An update on my fig collection. My fig orchard is shaping up and soon I will be able to publish detailed videos on the best fig varieties I have. Don’t forget to like and subscribe to help the channel grow. Share the video and leave a comment. I will try to answer as many questions as I can. Thanks for watching.
Can’t wait for the updated version of the rooting method!! Your current method gave me 100% rooting success but I struggled a bit with the transplanting …from what you show here that might change now!! Love your video material …so systematic and clear…thank you very much for your courses 🙏🏻
That's wonderful! Easing the transplant phase was one of my goals when refining my method, along with ensuring a more uniform level of humidity for the development of the young roots. The video should be ready by the end of the month.
@@JSacadura Já trocamos impressões antes, eu aqui a 6 km de Aveiro, tenho algumas árvores que o Jaime tem, incluindo 2 variedades de figos, ainda não tenho kiwis amarelos, e tenho outras árvores das Américas, como por exemplo abacateiros, anoneiras, goiabeira, pitangueira..todas a produzir ao ar livre. Tenho aprendido muito sobre enxertos consigo! Só não uso Parafilm porque não sei em que loja online é que posso comprar. Onde é que o Jaime manda vir os seus rolos de Parafilm?
Olá, Nelson. Cada vez está mais difícil de arranjar. Os últimos rolos que comprei vieram dos USA (da Amazon). Também se encontram no Ebay. Procurar por "parafilm nursery grafting tape". O ideal é fazer uma "vaquinha" com alguém e mandar vir uma caixa de 12 rolos para compensar o custo dos portes e direitos (acaba por nem sair caro por rolo). Também tenho uma pitangueira a produzir ao ar livre, mas a goiabeira ia morrendo com o frio. Tive que a colocar na estufa para ver se recupera. Abacateiros ainda não tentei (também por algum receio com o frio invernal).
Olá, obrigado pelo vídeo, o "tema" figueiras interessa-me pelo que descreveu em cima. Também gostava de ter 350 variedades, mas só tenho 16, espero vir a ter mais. Aguardo pelos próximos vídeos, é sempre bom aprender com que sabe.
Os seus filmes são realmente fantásticos. Já lhe enviei algumas questões mas até hoje sempre sem resposta. Continuação da partilha desses vídeos excelentes. Bem haja.
Lamento a falta de respostas anteriores. São tantas mensagens que não há hipótese de responder a tudo. Teria que dedicar algumas horas por dia. Normalmente apenas consigo responder nos primeiros dias após a publicação de cada vídeo. Obrigado pelo comentário.
Olá. Lamento. Por enquanto ainda não. Ainda estou na fase de avaliar quais são as melhores variedades. Muitas das que têm maior potencial ainda nem sequer produziram, pelo que não tenho informação suficiente sobre as suas características.
Great video! With so many fig trees alone in addition to your expansive pome and stone fruit orchard, do you sell a portion of your fruit at the market? To have access to such a great variety of fruit must be very pleasant across the seasons. Cheers
I keep my trees quite small so fruit production is not overwhelming (the heavy clay on my apple orchard stuns the growth, even with vigorous rootstocks). For now family, friends, cider, jams, preserves, etc, use up all production.
Unfortunately most fig varieties need a longer summer to develop fully. Probably, about a third of the varieties I am growing won't show it's true potential in my area (zone 9a near the ocean - too much humidity).
With the limited space for so many varieties I place them 2,5 meters apart. Not ideal, but if you keep the size controlled with pruning, is enough for the tree to develop enough to show it's true potential, regarding fig quality.
Really looking forward to the new fig videos. Planted my first fig trees 1 year ago. I'm ready for more information! Especially details about pollination needs
Dear JSacadura. Thanks a lot for your videos. I'm learning a lot. I bought several very old, wide, tall, neglected and thick-barkened almond trees. Which grafting technique do youbreccomend me to change the variety? Thanks again!
For older trees the bark graft technique is difficult to beat. Check some examples of bark grafting, including almond trees, in this video - ruclips.net/video/FwzclXcI7NE/видео.html
I tapped the thumbs up button to feed the algorithm monsters.... Question: Why didn't you plant the trees with a small mound instead of slightly below the level clay. Won't the clay hold water and rot the root? Thank you.
The type of soil in my fig orchard is a bit more tricky than that (in most areas there's a sandy layer below the clay). I have more problems with young trees dying out in the summer than I do with waterlogged roots in the winter, so I decided against planting them in a mound.
Man I'm faccinating about T-budding tecnic. Exist some cattalog or books who teach us what tree can be fit (patched) with another Tree? For exemplo: Mango tree can be T-budding with orange, torange ...? If yes please tel me where I can download it. If not please guive to me a north where I can learn.
Grafting only works between compatible plants (usually within the same species - but, in some cases, within the same Genus). There are exceptions. You can graft Pear on Quince, but not Orange on Plum, for instance. There are some websites that have a list of compatibility between fruit types. Search using those terms and you will find them. Here's one to start you off - growingfruit.org/search?q=graft%20compatibility
i have 4 different varieties of fig trees that are all parthenocarpic (three of them from a nursery and one a cutting from a tree). but my problem is, they dont produce fruits. is it possible because i have to cover them from november to late april cause of freezing temperatures that can occure in that time in germany? is it than too late for them to produce fruits?
Since they are covered for most of the growing season there may not be enough time for figs to develop. Try pinching the tips, so vegetative growth is stopped. That tends to speed up fig development. You can check my video on the subject here - ruclips.net/video/iutB8se2rgo/видео.html
Sorry, not for the time being. I'm still evaluating, so I don't have enough information on more than half of my fig varieties (many have not produced yet).
It’s going to partially depend on your climate and what performs best there. Availability is also something to consider. Are you purchasing locally or online? Local selection may be limited but they also usually carry the most reliable varieties for that given climate.
Matty is right. Growing the best fig varieties or any fruit variety for that matter is really determined by the zone you are in. A wonderful fig variety that matures in early September in zone 10 will never produce nothing worthwhile in zone 7/8 since it won't have enough heat to mature fully.
Gostava imenso de entrar em contacto consigo para lhe poder comprar umas estacas para enxertar nas figueiras velhas que tenho. Como consigo entrar em contacto consigo?
Olá. Ainda estou na fase de avaliar quais são as melhores variedades. A maior parte das figueiras da minha coleção ainda não produziram e são as que têm o maior potencial. Vale a pena esperar um pouco. Pode contactar-me através do email do canal, mas não prometo resposta rápida que as solicitações são demasiadas para quem começou agora a gozar a merecida reforma. 😉
At the beginning of your video you talked about losing trees in the winter is this because of rain if it is, you should not be putting that potting soil in that part of that hole before you plant that tree and that soil is going to fill up with water and not drain that’s the reason your tree is drowning
What I mentioned is a problem on my apple orchard. On the area I planted the figs it's slightly different, as the layer of clay is thinner and the soil is sandy below it. In that area I have more problems with trees drying out in the summer and no problems in the winter. That's why I don't remove the potting soil when planting my fig trees. Thanks for the comment and the advice.
Yes. I'm in Portugal. I have a few favorite varieties (most national varieties are very good), but my potentially best fig varieties are still very young, so my favorites might change in a couple of years. Next summer I might do a couple of videos describing a few varieties.
I tend to avoid using fungicides in my fig trees. Rust fungus is usually not a big problem over here and most fig trees can outgrow it, if they are developing well. If a tree is heavily affected, I control the fungus spores during the dormant season with a mix of lime and copper sulfate ("bordeaux mixture" or "calda bordalesa" as it's know over here, a mix that's been used for centuries to control fungal fruit trees diseases in the dormant season).
Please please! Add charcoal! Charcoal is the only PERMANENT fertilizer and they used it to build Terra Preta thousands of years ago. And I see you faced the low branches south, well done.
Это конечно прикольно. Парень жалуется на сухой климат, плохую землю и т.д. При этом инжир у него растёт в открытом грунте. Чувак, приезжай ко мне на Южный Урал, где зимой до - 35с, и тепла совершенно недостаточно для выращивания инжира. И тем не менее я выращивают инжир, в траншее, с весенним и осенним укрытием. Чтобы не было проблем с саженцами инжира - не сади их в большие контейнеры, но это замедляет рост. У меня растут инжиры сортов преимущественно с урожаем бребы ибо фиги как правило не успевают вызревать. Удачи.
This is certainly cool. The guy complains about the dry climate, bad soil, etc. At the same time, his figs grow in open ground. Dude, come to me in the Southern Urals, where in winter it gets down to -35C, and there is absolutely not enough heat to grow figs. And yet I grow figs in a trench, with spring and autumn shelter. To avoid problems with fig seedlings, do not plant them in large containers, as this slows down growth. I grow figs of varieties mainly with a breba harvest, because figs usually do not have time to ripen. Good luck. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Это все относительно. Я жалуюсь, потому что по сравнению с моими условиями мои коллеги в Алгарве (на юге Португалии) находятся в идеальном месте, с доступом к инжирной осе и опылению, а также к теплу, позволяющему собирать инжир позже ( в сентябре). Здесь этот инжир даже не дозревает. Там, на Урале, даже эту культуру не производят. Есть португальская поговорка: «Я хорошо справляюсь с проблемами других людей» - не знаю, как ее перевести, но это значит, что мы редко беспокоимся о чужих проблемах, нас интересуют только свои собственные. It's all relative. I complain because compared to my conditions, my colleagues in the Algarve (in the south of Portugal) are in an ideal location, with access to the fig wasp and pollination, and the warmth that allows for later (September) harvesting of figs. Here, these figs don't even ripen. There, in the Urals, they don't even produce this crop. There is a Portuguese proverb: "Com o mal dos outros, posso eu bem" - I don't know if it will translate, but it means that we rarely worry about other people's problems, we are only interested in our own.😉

I'm all time watcher since recent time of your wonderful videos. It would be interesting to watch your next videos about a pollination of figs.
Stay tuned, Alexander. I will try to publish it in December.
Good job! I also finally planted my orchard of figs this year. 👍

Sir, could you please guide me on how to identify flower buds? During dormancy, all the buds look the same, and I find it hard to tell them apart.
In most fruit trees, as a rule, flower buds are rounder. Wood buds are pointier.
I tapped the thumbs up button to feed the algorithm monsters....

Best variety of fig?
