Nice to see Terry get some attention. 👍
Wealth of knowledge in this video! Thanks for filming this tour. I appreciate it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s nice to see folks getting together for good company and growing together in more ways than one.
Great video. I bought some of my first trees from Terry and really enjoyed my visit with him.
Very cool
Hey Terry, you have an awesome, mature Fig & Fruit Tree collection. Thanks for sharing. We need to hook up this fruiting season.
I have a 200 Fig Tree orchard in New Roads, La. and got many varieties , that you have, from Cajun B . Brian has most, if not all
of the LSU varieties.
Glad to learn the history of Roy Young's White Honey fig from Pecan Island. I have one I bought from Mr Young and several other varieties of figs he sold at his Fruit Ranch Nursery in Abbeville Louisiana.
Very cool! I got one from Terry also.
Thank you for giving us a inside look into the garden of a passionate fig grower 😇
My pleasure!! Glad you enjoyed it
This was heart warming for me being a part of the group it brought back so many memories. I enjoyed seeing it. Travis Callahan will always be remembered he was my mentor.Terry you have a nice collection of fig trees and gave great information and history thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Hope you can make the next gathering.
@@FlomatonFamous I not long had surgery
Hey Richard glad to learn you can root satsuma from cuttings.. the air layers with bananas add oranges did not work I did not water them..
Excellent tour and information shared!
Thank you!
OMG His trees are bigger than yours, I always enjoy your videos.. I really enjoyed this one.
Thank you for the compliment. I need to get an updated fig orchard video posted. Soooo much going on!
@@FlomatonFamous YOU REALLY DO.. you have an amazing property and amazing Fig trees.. so many of us want to see the growth of yours..
I just love your videos thank you for posting more videos
Glad you like them! Thank you for the compliment!
That was really fun to watch.
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for taking us along for the tour! How would a fella like me get invited to a meet up like this? I'm not far from where yall were for the video. I'm always trying to learn, share and grow my knowledge and fig collection.
Well, I'll be having a meetup here at my house maybe as soon as next year. Fig-a-Rama will be 31 Aug in Georgia and Fig Frolic will be middle of Sept.
@@FlomatonFamous is that something you'll announce on your channel or on facebook whenever you decide on the particulars?
@@MrEunderwood Yes, I will definitely announce it on Facebook and more than likely a RUclips announcement
Thanks for sharing awesome video!!
Thanks for watching! Hope you are doing well!
thanks for the fig fact fun
I never knew that black fig trees had red leaves on the tips of new growth. Thanks. White fleshed peach varieties have whitish looking leaves before they fall off the tree. BTW, satsumas root from cuttings almost like weeds.
I didn't realize it either. I'm going to go try air layering satsuma.
Very good and interesting
Thank you
Good production! Did he know Travis Callahan? Never mind, he just named members of that group. Travis passed on a year or 2 ago [Fact checked myself. It was over 4 years ago!]. Great horticulturist and jack of all trades. I was on Travis' emailing list for quite a while. I still have one of Travis' horticultural videos. Never got around to viewing it! Thanks for filming Terry!
I thought you were on the list... you aren't on it anymore?
I saved most of the emails for Travis email group that I was involved in and still have them in a gmail folder.
Problem with Figs- many just don't care for them. I love them, Only one in my family.
The rain discussion of Ozone making H2O2 was interesting. Rain around the gulf at times could be quite acidic; at one when I was doing pH on it. Today I am not sure since a lot of the burning of power plant coal has ceased.
Thunderstorms also make other compounds: Those consisting of NOx are best known. Recently I was playing around with some root crops: sweet potatoes and Jerusalem artichoke. Our recent heavy rains knocked the leaves off of the sweet potatoes and some of the Jerusalem artichoke sprouts were killed and other looked a little brunt. Did not brother the tomatoes that I had planted and some of them of them actually have tomatoes on them planted straight into soil with out raised beds. That is a first for me.
NOx
The rapid heating and cooling within a lightning bolt cause the gases oxygen and nitrogen in the air to react and form nitric oxide (NO).
Then, the nitric oxide very quickly reacts with more oxygen which combines with oxygen to form NO2 (nitrogen dioxide).
Both of the nitrogen compounds are collectively called NOx.
Thats very interesting ! Thank you for sharing all of that info!
Always wondered exactly what caused the thunder boom. The 10,000 degree heat from lightning followed by the rapid cooling.. expansion then collapse. Glad to learn about the NO2
Ronde de Bordeaux tree, early figs, mistakenly called violet de Bordeaux ,
do you have to spray anti-fungals?
After my grandfather died and my mom inherited the house, she had to cut down a 75 year old fig tree because it was rotting and a risk. It had always been a great producer and became a big tree.
Since then it has started growing back with many canes from the stump. This year I took a bunch of suckers and now have them growing in pots. And just like the original tree that started coming back my figs are taking off also.
I don't know anything about the variety. I know it's old. Is there anyway to identify what variety it is based on the leaves? No fruit yet but hopefully that comes back soon also. I want to keep it alive because of the family history. The tree is in Saint Marys Georgia which is a coastal town the first exit once you cross the Florida Georgia line.
I used to live in St. Mary’s. If you email me a pic I’ll see if I can give you an answer. FlomatonFamous@gmail.com
@FlomatonFamous wow I seriously lucked out with that post! I'm in the Tampa area so don't have a picture of the mother tree on me. But will show you the small ones I potted. Hope that is enough to go on.
My grandfather and grandmother (Sam and Irma Grier) were both master gardeners took the classes and all. Can't give them credit for planting the tree because it was there when they bought the house in the 60s. But they get some credit for keeping it alive. House is on Weed Street near the waterfront. Photo coming soon.
I totally know that street. Can't say that I remember that house but I've been up and down all of those streets. Be sure to send pics of the fruit and inside the fruit when it ripens please.
@@FlomatonFamous thank you again for the help! I will send some fig pics when we get another crop!
