I have about 15 first year trees that are all from cuttings rooted in the winter (including a Moro de Caneva cutting I got from you). I also received a Bass’ Favorite in a 2 gallon tree pot. It had horrific FMV so I cut it in half and potted it up. It still has terrible FMV but it’s growing and fruiting like crazy just like all the other 15 cuttings. I foliar spray with an OMRI listed fish fertilizer every 4 days and it’s the best kept secret in gardening. I use it on all my plants and it’s a game changer. It doesn’t cause rust if done early in the morning and multiple studies have shown that plants uptake nutrients much better through the leaf. If your figs are in a pot then you are losing a lot of nutrients every time you water. No way around that. Foliar spraying is a great way to combat this and put the nutrients where the plant can use them instantly and efficiently.
Try some triple phosphate and lime on the stubborn to fruit varieties. Of course a soil test taken from each area will give the full picture. Worth a try. Good luck.
Great job Ross, continue doing the walk talk, I learned a lot from you, thank you very much Last year I was able to get from a friend of mine more than 20 variety, all of them from Palastine and Jordan that have brought to the State more than 30 years ago Once I identify them I will send you some pictures
Hello Ross, what is the largest size pots your figs end up in? You always refer to pots in litres but we refer to the diameter of pots- I have to check my computer to convert the litre sizes. Fabulous video love your work .
Maybe on that risolet (however it's spelled) you could girdle the main trunk next spring to try and cause a sucker that you can then make the main stem. Then air layer the other healthy growth. Just a thought.
Really enjoyed your informative walk n talks, I’ve learned a lot so thank you! I have a Brown Turkey fig and had very little fruit production, every time one starts to develop, it either stays the same size or drops but I think it’s down to feeding?Thanks again 😊
I have exactly the same situation with the White Madeira #1. What coincidence. I'm in zone 9A. It's exactly same size as yours, and in a 2 gallon pot, with just 2 leaves on it. I tried all tricks to get it to grow to no avail. Every other fig tree responded to the same treatment except this one. I just don't get it.
Hey, what do you do with all of those in the winter? I am in St. Louis (Zone 6B) so I think your climate may be similar to mine. I heard that the cold winters will damage them. is that true?
Several years ago i took cuttings from I found a fig tree growing in the sand dunes on Long Beach Island ,N J. It was not bearing figs because too much shade from the scrub pines also growing in the sand. I successfully rooted it and harvested tasty figs.
I am beginning to become concerned about becoming a crazy fig guy. This dude has hundreds of fig trees and has NO qualms about caring for them. I just wanted 2 or 3 or 4 fig varieties I can grow in pots. But the sheer number of varieties mandates that I have at least 75 to 100 different fig trees.

Agree completely! My leafs double in size on top of being in California ideal climate
Enjoyed the walk. Would like to see you compost tea process.
No harm in doing a video on your compost tea. I'd like to see it!
Awesome, I love the longer more informative videos. Thanks Ross I've learned alot.
Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing!
My desert king took 4 yrs to have tons of fruit there are so many on it this yr! More fruit every yr on all my trees...

Thanks Ross for your prompt answer.Appreciated
Boss man bing, helluva backyard setup, appreciate all the insights and detail as always

Please do!
Dig the camera view! Good look
Check out boogie brew. Interesting recipe on compost tea. Personally spay underside of leafs. Good to see your progress! Always 👍
Your neighbours got one hell of a lawnmower
Your plants are looking real good. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting just interesting

15 gallon!
Sooooo many Figs!

Solid idea. I'm gonna try to air layer something healthy and start over.

Probably soil health. Send me photos of your tree. I'll help you.

Why is it every RUclipsr focused on figs has a minimum of 375 fig trees?
Do you know anything about using silica either as a foliar spray or when watering the potted figs ? I read it helps potted plants fight diseases.

I am in St. Louis (Zone 6B) so I think your climate may be similar to mine. I heard that the cold winters will damage them. is that true?
Dude, how do you manage all the fruit from so many trees? How often are you going through them to pick ripened fruit?
Picking figs is a lot of work.
where you located ? grow zone ?
Pulp wood!
When you say you took a sucker from an existing Celeste in ocean city, how did you take it?
Removed it from the base. It had some roots on it.
Several years ago i took cuttings from I found a fig tree growing in the sand dunes on Long Beach Island ,N J. It was not bearing figs because too much shade from the scrub pines also growing in the sand. I successfully rooted it and harvested tasty figs.
I am a bit jealous that you have figs growing
Who helps you with all those trees and plants? You don't look like retirement age.
This was my first thought on this video when I saw all the new growth and how many potted figs Ross has.

Lmao. I think 15 is a good number. 75 for most collectors is unreasonable.
