You’re right! I put some figs in the ground and some in pots.
All like your size, the potted ones are huge! Compared to the ones in the ground.

My fig tree I got from you I put in a 5 gallon bucket for the first year and then planted it out last spring. It's now loaded with figs. Wish they would ripen already. 😀

The pulled up fig root I told you about that my friend gave me … is doing incredibly well in the pot - now that it’s past the shock! And out of 6 cuttings I took from a different fig that was gifted to me by my neighbor- 4 are sprouting leaves! 😳😃

[telasims]

I've been dying to see the Brown Turkey after y'all pruned it.. looks like you remembered to water it !! I love the pruning videos, I get so excited to see the growth the following season..

[Redus]

I love it when you fig around .
Thanks for all your great info.
Don’t give up on that brown turkey log. .. it will root, just needs more time .

[TexasNana]

I've really been looking forward to the update on the fig log cutting. Thanks so much for the update on all of your figs 😊

My figs are in pots. I up pot as soon as I get a tree. 15 gallon seems about right. I like being able to move things around as things change.

[lauras]

great video. my potted brown turkey fig has got a bunch of figs on it. I'm super excited to get a harvest this year.

I just up-potted my Conadria I got from you a year ago from a 2 gallon pot to a 10 gallon pot. It’s pretty large and full of figs. I knew I couldn’t go into the summer with that small pot. I was very careful with it and didn’t lose any figs from up-potting. I also tented it with a fruit tree bag so that I could enjoy the figs this year instead of the birds.

I put my Olympian in a pot. I have had a petite negra since 2022 in a pot. I have up potted it each spring. Each year it gets a little bigger and produces more. Super delicious, can’t wait till next year to try the Olympian. Planning to put it in the ground spring 2024 or 2025.

I have plenty of house plants. I can't wait to grow a fig in a pot. I have a Chicago hardy here in north Missouri in ground outside and basically I'm just growing a plant. It's come back for 3 yrs and nothing. I just have gave up on figs I guess for my area. I can't wait to grow one and take it inside

[marysurbanchickengarden]

I have one in a pot that has grown about three feet since Spring.

[dwardodwardo]

Thanks for the log update. Can I suggest an experiment? If folks pot up the figs, should they think of air pruning? How would you feel about testing that out for us? ;)

[RonnieMinh]

Love your channel, thanks! We are growing figs out in Littlefield Arizona.

[PlantObsessed]

Zone 5 and all mine are in 5 gallon pots. I drag them to the basement every November. I do alright. My hip high fig forest. Lol

[SCPadventures]

Will these fig tree”s handle freeze template here in sw Idaho 😅

[JohnDeWeese-lqpf]

Some areas in the South (like North Carolina) can have nematodes (little worms) that kill fig trees. 90% of my fig trees (about 200) are started in 5 gallon buckets. Then the next year they go to a ten gallon, and then either in the ground or to a 25 gallon tree pot. The biggest thing in pots is that you need to make sure and add new soil every year. Mulch with pine bark or some other mulch, and make sure you give them water after three or four days of drying out. The pots make water almost repellent, and you will need to water regularly, This year I got the best breba figs ever. All the LSU varieties (Gold, Champagne, Celeste, Scotts black, O'Rourke) produced heavy Spring figs, and the November crop are loaded and should be huge. (Yes, you can get TWO crops of figs in a year).
I have a Lyndhurst White fig, Travis, that you have got to try!!! It tastes peachy!! No lie.
Thanks for the videos and keep on growing.

I have three fig trees in five gallon pots that live outdoors in the summer and fall but I move em into the greenhouse for winter cause although we’re in Arizona our elevation is 5500 feet and it can get down to 15 degrees and snow over a foot. I just trim out the center growth and they make fruit.
