LOVE FIGS ❤
so nice yard
Good to see someone else who lives in Indiana growing figs I just started last year with a few varieties
Where are at?

Just north of Indianapolis a small town called Cicero
Everything is looking great
Thanks much Avery!
Nice collection of trees. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you.
Nice collection. This is my first year growing figs. Good to see what they will eventually grow to be. Can you explain open eye and closed eye on figs?
Open eye vs closed eye.
It just means the ostiole can be open or closed. Closed eyes do better in humid or rainy environments to help it keep from spoiling.
@@alveygardens Thank you!
That’s an awesome collection!!! Btw, what size are those red pots, and where could I get them?!
It sounds like you’re not getting many figs before the trees go dormant. Do you know of anyone in your area further along than you who can tell you what your expected yield per tree will be? I ask because I’m in zone 7a and would like to plant a fig tree but only if the yield is worth the garden space.
Thanks!
I got bit by the fig bug in the early summer of 2022, when my son introduced me to the tree/bush in the backyard of where he was renting. I took a cutting in August and rooted it. I planted it in ground in June 2022. I don't know what variety it is. I also bought a Chicago Hardy and planted it in ground as well. I am EXTREMELY new to fig growing and would really like to know how to properly care for my bushes/trees. They have not grown any where near the amount that yours have. Where are you learning your information from? I can barely get answers from "Google" and I don't know anyone who knows anything about figs. Is there a resource you'd recommend?
Well,
I would say the one secret to the success of my figs is multi fold.
1. soil. So far I only have used promix organic. It is treated with lime and has an agent from prevents hydrophobic soil.
2. BIG POTS. At this point now. I have learned any figs in pots. the bigger the pot the better the tree will do. ANY trees I keep in pots will be in 20 gallons or more. ALL the trees I have in 5 gallon pots didnt grow nearly as well as the 10 gallon. Those in 10g didn't grow as well as those in 20 gallon etc...
3. I only use natural fertilizers. No chemicals. All chemical fertilizers kill biology in the soil. Biology of the soil is how plants feed. I use rabbit poo, compost, leaf mold, fish emulsion, and kelp.
I hope this information helps you.
What’s your growing zone and are you going to cover them in winter?
Zone 6b and all the new trees that have been in ground less than a year will get covered w a garbage can filled with dry leaves. But I am going to test 1 older tree with no pruning and only heavy mulch over the root ball.
Is it me or is the Panama Purple not so very purple?
It has some purple to it! Just not solid purple.
Where are the nursery?
Southern Indiana
Can I plant them in ground in spring?
Yes, But it depends on the variety and your zone
