Hi Charles! Your way of explaining things is so educational yet entertaining that I find myself retaining knowledge without even trying. This video, as are the rest, is excellent. I actually received one of the Grandpa Samaan's green fig cuttings and can't wait for it to grow. Do you by any chance know the variety or country of origin? Thanks!
Hello Adam, Thank you SO MUCH for that compliment! I remember my Grandpa Samaan telling me that he was traveling (on behalf of the Jordan government) through one of the Eastern European countries-- I think it was Hungary or Romania. He love the figs he ate there so much, that he brought cuttings home to Jordan, and from there to Los Angeles in the late 60's. Growing up, I only had green figs not knowing that Black Missions & Brown Turkey options existed... then Tiger Panache... and from there, the world of unlimited varieties of figs got introduced to me. Still learning every day, and every year! Thanks for being a part of our family by growing some of our family trees!! Keep me posted on your fig growing successes! Charles :-)
@@IVOrganic Hey Charles. Just wanted to let you know that of the three varieties that I received, your Grandpa's variety was by far the quickest to root. Thanks again for such an awesome variety.
Wow! I ordered 2 new varieties from @thetexasboys and since I have a 5 year old well established tree, I'll graft several of my new figs onto it. Thank you for all the educational info you share.
I’m planning on grafting several varieties of figs onto 2 container root stock figs. If the scions are figs that fruit and ripen at different times, do any problems arise?
Hi Charles! I have been watching ur videos and I know is not about blueberries today but I have some of them and the new growth is very not yellow but almost a white. The ph is 4-5 . Also I applied holly tone from espoma for annual fertilizer and my mix is canadian peat most/ potting soil from foxfarm happy frog and much is compost with little pine bark. And am applying sulphur from espoma.can u tell me what am doing wrong with this plant.i live in Central texas
Great question! The answer is: No. The tree size will still be about the same & the grafting wounds will heal to be as strong (if not stronger- like when people break & heal a bone) within 2-3 years. You can expect as much, if not more fruit due to the added benefits of cross-pollination between the varieties in such close proximity. I may allow these grafts to support some fruit in this 1st year (for demonstration purposes) although it’s highly frowned upon because the added weight from fruit in the year could injure the 1st year graft wounds. Stay tuned for the results! Charles 🌱👍
It was "freezing" here in Los Angeles today too-- sweater & jacket weather! 😂 This lesson was recorded 2 weekends ago when the weather was mid-70's to mid-80s all week. There are 2 more grafting lessons to be published in the upcoming week by some pros from the California Rare Fruit Growers organization-- must see lessons! Stay tuned! Charles :-)
Nice video. I am in the middle of starting my own mix. I have, black mission and kadota fig. But is there another way to enter the giveaway plz. I have NO (Instagram, Facebook, OR Twitter) and would really like some cutting. I live in AZ, Phoenix. Thx

I really love how you explain the science-based aspect to achieve the outcome.
I’m glad you enjoyed this lesson! 🤩 I always try to bring my science background into each IV Organic lesson. THANK YOU for your support!
Charles 🌱👍
thanks for the advise! just in time when we were deciding to graft for the first time!

Hey, Charles love ur I v organic product. My sister gave me a fig tree from the Holy Land. How would I find what kind of fig tree I have?

If we graft too many different variety of fruits into a single rootstock, will the tree gets weaker, doesn't produce too much fruits?
