If you plant these 2 halves into fabric pots to avoid circling roots, why are all of your pots on the other side of your pool not in fabric pots, but in black plastic? Do you not think there was any need to put an antibacterial on the huge open wound you had down each half of the original root? p.s. will you explain the early comment about the color of the tool handle? I cannot be the only viewer who “ doesn’t get it”.
Traditional plastic pots are more readily available. They also hold moisture longer. I’ll see how these fabric pots behave and go from there. Always good to experiment. As far as the tools, the lime green is a “house” brand of Home Depot. It’s not as rugged as a DeWalt or Makita brand. DrWalt is black and yellow and Makita is a teal blue and black. Those are the “professional” brands. So the joke is no serious contractor is going to use lime colored tools. It’s a bit of inside baseball I know. 😂
Just for future reference . Only Milwaukee makes the Sawzall . Other brands using it are incorrect . Like the Skill Saw. Only Skill makes it. Nice vid thou.
A white man wearing a 2Pac shirt carrying a sawzall. That fig didn’t stand a chance. JK. I’ve split many trees like this and haven’t lost one yet, however I do a little root investigation before hacking into it. Looks like you threaded the needle though so they will both be fine.
Would it be better after U split the 2 tree , I would spray the tree pruning sealer before I replant , just curious . I always use the prune sealer every time when I trim the figs tree.
The fig work never ends! Who needs to do this?
When repotting, roots, especially microscopic ones, are lost. I would remove several leaves to help the plant survive.
Thanks for the comment!
I have 2 or 3 I need to do, I prefer the single trunk look as well.
Boooo the ryobi hate 😂😂. They make some great tools 😊
Your such a rebel, breaking all rules. Very interesting, can’t wait to see the results in a couple of weeks
Nice cut! I can’t wait to see how it(they) do.
Hey now. A mix of colored tools is fine. 🤣 The orange rigid ones are the best, tho.
I've gone mostly with Makita, but have a couple Ryobi here and there.

As far as bacteria, the entire root ball has millions of bacteria as it is.
I've got an Olympian fig in the same condition and I'm wondering if I should split it this fall or wait for spring. Thoughts?
At this point I’d wait until spring.
How are they now?
Doing perfectly well
😂
Was this a success?
Yes! Got two healthy trees & gave one away

Interesting that’s like the Xerox and Kleenex phenomenon.
@@thenotoriousfig Yes, keep the vids coming .

I’ve heard lots of debate both ways on the sealer. I always vote for the laziest option lol.
