You are straight to the point I love that, a lot of people in this community tends to be long winded.

I took six cuttings from my Chicago Hardy Fig tree and followed your instructions exactly to get them to root. All six were successful, so I gave some away and am not ready to put the rest in larger containers. Thank ou so much for your clear instructions. I also appreciate the fact that you say WHY you do what you do.

Thanks for the tips. I’ve always wanted a fig tree & have decided to grow one in a pot this year.

Haha found out my dog likes fig leaves after I use fish fertilizer plus when you store it in the garage it brings loads of flies. I need another type 😊

[cherryblossoms]

I have a young fig tree planted in the garden. Very helpful. Thank you for the advices.

If I were to make a mix enough for one 5 gallon container what would the mix amount be for peat, soil, and manure?

Hi, How long can you leave Fig trees in containers before transfer to earth?
How much difference in fruit yield in containers vs. earth? What are the best tasting figs for digestive problems? Thanks.

Im glad i found your channel that gives me an idea on how to grow fig. I live in florida and i cant grow figs. Everytime i buy a plant i ended up killing them or they dont grow. Now maybe i can apply the knowlege i learn from your video and start growing me a healthy and productive fig tree. Are you gonna sell some of your cuttings and are the fig trees you have suitable for Florida weather. Central Florida that is. I didnt know theres that many kinds of fig varieties.. really learn a lot from it. Thank you 😊😊😊

This video was very helpful. How often do you fertilize once you pot up the fig?

[albongardens]

How does this mix do during winter? What do you do with your trees during winter? Just leave them outside and not water or bring them in ? I kept all my plants inside last winter and lost a lot of plants to root rot. I'm trying to find the right mix so I don't lose more plants since I got a Figo preto, i258, and smith this year :)

[JamesJohnson-bqpr]

Your videos are great! Your potting mix is wonderful! Where can I order different fig varieties?

[michaelcharney]
