My uncle is a master in fig growing. Behind our house in Lebanon we have a fig tree and he grafted 4 different thpes of figs on a single tree. It’s amuzing to watch the same tree giving different types of figs at different times of the year.

Thank you. We just moved into a house that has two fig trees in the backyard. I know nothing beyond Fig Newtons. :D After watching this video the first time I went out and picked my very first ripe fig. Now I am watching again as a beginner. I appreciate the information.

When I was a kid we had a fig. It was huge and made such a large crop that you could never pick them all. The birds and squirrels were all fat and happy.

My grandmother had three fig trees and would eat them. I disliked them as a little kid, now I understand how wonderful it was as you never see that anymore. This was in Florida.

I got a Fig Tree 2 years ago and have it planted in a 20inch pot on my drive way here in Maryland and it is producing fruit and surviving the winters. I feed it regularly with water from my African Cichlid tank.

Very informative video. Not sure I would've titled it *Beware of this type of fig ..., * though. I thought there was a poisonous variety or something!

I live in the San Joaquin Valley in California, near Fresno, and we grow lots of figs here, both commercially and back yard. I think that all figs are terrific!!

[greenbananas]

Golly Thank you! I thought 1; fruit dropping because I live in a VERY hot desert area. 2: because it's been in a large pot for a few years. You just changed my life!! Smiles.

I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I have a small yard. My fig tree is actually a bush called Little Miss Figgy. She has a nice breda crop and an amazing full season crop. The figs are black and delish. My fig will never be enormous (she lived in a pot until a windstorm tossed her across the yard and snapped her taproot) but she suits me to a T.

Thanks for the video. I am always looking for more info on this marvelous fruit.

A YT channel devoted entirely to figs. This is something I need and didn't know you existed until right now. This will be both fun and educational. Thanks!

I watched a documentary and it said that fig trees are about the most valuable tree in the world for tropical wildlife.
Also, ‘Fig’ was said to refer to a tree that makes fruit with no flowers (the tiny wasp going into a place on the tree to pollinate it.)

[rodkingston]

The fig fruit is actually a composite fruit, like a raspberry or blackberry, comprising many flowers, later fruitlets, all joined together. But with the fig, it's turned inside out, so the flowers/fruitlets are inside! So the fig wasp gets inside the hole in the base of the fruit to pollinate it.

"Celestial fig"
In 89/90, I met a Chinese family recently moved to the US. I helped load some boxes on the truck. They gave me something the daughter called "Celestial fig" I've never seen another like it. Small golden fig, tastes like honey.

Every fig grower should watch this video.

[pamelalalaable]

Thank you! I never realised that growing figs was so complicated!

In the process of making fig preserves and strawberry figs today. So delicious and perfect in the winter.

Every year a squirrel and myself have a race as to who is going to get to my figs first. If I pick them too soon they're not sweet enough and if I wait to long Mr squirrel gets them.

I fell asleep watching this and had to watch it again once I woke up. Thank you for this information!

I inherited several fig saplings from a nursery owner who passed away and I have attempted to raise them, they are about 4-6 years old but small still in pots. We live in a cold climate and they go inside or in a garage in the winter. They are common figs and I’ve seen a couple grow, but it’s obvious I have no idea what I’m doing so I’m glad I found your channel!

Beautifully explained. I have a brown turkey breba that did not do well and now i know why. Thank you
