I grafted scions of Col de dame Mutante and CdD Gegantina last spring. No fruit yet, but the grafts took and I’m hoping I will be able to sample them this summer or fall. 🤞🤞🤞 I recall you describing CdD Gegantina in another video as “this fig does it all.”

I have a turkey fig tree in a container that is now about 7 feet tall and about 7 years old. It looks SO healthy, has lots of branches and leaves and sets a ton of fruit... But all of that fruit falls off before it matures or ripens. The few that do ripen a tiny bit get snagged by an invasive species of squirrel. During the hot summer months I water it twice a day and it gets partial shade, being a few feet from my house. It gets fruit tree fertilizer every spring. I'm in zone 9A but the last few years, winters have had crazy cold snaps and summers have been ridiculously hot. What am I doing wrong not to get any fruit from this tree?

It could be that you need to water more. Especially during the summer. Don't think frequencies. Think gallons. If it's about 7 feet tall you may need 20-30 gallons of water. Even just doing a long big drink would help. I live in Vegas and give my huge mulberries and figs a big long drink once a week in 114°+ a week during that time. Also you should fertilize at least 3 times a year. (Feb/May/Sept at least)Concentrating on phosphorus and potassium for fruiting and flowering. I love to use Neptune's harvest fish bc they use whole fish and it isn't nitrogen dominant. Also langbenite for potassium. You can add the mineral to a 5 gallon bucket and do a drench and then work it into the top layer of soil. Mulch will also help with water retention. I mulch 8-12 inches in the desert. Keep the mulch away from the trunk tho. You can also make your own fertilizer with whole blended bananas and add beneficial microbes. I love probio bc it has pnsb(purple non sulphur bacteria) bc it's amazing and can live anaerobic and aerobically. Looks like shooting stars under the microscope as well😍. Em1 can also do the same but it's just one strain of beneficial bacteria (lactobacillus) whereas probio has more strains and pnsb as well it's less expensive than em1. You use 3/4 cup with 3/4 cup molasses and make a gallon of microbes (let it inoculate for 7-10 days). This is also great to just add to your fertilizer routine bc these beneficial microbes make your fertilizer bio available. Hope this helps! Happy gardening ❤

Its beautiful! I live in a zone 6b so I'm not sure it could survive in ground here I'll have to look into it a bit more.

Big Bill at Off the Beaten Path Nursery in Lancaster, PA, is growing close to 100 figs in ground. That's a cold Zone 6. I'm sure it's doable with proper mulching in an area protected from the north wind. They'll die back every winter, but they'll come back. He uses black weed barrier around them like I do to make things warmer.

This is a late ripening variety, you'd have trouble getting it to ripe in 6b without some pretty early head start, and possibly finish ripening indoors under light and heat.

I've never seen a difference in hardiness between fig varieties. The only thing that matters is earliness. Zone 6 may not have long enough summers to ripen late season figs. It isn't cold hardiness you should be looking for but rather earliness. You want early ripening varieties.

My 1 year old brown turkey fig had started to bud before this last freeze (TX). I should have put lights on it, but I didn't. Will it come back?

Probably. It may die back some. You won’t know til spring. Figs take weeks to show damage sometimes.

Fig wasps are not wasps that you think, and the idea that there are "wasps in figs" is a sensationalized lie: kzitem.info/news/bejne/sp1jk3aImHOpemUsi=DFaMlkAB8hYTrro0
