Thanks... so informative. You are a great teacher. I like marking where you're later going to make cuts. It gives you time to really study the tree and make adjustments if you change your mind.
Hi Chris, your faithful follower here. Love this content, I am glad you did it to show us progression of your first year pinching method, I am so excited about trying it with my upcoming rooted cuttings. I will be sharing your videos with my Fig FB groups. I didn't see cuttings sale on your FB page, I am sure you produce plenty and I am hoping that you will do at one point. Looking forward for more great content....Thanks
Thank you for the support! I do produce a ton of cuttings. However, this year I won't be selling any. I have only a limited amount of time and a lot of work before I head home to Ireland. Look for us in the spring. Tree sales will begin some time in April.
Why do you keep the trees in pots? And not in ground. I have a couple trees that are 3 yrs old with really tall straight trunks. At the top is really nice branching tho. I guess i just didnt know u could cut them! So now they are really tall. I wouldnt dare just cut it down to about 3 ft would i ? Cause theres no branches in the long straight main trunk! There is so much to learn. You have a great set up!
The trees in this video are in ground. Each 55 gallon barrel has the bottom cut off. I use them kind of like individual raised beds. There are many benefits and I will cover them in a future video. As for your pruning. Don't be afraid to prune your tree exactly the way you want. Fig trees are resilient, it will grow back if you make mistakes. Don't worry about it 😉.
The sun-umbrella shape looks nice for fig trees. Do you grow "Madeleine de 2 saisons" biferous fig trees? If yes how would you recommend to grow & prune them? I planted one 6 years ago outside & never saw it bearing figs. I pruned it this winter to try to shape it with 3 to 4 branches & snapped off one of the ending buds some days ago to see what will happen. On my in-pot cuttings, I did mainly as you presented in your 2 first parts of the series you made.

Thermal mass. When I have the covering on the Fig House it keeps everything just a little bit warmer. It also slows down the day night temperature swings.

Thank you 🙏🏽!! That’s exactly how I’m going to prune because that’s the shape I’m after 👍🏽
Very informative 😊

Hi good looking nicely shape trees . Are those in ground or in pots?
Inground, 55 gallon barrels with the bottoms removed.

I just started a cutting this spring.
@@TravelingGardeners OK, wish you all the best then. Cheers.
Would you share what kind of pots you’re using for your figs?
