This video along with a cup of coffee just made my morning! Thank you , we appreciate your videos!!!
I just planted a bunch of these at my house. They are fascinating plants. The figs I ate were in Italy. Fig on pizza is incredible. I am growing fig and peach trees.
who in the world gave thumbs down? I guess some not happy that you weren't slurping figs in this video. Another great video
another informative video; thanks Lou! I have some San Pedro figs including Dessert King but seldom get temperatures above 75 F so ripening may be an issue for me although our season is long
Thank you and thanks for watching! Lou Monti
I love the longer videos! haha
Have you noticed any issue planting them that close to the house? I planted one really close to the fence line and may need to move it towards the side of the house.
Hi lou i have one fig in the ground what i did to do for my fig tree grows tall plese let me know thanks lou
Would love to see a video of how you prune your celeste tree in the fall..
Y'all don't have pollinators in Jersey? 😮 You can take the giant wasps we have from TX if you want. 😅 We'll keep the cute bumble bees though.
If they didn't ripen...and you pop them off why do they ripen later? Dont understand......
I'm sorry that your unable to understand about the San Pedro fig fruiting characteristics. You might want to read up on the subject, carefully, and study the facts about this interesting classification of fig trees. Thanks for watching! Lou Monri
Hello Lou is Brooklyn white is a San Pedro type and needs a wasp for the main crops
No it is not a San Pedro type. It produces a main crop without Caprification. Take care. Lou Monti
I am inland in California. Loving the figs and still learning. I had hoped to plant my Celeste between our house and the neighbors but read all figs have very invasive roots and will crack foundations and driveways. Do you know something different ?
Not in my extensive experience! Additionally, you may want to read up on whether or not any local growers have been successful with Celeste in your particular area in California. There are regions in your state where Celeste doesn't fair well. Good luck! Lou Monti
beautiful trees Lou! Peter''s Honey, Improved Celeste, and Nero 600m...a few Mt. Etna's. if someone had just those several varieties in the NE they would be set. I love good honey and sugar figs, but bordeaux types, perfectly ripened, are the best figs I've tried.
Hi, Paul. I'm a firm believer that finding just a few of the best performing fig trees in a growers climate is the best overall strategy for most enthusiasts. As for myself, I became smitten with a fig fascination early in life and I have maintained quite a few varieties over the years. I have struggled many times to reduce my collection to the most practical, best performers, and I have eliminated a very large number of unsuitable varieties. Currently, I have it down to about 20 or so, most of which are very good performers, but there is still room for further cutbacks, as it is simply too much work to properly care for that many fig varieties. For the average home grower, I would firmly reccomend limiting a collection to only a few appropriate suitable, reliable, productive, and tasty fig varieties. Take care! Lou Monti
Hello. Do you have a video on your wrapping? Do you sell from your prunings?
Yes, your welcome to take a look. Thanks for watching! Lou Monti
My figs started to ripen a few weeks ago! I live in Europe in the Netherlands, definitely a humid cold climate. Last year we had 3 waves of ripes figs! Late june, in August and end of September early October. The birds definitely eat most of my figs though. I'm not sure what veriaty i have. Any tips on identifying the type? They are very big and ripen to a brown red color.
Hi, Michelle! To be certain, it's probably best to view some comparative fig video's on You Yube to look for an accurate example of your variety. Regarding the birds, I have discussed this problem in several of my videos and I've had some very good results. Don't get discouraged, with a little bit of inquiry, you will soon learn how to control the birds and to be able to harvest a bit of the crop for yourself, as well! Lol
Hi Michelle, your fig is probably the Brown Turkye (the most common fig in the Netherlands with this colour). This fig is well-known for its productivity and hardness in wintertime (-15 C°), therefore it is a perfect fig for your climate.
Look forward to your video on generic drift.
Hi Lou I’m Saif from NYC wondering how u going to discard your massive cuttings end of this season? pls help us to get some mighty Celest / Peter’s honey fig cuttings when end of the season u do cut it harshly pls? Let me know I’ll come to pick it up and help u to cut those as a helping hand or email u pre-paid Label to add same variety u have cause I’m your big fig Orchard fan. I need your support to get those special variety pls. Thx bunch in advance Lou!! I appreciate and honor your efforts you do to encourage North East region fig growers like myself!!
If the San Pedro brebas won't ripen without the fig wasp, how is it supposed to ripen next year?,
That was never really talked about.
The figs that I was removing in the video were main crop figs. The Breba, not the main crop, will ripen on San Pedro type fig trees without Caprification, as explained in the video. Take care. Lou Monti
@@loumonti10 Thanks Lou
I thought were supposed to prune our fig trees annually to have fruits?
Hi there! I generally thin out unwanted, unproductive branches every year, but heavy pruning isn't necessary that often, especially with certain types. Lou Monti
I love to eat some figs cold, some colder, some just straight from the tree. Its a bit like beer. I like IPA ice cold, strong dark beer just chilled a bit, Lager just cold.
Good video Lou, it seems like the san pietro is kind of a waste in the north east , unless you have extra space .
Good morning, Rocco. You are confusing the variety San Pietro with the term, San Pedro, which is used to describe a certain unique, small, group of figs. On the contrary, San Pedro types are an excellent choice for the North East, as they produce a very large Breba crop which ripens early, during the most favorable part of Summer conducive to high fig quality. However, if you have limited in ground space, an appropriate variety, capable of ripening a main, second) crop, would be a better choice. Take care! Lou Monti
@@loumonti10 I have a fig tree that i purchased localy that is called San Pietro by the nursery , and was wondering if its what you are talking about needing the wasp to get a main crop? The nursery is City Farm Nursery in Roslindale ,Mass. fig trees . net .
I disagree..I love you Lou, but.....I think figs are best at room temperature. The cold temperature overshadows the taste.
Individual diversity, in many ways, helps to make our world a more interesting place! Taste, in deed, is a very subjective, personal experience. Bottom line! We both love figs! Haha...lol! Take care! Lou Monti
I would love some cuttings from your Celeste.
