My (I think) great, great, great, great grandma who was born and raised in the middle east brought a fig tree from there when she came to America and that tree has been following my family for generations, when we move we cut off a branch and grow it, currently the fig tree that is growing right now has been in my backyard for almost 30 years and it is humongous and to be honest I don't know how it has survived cuz we do not take care of it at all, we just left it to do it's thing, and it has gone through an attack of an invasive vine in my yard, freezes, and droughts but always produces delicious fruit and I'm currently trying to grow the fig tree since we are most likely going to move again, so wish me luck on continuing this tradition❤
Omg 🥹🥹❤️ I have a pomegranate tree that came from my grandma’s- by the time I was a kid it was already a beast! It was so dense and stood incredibly tall! The fruit would weight the branches to the ground. I’m so happy to hear about those lucky trees- I wish the same for our little pomey ❤
Thank you! I love your videos. You are informative, concise and to-the-point. You’re thorough, and you anticipate and answer questions. I appreciate that! 😃
Yes, growing fig trees from cuttings are so easy. Living on the Gulf Coast of MS ,many homes have fig trees because they are just so tasty and so easy to start. When we plan to start another tree ,we will locate a lower branch in the spring an press it to the ground with a large rock or multiple bricks. By the time the tree has put on fruit, the branch will have sprouted roots. The branch is then cut and the section that has sprouted is transplanted to its new home. Our grandma tree has many figlets spread far and wide with family and friends. Thank you for demystifying the process. Easy for anyone to have a fig tree !!😊
I'm in Adelaide South Australia,I start my fig cuttings in 60%vermiculite 30,%core file 10%perlite in clear plastic cup's tall cup's are best i scratch the base of the cutting,dip in hormone powder and water in ,l place all cuttings in an old fish tank and cover the top with a sliding piece of perspex germination so far is 95% pot on in late spring when the roots are visible in the clear cup's enjoyed your video.
Very concise and comprehensive, thank you for making the point with regard your percentages of potting mix, compost, and coconut matting. a lot of information packed into a very few minutes. Big thanks :) (John, Perth, Western Au')
Thank you for your video tutorial. Have you tried to start fig tree cuttings in just rain water? I have had 90% success with it and made a couple videos as well. Also, what is your favorite fig tree to get cuttings? For me it is the Brown Turkey Fig, but I am going to try Nero & Celeste next.
I had literally just told myself yesterday that I needed to look up how to do cuttings from my fig tree! I’m going to have to check out your other info too - the growth you achieved in a year is impressive. Mine has done really well, but I think the record snowfall we got here in southwest Arkansas the end of winter last year took a toll on it. I did get a decent amount of figs this year, but not as much overall growth as I expected. Thank you for another great video. 🙂
Very nice short presentation. While bringing in my Golden Riverside two protect from frost a small branch broke off. I took it to the house, cut the end, scrapped the bark, dipped in Root-tone and put in a plastic bag with growing medium. three weeks later, leaves are just starting. I think too much is made out of propagating figs, this young man takes that mystique out of that. Thank you, E
Thanks, we're transplanting a Violetta d'bourdeau fig thats under shade to a better location and I will take cuttings too! This is just what I needed to know to ensure success.
I just pruned a lower branch, just as you did, & I was hoping to grow another tree. You video is perfect. I only need to get some cococore (sp) but I am going to the store for some fish... in the morning, just add one more item. Thank you so very much, wonderful video :-)
Hi Jag, I have learnt a lot from your videos. I like this video too and I have some questions to clarify with you. I am trying to grow the stem cutting in water now as I failed twice growing them in soil. 1) Is there a difference to put fig tree stem cutting in water or soil? 2) What is the reason to score the bark of the cutting? 3) How about watering? Do you water it before putting the plastic cover and water only after 7 days after your remove the plastic cover? Then how do you water after removing the plastic? I always have issues with watering. 4) How about sunlight? Do you put the cuttings in the sun, near the window with indirect sunlight or in shaded area? And for how long before you allow it to grow in the sun? Thanks so much!
Goats!! Got out for ten minutes and bee-lined right to my little fig tree and almost completely girdled it. The lead branch lives. I'm going to clone it-- but lil figgy need prayers y'all! Thanks, Jag. You're the homesteaders go-to guy
Hey Jag, do you think that fig tree cuttings respond to love and respect? You have a great rapport with these fragile lives, and you bring out their best potential. Your creation of the optimal environment for each cutting is a wonderful metaphor, for how teachers should encourage and care for all those, under their care. 🙏. I am now subscribed
I was going to buy 4 pack of different kinds of figs off Amazon...... But jus now when I was leaving a friend's i saw a fig tree on the side of my friend's house.... I jumped out the Uber car and took some cuttings. My friend knows that I'm that weird person that's gonna play in random garden... My friend and my Uber driver had a good laugh at me. I'm gonna use your methods to toot them. Thanks.!
I live in Norther Arkansas and have a winter season, where and how do I store the cuttings after I place the plastic over the top and once it begins t grow? Thank you for the tips and video I have been wanting to take cuttings from my figs for a while now.

Haha, read your mind! Yes in snow fig trees will suffer and need to be protected.
@@DaisyCreekFarms is this the fastest way to grow fig cuttings?

Goats!! Got out for ten minutes and bee-lined right to my little fig tree and almost completely girdled it. The lead branch lives. I'm going to clone it-- but lil figgy need prayers y'all! Thanks, Jag. You're the homesteaders go-to guy
It's the lead branch... should I just see if it survives?
Thank you for this guide
Great video thanks
Thank you! You are truly a gift to us all. My goats girdled my fig tree and it is NOT doing well
Will they grow in western colorado
Hi Jag I saw my cousin doing that with the fig plant to you and your family stay safe bye.
Awesome video and thanks for sharing this helpful information!
Awesome as usual, Jag. Which are the biggest, sweetest fig types to grow? You're the man!

Thanks for the video. Going to try this!
I will try this. Thank You.
Thanks for sharing your amazing advice 🙏🙏
Very usefull info. Thank you.
Thank you! I enjoy your videos!!!! :)
Do you water them while they are on the tree pots?
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!!
Should I leave the plant in the pot and keep it in door if I miss the spring time transplant to ground?
Great, thank you!!

When and how often do you add water? Is there a specific time to do the cutting? Thanks for any advice!
Thank you so much! Might of missed this. Do you keep the cuttings in shaded area?
I usually do it when it’s fruiting, so I get a miniature fruiting tree which I find is pretty cool.
Very useful, thanks a lot!
Subbed and liked. Amazing. I have a big fig tree probably 20 years old I want to propagate.
Thanks for the sub!
@@DaisyCreekFarmsHI. Sorry, this may be dumb question, but before you cover in plastic, how much do you water it?
