Splendid knowledge, thanks for sharing it. Congratulations 👍
I finally found a relatable channel since you are also in Los Angeles area. Your videos are SO informative. I have just been given a baby fig tree cutting, so Im gonna be referring back to your videos. Thank you.
Hello Kaidy Kuna,
Thank you for the compliment! And please keep me posted on your success growing your baby fig! Charles :-)
well dang..i just got 4 fig trees lol...hope to make my own graphs in the future thanks to your help
This is such a great demonstration of how to graff!! I'm really good with plants, and I really wanted to learn... Thanks, and your energy level/enthusiasm is great!!
really enjoyed this work of art. saving space/money is fantastic. you should teach grafting classes. a beautiful calling. much love and god,s peace be with you.
Hello Rafiqa11,
It truly is a horticultural art! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for the kind words! I hope you are having a GREAT growing season so far!!! Much love and God's peace to you too! Charles :-)
Your videos always so interesting
Charles, congrats on the grafting success ! I had only heard about such things before but to see a video of it, specially in the initial stages like this, with all the evidence was awesome. Thanks ! :-)
Hello Vinny Chirayil! I am glad you share the excitement with ME! And thank you for following me from the start with this project.... I hope to have a mid or late summer update... hopefully showing off some fruit... Hopefully!!! Charles :-)
Good job Charles I enjoyed your video, You seem like you really have the passion for plants.
This is an excellent video! I didn't know that up to 5 varieties of anything could be grafted onto one root.
Thank you POVPOOL! :-)
As long as they are related, you can graft them. For example, any variety of apples onto and apple rootstock... any type of roses on a rose rootstock... any type of avocado onto an avocado rootstock... and any type of fruit in the prunes genus (such as apricots, cherries, almonds, peaches, nectarines and plums) can all be grafted onto the same rootstock! Thanks for sharing an interest in grafting! Charles :-)
Amazing result! Looking forward to seeing the varieties of figs on that tree.
Thank you Suzanne Du4! :-) I should have another follow up video by mid- later summer. Stay tuned! Charles :-)
I WOULD LIKE TO BUY ONE TREE LIKE THAT AS I LOVE FIGS VERY
MUCH ..
!
when you purchase once, then learn the care, grafting/cloning, grow new plants, get money back, profit, re-selling plants. thank you charles
I love these video updates I’m going to try this out on a smaller scale probably 2 trees with three varieties on each individual tree
Well, im glad to see its taking!
You're going to end up with a nice variety on that tree.
im going to follow along to see how it advances.
Thank you for following us Splash! I should have another update by mid-late Summer. Stay tuned! :-)
Charles
🌻🌱🌻🐝🌻very good Charles! Thanks for the update on the figs, They are going to be excellent nutrition for your family and friends. I love figs, so good and sweet like candy.
Hello Jeannie Griffin,
There was always (summer months) fresh figs on our table from as long as I can remember.... Cannot wait to pick a hundred or so from this 5-in-1 fig in the years to come.... And hopefully may even have a few I can share in a summer update... The grafts are doing GREAT! Charles :-)
Wow you are an amazing gardener!
Thank you so very much for the compliment Au0rey! Charles :-)
Charles, again you made an amazing video. Please set a reminder to send me a 5 in one fig cutting when you trim your new tree. I can't wait to see the different types of gigs you get along with how you will make another 5 in 1 fig tree for more planting.. can you do that with different tomato plants? That would be awesome because some people have very limited space for tomatoes in summer. Can you save seeds of your favorite plants and start it that way? Like a fig tree??
Thank you SO VERY much for the compliment Randy Rosiello! Regarding the fig cuttings... remind me in January as I do my fig pruning in February. Most of my plants are propagated by creating genetically identical plants by way of cutting or air-layering. Planting seeds is like children... all different. The parent plant are typically a one-in-a-million tree selected for fruit quality, consistent yields, etc, etc... A seedling is not likely to be superior to the parent plant, hence the practice of cloning the plant or tree. Charles :-)
Congratulation ! This is real art of grafting and i 'm glad to have
found this channel .Just hope i can experiment such on my Brown Turkey young tree esp.with cold swiss mountain climate above lake :))
That's so cool
This was a great video, well done sir. cant wait to do this with mine.
Thank you for the compliment Jeremy Batsche! Keep me posted on you grafting successes!!! Charles :-)
You are amazing
FrankinFig. I had to say it... nice update.
Hello Joe,
That's for sure... FrankinFig it is! :-)
Charles
Awesome. I now live full time in South Carolina. Unfortunately only one of the fig cutting you sent me made it. I would love to have a 5 in 1 tree cutting so I could have 5 amazing figs in a small space. Also how do I get my 3 year year old fig tree to fruit? Thanks for your amazing videos
Amazing thank you for sharing .
You're welcome Charles Foster! :-)
Charles
Amazing! Love your video!
Good job ... thanks a lot it is very useful .. keep it up
Very nice, thank you for sharing , i love it
Thank you SO MUCH for the compliment Clara! Charles :-)
thank you very much that was a great video
Hello Juan,
I really appreciate the compliment! Thank you! Charles :-)
Very cool. I have a question for you. Is it true that figs grow better in pots because when the roots are tight or constricted the plant produces more figs? Keep me posted. Thanks.
Hi please show us with 5 fruits on the trees how it looks thank you
I wonder if you might create a new "playlist" that includes the whole "going from my grandfather's variety of fig tree to 5 in 1, to 7 in 1, to the final 10 in 1". It's too hard finding them. I still haven't found the one after you cut back the original fig tree to the Y in order to create the branches you were going to graft.
You are a joy to watch. Thank you so much for your very informative videos filled with how to knowledge that is immediately applicable. I need to purchase some of your IV Organics plant paint to coat two trees that have just been pruned. Where might I purchase your product?
lol i like how u advertiae without makin the video feel like an ad..lol..i wilk keep in touch to get a can for the summer
Hello Tariq Binamin,
I'm making a conscious effort to to minimize the "ad" time; however, a significant percent of viewers are seeing these videos for the first time. Thank you for your support! :-)
Charles
Really cool! I wonder if grafting tape would work as well as the fishing line and not cut into the branch.
Hello Richard Bertram,
Thank you for the compliment!!! You Chicago Hardy fig variety graft is doing remarkably well... and has grown at least a foot in the past 30 days! And hopeful that it will set some fruit this later summer!!! Grafting tape is the #1 preferred method for securing the grafting and retaining moisture at the site. The other figs you shared are all thriving in tiny 1/2 pint size pots... graduating slowly into gallons, and so forth... I will share them in my summer update on this grafted tree to compare the vigor between 1st year cuttings and 1st year grafting. Great to hear from you!!! Charles :-)
IV Organic All of the cuttings you sent me are doing well. Tell me more about your Families Fig that you sent, it is a very vigorous.
Hello Richard,
The family fig tree was brought into the US by my grandpa that visited Yugoslavia (or one of those surrounding countries) on a trip about 30+ years ago. I remember my mom planting cuttings of those figs between many of her vegetables that would get some light for the first month only... then shade for 2-3 months, and by summer these figs would come through the tomato bushes over 6-7 feet in height and continue growing through summer and early fall. Very fast growing variety. My grandpa had 8 children and each of them had a tree on their properties growing up. My grandpa always managed to keep his tree close to 7-10 feet (in-ground) by severely pruning each fall. However, most homes that grew this variety (including mine) was kept at 8-10 feet, but would grow to 20+ feet during the growing season, with typically 1 fig per leaf--so obviously very high yielding. The figs are green with a very red interior. Sweet, but not the sweetest....maybe a good thing depending on your pallet. Please keep me posted!
Charles :-)
Thanks to your video I bought myself a fig plant however its only a stick (about 5 feet tall)at the moment with no leaves. Looks quite dead to be honest. will it sprout leaves and branches in spring? Any idea how I can promote the development of branches? I don't want to be left with a single stem plant. Thanks in advance
Dear Charles: How much sun should fig trees actually get during the day in the growing season? I live in Amarillo, TX. We get tons of sun all year, so I've been growing my tree in a large pot. In the winter I bring it inside the garage because we also get the killer north winds where temperatures plummeted to 0 last winter (with a wind chill of -20). Since I started watching your videos and learning about winterizing, I think next spring I can plant my tree in the front of my house which faces south and is protected from the north winds. But that area gets a lot of sun and as I'm learning so much about sun damage through your videos, I want to make sure I don't kill my fig. Thank you for your videos! Please advice.
Just getting into growing figs and I love this idea. How long did it take to graft the two varieties together with the fish wire?
when doing the side graft like that...How long before you remove the fishing line please?
Thank you very much for your great video, I'm in Manchester and I'm wondering when is the best time for grafting and do you know where is the best place place to get different varieties of figs for grafting? Many thanks
thank you for the info. sounds very helpful and i would like to know if this applies for lemon trees as well?
and what is the best time to unwrap the tree from the protection materials? for how long i keep it wraped?
Dear Charles
congratulations for your videos I've learned a lot.
I'm following you from Italy and I'm new to fig cultivation.
I'd like to ask you. If I keep the suckers at the base of a fig tree can it be considered a unique plant and do all the grafting or they are alike 3 or 4 different trees and the roots are in competition?
Thanks for letting me know your opinion.
Grazie
👍👍👍
Will you make available any cuttings from your fig tree that's over 30 years old?
Hello David Roland,
Mark your calendar for January, as I perform most sever pruning in February-- just weeks before the fig buds begin to swell. Also, a great time to plant the cuttings! I'd be happy to share... and I have at least 2 other much smaller container figs from this "parent" fig (clones) that I can share. It's best that you remind me at Info@IVOrganics.com in January (and maybe a second reminder here on CZcams :-)
Charles
Just that friendly reminder as you asked me to do...... I guess over excited to wait 3 more days to remind you concerning the fig cuttings. Will also on IV organic as well
I get nodes but no figs? What should I do
Hi, what figs are the best tasting that can grow here in SoCal?
I’ve been to Mediterranean region and figs there are Heaven...
I’ve planted Brown Turkey and they kinda plane, not juicy, I mean by far not the same as in Greece... any advice is appreciated
Hello D.O. I hope to have a taste test on several of my fig varieties in my garden in the upcoming few weeks, in addition to interviewing 1-3 fig experts that should be published here soon. Stay tuned! I've just started growing (this year) the Strawberry Verte fig which I heard was ranked very high on flavor... another very popular variety is Figo Preto. I personally love the aesthetic beauty of the fruit & flavor of the Panach (a/k/a Tiger) fig which has stripped fruit that taste great! I should have a better response in the upcoming weeks.... Charles :-)
Charles, do you have any nursery in mind, here in SoCal where I could go by that carry these fig trees?
Hello D.O. The owner of the Laguna Hills Nursery (Santa Ana), Gary, is VERY knowledgeable on fig trees and usually has a huge selection to choose from. They also carry IV Organic product there. Another one of my favorites is Armstrong Nursery as they can special order just about any tree & size. Let me know what you end up getting!! Charles :-)
ever thought about working for a commercial cannabis producer? let me know
Hello Dylon,
E-mail me at Info@IVOrganics.com Charles
Great video, what would be the recommended grafting season in southern cali (San Diego).
Hello Joey Yakeera,
Thank you for the compliment! :-) The approach grafting method works best when the plants grafted are active, so spring, summer and maybe early fall. Most professionals rely on the "bud grafting" technique in the fall. Late winter, you can accomplish the splice, whip-n-tongue, crown, etc methods. I love the approach grafting because the success rate is something close to 99%.... you just graft them and watch them heal. Once the callous cambium tissues are formed, your done! Keep me posted on your grafting successes! Charles :-)
Hi, do you Know where i van buy some avocado scion and who Will ship to Norway ?
i would very much like to have cuttings of black mission figs but im unable to find anyone in the UK who has them :(
Hello Tom,
I've always found a good selection on Amazon... however, the better time to purchase would be December/ January to start your cuttings. Let me know if you find a site that sells cuttings in the UK. Charles :-)
Hi charles unfortunately there is no sellers in the uk that sell black mission fig only in america and the postage costs are very high
How can I get my fig tree to start making digs. It is small and growing 2 stems with leaves?
Hello Randy Rosiello,
Just keep caring for it, as you have been doing. Water when the soil gets dry, but never bone try. Never keep the soil too damp either, as that can cause root rot. Fertilize with an organic granular fertilizer in the spring, summer and early fall. And then just wait.... as it gets bigger and stronger, you will reap the gain! It can take 1-3 years depending on the vigor of the fig tree/ variety. Please keep me posted! Charles :-)
Hi, are you using pruners from Fiskars?
Hi, I am interested in getting a few cuttings from the original fig tree. Are you willing to sell or barter?
Hello Stevenson Michel,
I typically prune my figs in late January or early February. Send me a reminder e-mail in January and I'll see what inventory I can part with then. Keep in touch. Charles :-)
Thanks!
if I uploaded a video of my pair tree can someone assist me with diagnosing black spots and what not?
Great video. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for Approach Grafting apple and peach trees. I have found very little on approach grafting of any plants and nothing on other fruit trees. Also, is it best to try this type of grafting during the dormant season? Thanks!
Is there any fig tree that is not edible
😃👍👏👏Brasil
Thank you Cassio Xp! :-)
Charles
hi.do you have israel fig variety?
Hello Terri,
I do not.... Charles :-)
What's the growing zone for figs
Hello Slicktmi,
Figs should be grown in growing zones 6 or higher; however, there are some exceptions. Here is a helpful link:
www.fourwindsgrowers.com/fruit-trees-vines-and-berries/figs.html There are many growers that overwinter their figs indoors where the winters are freeing below 5-10 degrees fahrenheit. Charles :-)
slicktmi zone 7 and above
If you bring my figs into the protection of the garage (or cool basement) you can grow figs in Alaska. I keep mine in an area that is protected but still freezes. They don't seem to mind freezes near 10 degrees F. Just don't subject them to a killing frost once they start to leaf out.
Hello Richard,
That was your Chicago Hardy fig cutting growing on this 5-in-1 fig tree! I'll have to re-pot all the other cuttings from the many other varieties you shared with me this past winter! Thank you again for being a part of this project!!! Have a great weekend!
Charles
Hello Stevenson Michel,
Zone 7 is what most the research states; however as Richard wrote below (as well as I am aware of many customers in freezing zones where figs would not thrive) that successfully grow them in pots and over winter them indoors in the house or garage. Thank you for sharing your comments! :-) Charles
what root stock do you use?
Hello Jo Brennan,
It's a green fig variety my grandfather brought from his travels to Yugoslavia about 30+ years ago. Tree typically grows, without pruning, to 20-30 feet... very vigorous... but not the best tasting... hence the need for grafting! :-)
Charles
Very informative but does every video have to be a mini infomercial?
Hello Peter Ripson,
Thank you for the compliment! :-) A HUGE percent of people watching our video are watching for the first time.... however, we are making an effort to minimize the time IV Organic's is discussed in each video... depending on the topic and relevance of IVO to the discussion. Thank you for sharing your concern, and will be considered with future videos. Thank you. Charles :-)
i think a crown graft would have looked better
Hello Someone Random,
Great suggestion! And I agree with you! But... my favorite grafting method is approach grafting and fitting all those pots around to create the crown would have been challenging. However, I will seriously consider the crown graft on my next major grafting challenge!!! Thanks again for writing me! Charles :-)
every time you throw away a cutting i cry
very cool video great fig tree
If he wasn't get paid to make these videos I dont think he would be painting trees with "I.V Organics"
your mission fig looks like it has mosaic virus
