    Good description on your figs. I would be interested in cuttings possibly. Hearing you talk about low light and the fig doing well gives me hope. That is my one concern about where I live is very little areas with good sunshine. I'm trying to not invest a ton of money into them until I can find out if I'm able to grow them. Still waiting and hoping on my first cuttings to root. I'm excited for this next year.

      @TheRealHonestInquiry 9 месяцев назад +2

      I would find the Ross Raddi interview with the owner of figBid, where he talks about the ficus variety he grafts onto in Florida in order to resist root-knot nematodes prevalent in the soil there. So it's recommended to learn to graft onto those if they'll be in-ground or at least get varieties claiming to be root-knot nematode resistant, and/or look up predators to root-knot nematodes and how to attract them, insect frass might be an option. If you're growing in pots you could do pretty much anything although you might search for varieties more suited to humidity/resist splitting in the rain, have a small eye etc.

    It is not appropriate to just rename a tree. You did not say whether or not you even asked the owner if she knew the variety name of her tree. It is clearly an Adriatic type and most certainly already has a name. Renaming and spreading around the cuttings only adds more confusion to what already exists. This is an "unknown" tree, not a new variety. Renaming a tree goes against existing standard practice in the fig community because we end up with the same tree going by 50 different names.

      He Has to call it something! 🤔 Perhaps when it is seen and compared to other figs the original name can be found. 🤓💖

      @@lynettebee6045 that is very true, which is why the normal custom is to attach the word "unknown" either before or after. This is done to clarify that it is a 'found' fig and indicate that the true cultivar name is not known. Renaming and selling a found fig only multiplies confusion. This is why the practice is in place of adding "Unkown"

      It's not likely the owner of the tree that hates figs would be interested to know the name of the figs and I'm sure he inquired. You have to call it something other than unknown
