Great collection and the trees looks fantastic. Your tress look great for being in Illinois. Did you give them a head start?

Those figs look so good. I can't wait to taste some for myself. Thanks for sharing with everyone.

That's a lot of really good looking figs. I can't wait to have some for myself. Thanks for sharing.

Never place tags directly on the trunk unless it allows for half a foot of growth. If you pass away it's possible nobody will check if the tree is getting choked.

That's awesome you're in Elgin I'm growing figs in Oswego. I also like your other flower collection they're looking beautiful.

I can't believe you've been taking the main crop off every year before they dropped and is wasn't a San Pedro type?? That's crazy.. 😂😂😂 most of mine are first year, but in Georgia our first year cutting pretty much all fruit and are 5' tall... I'm no expert, in fact, I'm kinda overwhelmed with my first year... But the fig does look like my KADOTA??? I'm really interested in what it really is??? Please post..

I looked through the comments for an answer to the question of the day regarding the white pith. But the answer is a matter of ripening , if those figs had stayed on another day or two they would have ripened more and the white would have all but disappeared. At least that is the most common mistake I've run into. Man i wish there were people close by to share my hobby with. I'll get you guys tickets and you can fly down here for a consultation, i wish right.

Thanks Homer, I am going to try the Aloe tip when i get my next batch of cuttings

Nice collection you have. I started figs and a collection this year. I can't wait to start getting some ripe figs. I imagine I will be just as excited as you were about not having DK. I'd love any cuttings or RdB you might have to give away. Don't use Facebook though. Good video as always. Thanks for sharing.

Might be wrong but looks like a familly of conadria/atreano kind of figs

Heck yeah man - rocking collection. Hysterical @ the Lebanese Bekaa valley portion of the video. TY for the wonderful tour.

In the half full green pots, do you keep adding soil, or do you raised them and fill in the bottom? I love your videos.

How do we get on your list for cuttings? :) And do we have to be on FB?I have an account but rarely use it.

😂 you are so funny!

I would love to make a donation towards a Espalier tree if still available

trees looking great man. Im eating some great figs right now!

It looks like you got an Atreano fig and not a desert king. Atreano is cold climate tolerant fig with outstanding flavour.

You’re the man Homer. I made my own Jadam Tea this weekend after a 24 hr perk. No complaints so far Thank You Sir

You get me so fired up about figs Brother!!!

Agree with NOT PINCHING!!!! I find it interrupts the Hormones within the tree, will eventually set the tree back. I also use the 2yr method!! Be well!

Nice to see your fig collection tour. Do you find the espalier trees have an advantage over the regular form?

Where do you winterize those fig trees living in the Chicago area??? Curious, have a hard time winterizing my potted culture here in the northeast!!! Best Wishes!

Really enjoy these tour videos. Thanks for sharing.

I grew pretty much all my figs from cutting in january 2023. Then got a grow tent. Put my little cuttings in it they didnt do much til april hit and then they started growing fast. My goal was to make them grow in a single trunk. Pinch it at 16-24 inches and form the second year growth or forks. It worked and im getting main crop. Some were behind and idk if im going to gwt anything like champagne and holier. I have 40-50 figs in each tree and they have out grown their 5 gal pots

19:09 whats up with the leaves? bright spots…

So beautiful

How do you keep the birds away? I have squirrels to bugs attack the 5 I have.

Great video Bro. Call that DK. Homer’s Favorite Fig

Hey, new subscriber. Could you explain what makes figs "espalier"?

Awesome collection

Awesome 👏

It’s a Conadria fig or as some folks call it Atreano

This is lsu dr. Cauady

What is the name of this famous cannabis grower please ?

Nice. I’m gonna have to try this out. My mix isn’t draining very well and I’ve already lost some trees this year and have had to transplant six into the ground just to save them from dying.

Awesome video! Question, i have combed the internet trying to find Ronde De Bordeaux along with some other trees you suggested and everyone seems to be out of stock. By chance do you know of anyone selling fig trees or websites i can check out? Hoping to find thwm in 1 gallon container or one that will fruit in the next couple of years (hopefully next year) lol....binge watching yout videos. Love the content, sharing them with friends that are interested in the hobby

Great video! Will you be doing an overwintering video? Touring how theyre stored during the winter here in illinois? Me being new to the hobby, I just got my first trees last month and I'm not sure if I should put them in the garage or bring them indoors. They're close to 6ft including bucket, LSU Gold and Italian honey in 5 gallon buckets.

Do you know how to garden? 🤣🤣👌

Good stuff! If I can give you one advice. Don’t check the weight of each fig. It’s really pointless unless you have a really large one just for fun.

Come on down Buddy! lol Got a strawberry verte you can take home with you in a 3 gallon pot. Healthy and ready for a bigger pot!

I'm not really trying to rush you at all by any means necessary my even my humidifier which is completely black has a white foam on it to the point I can just wipe it off it's weird I sure could use your help if you need my phone number please just let me know

My name is Warren just to let you know so in case you have a comment for me I would love to know

I'm only asking because my filters and my tent is filled with a small thin white foam of white powder is it the water that I'm using

Is there a special type of water to use for your humidifier

Looks like a great time ya'll had! Wish I could have made it.. Oh well. Next time

Its Tea Time for Me Homer. Im making that this weekend

Why was I not invited? JK 😂 so happy for all you looking like you all had a blast 💥 and enjoy every single fig. Hopefully next time I can make it. Let’s goooo

Let's freaking Go! LOL

I can’t believe how many figs we ate! A glorious day to be sure! Thank you to all our friends that made it happen!

I love having a bunch of different varieties to taste at once
