Benefits of Properly Timed Up Potting

I like to up pot before they become root bound but after the pots are filling up nicely with thick white roots. This usually results in continued vigorous growth vs stalled growth.

*I accidentally said that these were started in the fall. All 4 of these were started at the same time in January or February 2021

I'd do anything to walk your orchard just one day. Yes, I said day as in an entire day. 😁 Keep doing what you're doing brother, it helps us all newbies learn.

Good video. My experience is similar. I usually up-pot from a 4x9 to a 5 gallon and typically see 6-8 feet of growth with regular fertilizing. The 4x9 stay small and I like that since my copies are there to give away or store as a back-up.

This really shows the benefit of uppotting at the right time 👍This year I was just happy that my fig tree made it through the winter. (We had -15 C / 5 F and the plant was in a pot on the terrace, the part that was covered in a thick layer of leaves 🍂🍁🍂 survived. )

Would love to see how you do the grafting on the unrooted cutting. Thank you for sharing

And when is that right time? That question still lingers, and we are holding on tight to our seats waiting for the answer.

Good morning sr, I am watching your videos about on potting fig trees . I have never seen fig trees so healthy and full of figs. They are the (BEST OFF THE BEST) are you mr. Eric Durtschi from California? .

I too have seen the same results. Correctly timed up potting is key for strong growth.

Awesome looking trees Eric! I have couple of air layers cooking for you! 😘

For your drip line there laying over the top of the pot, do you just puncture a single hole near the trunk?

Also....do you have any information about the Roscoff Caprifig variety ?

[claudiososa]

what do you fertilize it with and how often

May I ask you what brand of 25 gal pot do you use? Might you have a link ? Thanks

I have three honey figs under a 1000 watt high pressure sodium about 8 in high growing like crazy two branches on each one. In half gallon grow bags going to 3 gallons

Did you do any pinching to promote lateral branching?
