Introduction (0:00):
This fig season is shaping up to be the best yet
Greenhouse Success (00:28):
Potted fig trees in greenhouses have been awake, growing, and thriving since early March.
Potential Fig Season Record (00:59):
Even without the potted figs, this could still be the best fig season on record due to where the fig trees currently stand in terms of development
Exponential Benefits (01:30):
Small changes made in spring, such as watering and feeding trees properly, can have huge benefits later in the year.
Warmth Impact (03:15):
The importance of warmer soil for successful fig tree growth. It's a key factor in waking up the trees and boosting their metabolism.
Greenhouse Temperature (04:18):
Observations on greenhouse temperature control, noting that maintaining around 78 degrees Fahrenheit soil temperature is optimal for fig tree growth.
Pruning Impacts (07:05): Preserving the apical and lateral buds can lead to quicker leaf development and earlier fruit production. Pruning in winter and summer can alter the hormone balance in trees, affecting their growth and fruiting patterns.
Vegetative Buds (10:41): The difference between vegetative buds and apical/lateral buds in terms of fruiting capacity and development speed.
Winter Protection (12:22): The winter protection strategy involved bending branches to the ground, staking them, and covering them with wood chips for insulation.
