbit pellets which has alfalfa to initiate my piles. Once your pile quits heating up its time to let it sit and the worms will come up into it to help finish the pile.

Thanks for the video, it was exactly what I was looking for!

Did you apply water to the sand and did you water them during the winter? Ray in fla

❤thanks

That’s how I’ve been doing it since I was a kid in Africa, then in Europe and in USA. Now I use water and glass beads, around 3/8” round. I use to use pebbles but the roots were harder to separate. Go to Michael’s or any Hobby shop and get clear glass beads. Put about an inch of beads in a see through container. Stick the cuttings into the beads and add water to the level of the beads. The beads are used to hold the cuttings upright and spaced apart. The first thing I do is use a brand new razor blade to scrape the one inch of the cuttings, just to expose the freshest green skin. I mean; removing the fine exterior brownish layer. Practice on your thumb nail. The successful rate is very high.

Are you sending out any fig tree this year for free? 😅

here's a little something I came across shortly after watching your video. It makes me think that the reason roots only seemed to grow on top of the sand in your lower experiment is because of the following. I also could agree with C3Voyage's observation about heat mat temp, altho my heat mats don't have settings, just do their thing between 70-80F, per their paperwork. I've checked and it seems to come in a bit over 80 in my containers full of sand and cuttings. I'm in the middle of trying to root my first batch of cuttings, so fingers crossed. I will remove the heat mat if they get ridiculous, but I am in the NE and it is getting to freezing temps now, and I don't keep the house too warm, so I want to give the babies some warmth.

Love you’re videos this is what my video are kinda like, would love to reach out and talk

What state are you located?

Thanks for the interesting tips god bless

Love love the great tips how to grow figs i will try it in the summer thank you god bless 🙏❤️

Thank you for your interesting tips God bless you 🙏

Thank you very interesting tips I will try some next summer God bless 🙌 🙏

I've never had any success laying the cuttings horizontally in sand. The cuttings mold and rot before they have a chance to establish a root system. Standing them up in sand is the way to go with woody cuttings.

The reason they don't rot in water is because water doesn't cause rot. An anoxic environment, such as that in your pots, does cause rot. Your potting medium isn't soil, it's almost entirely composed of an organic material i.e., coco coir. If you pot in sand or actual mineral soil you can never overwater or rot your cuttings.

Are your trees hardy in Minnesota?

I have two large healthy fig trees. Chicago hardy and yellow honey. I get loads of figs that are green till Oct. by then it starts to get 50 degrees at night and then winter comes. I live in zone 7 Long Island NY. Should I cut inside branches to let light in? The trees are over 10 yr old.

Do you add other types bacteria ?

I never had luck with clonex, always rotted .

i love your videos especially the one where ya had so cuttings in a red bucket with 2 “ of water in the bucket. i tried it and was successful with it, thank you. i would love a cutting from a chicago hardy. M address is Ray M 1758 weeping elm circle, port orange Fla 32128. thanks keep making those videos.

I came here with many questions about propagating, I appreciate the information you shared.

I use plastic jars with the lid and it’s always 100% success. Whether it’s the snack container from Costco or peanuts or cashew containers, doesn’t matter. Soaking Sand Tight Lid anywhere indoors near a window, my wife’s desk, doesn’t matter. 365 days a year.

Any followup? Did you get good results?

I’m also in 6b in Colorado 🎉love finding 6b growers. I’m going crazy with figs and look forward to your fig update with beautiful varieties. My back yard is a food forest with vegetable and vines (raspberries and blackberries) accompanied by apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches, plums and growing into fig land. I look forward to your website. Your goal tickles me. Figs should not be a luxury. Wish I was local as between you and James I appreciate New Jersey gardens so very much. James and Tuck are wonderful resources. Your chicken coop is exquisitely thought out. I just went through a bad seizure after cancer treatment and am adapting to hemiplegia so my garden is my therapy 😂 I’m working to create beds that are more accessible (higher with bench to sit or kneel while I scratch or pick). Ha! Your property is beautiful. I’m dreaming of moving out of burbs and getting a larger property as I’ve just about filled the space I have but not my enthusiasm. The outer banks …my favorite place to vacate. 🎉thanks for a great share.

I see on your cuttings you wrap the tops in cellophane plastic. Why is that?

Great video brother I really liked the laying flat idea but sorry for the fail. Did you say the Chicago hardy and brown turkey are the same fig? Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

My guess is that your heat mat put off too much heat much of the time in the shallow tote. I think your non-heated bottom tote kind of validates that. I'd try again with a thermostat. I've done quite a bit of work as a hydro microgreen grower. Lots of videos on it, over the years, and I have a couple books out on it as well, but I mention only to say that I created what I call a superantifungal using potassium bicarb (PB) and oregano oil. It has been critical to successful growth of seed-grown control of fungus/mold. I've had lots of positive feedback on my mix. Here's my point for all that background. You can add 1/2 teaspoon of PB to 1 quart or liter of water and spray your sticks as much as you want--weekly, daily, 2x/day, etc. It's not harmful at all and it will control fungus/mold before it sets in. The mix I use includes oregano oil, but you won't need it. I'd spray every couple days and I'll bet it will help with your mold. Test on a small sample if you're cautious.
