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.
Thanks!!
That's a lot of really good looking figs. I can't wait to have some for myself. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!!
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.
Damn… pass away… but good point. I stopped strapping them on
That's awesome you're in Elgin I'm growing figs in Oswego. I also like your other flower collection they're looking beautiful.
Haha! You been growing for awhile!? Figs?
@@basementfigs It's now my 3rd year my mother got me into growing them. Started it off with Chicago hardy and needed more I was obsessed the other flowers I've been growing for about 10 years now
@douglasp2238 cool! I’m just growing for fun. Not my thing anymore… but they starting to flower now…
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..
Haha… life has an interesting way of making things work out though… all my friends are saying it’s Atreano. But not confirmed. I’ll bring some fruit to them this weekend.
@@basementfigs it will be interesting to see what it actually is??
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.
Where u from again Larry!?
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.
Thanks for always watching!! FB is really worth it for cutting season. There’s a lot of sellers on there. It’s worth just having in Oct-Dec. I’ll get you some RdB but you have to remind me when I get the trees ready for storage. I love pruning and shaping. I can’t wait for that video. When you see that video… go to FB or message me or email me at basementfigs@gmail.com
@@basementfigs That's very generous and much appreciated. I'll be on the lookout. Thanks
Might be wrong but looks like a familly of conadria/atreano kind of figs
I’m leaning towards atreano or lsu gold… but I’m not sure… thanks for the input.
@@basementfigs I have LSU Gold and that’s not it. That’s an Atreano and it’s a keeper. Now do I get my Angelito cuttings? :)
@@BlizzardBurrr I’m 99.9% sure it’s an Atreano! Delish!!
Heck yeah man - rocking collection. Hysterical @ the Lebanese Bekaa valley portion of the video. TY for the wonderful tour.
Thank you for watching!! It was a long one..
@@basementfigshahah I just finished it. Exciting to the end. FIGS!!!!!
@@edslim718 let’s gooooo…
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.
Yea exactly. I wanna make sure I’m watering the root ball rather than over saturating the pot. Once I feel the plant taking off… I’ll add more dirt or just up pot.
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.
When u see me post my pruning video… great time to stay active on my FB page.
@@basementfigs will do, thanks for letting me know.
😂 you are so funny!
lol!!!!
I would love to make a donation towards a Espalier tree if still available
The CdD Grise!? Awesome!
@@basementfigs Let me know how to get your info so i can have my own Homer made tree.
trees looking great man. Im eating some great figs right now!
Thanks bro!!! Happy anniversary!!!
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 2nd person to say that variety! I’ll take it!!!
@@basementfigsI have it and it looks exactly the same as mine. Do I get an Angelito for figuring it out? 😅😂
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
Thanks for supporting the channel!! Much love!!!
You get me so fired up about figs Brother!!!
I was hyped there!!! lol!
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!
Thanks for watching!
Nice to see your fig collection tour. Do you find the espalier trees have an advantage over the regular form?
Besides being cool… a lot more work than needed… it seems the scaffolding doesn’t go to crazy… with this method.
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!
I put them all in the garage.
Really enjoy these tour videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
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
Thanks for watching!
Wow I did 47 varieties in February from cutting put them in 5 gallon pots and about two months later put them in 27 gallon pots I pinch them around 15 inches hight A lot of them are showing good lateral side shoots and I couldn’t be happier and barely watering since they are in huge pots im loving it
You on Facebook? I would love to see them!
@@petergraves9006 i put mine on 5 and 7 gal for trial and decide what i can keep and what i cant. My trees have 2 years of growing season growth under a year of age, trunk is more than an inch thick. But my place is limited and my grow tent is a 5x5 for head start. So i need to to decide what goes in and what doesnt and doesnt need to.
19:09 whats up with the leaves? bright spots…
Fig Mosaic Virus
So beautiful
Thanks!!
How do you keep the birds away? I have squirrels to bugs attack the 5 I have.
They haven’t realized what I got yet…. Squirrels using my fence as a highway too… but they haven’t touched them yet.
Chilli powder around the pots and ground stopped the squirrels from eating my figs.
Great video Bro. Call that DK. Homer’s Favorite Fig
lol
Hey, new subscriber. Could you explain what makes figs "espalier"?
It's how he trains it. See how they are spread out and tied. It helps hormones for figs and other fruit trees
@@antonioperez119 okay, that makes sense. Thank you for the information!!!
@@DrBombay911 so many different things to learn. Glad I could help
Thanks!!
Awesome collection
Thanks!!
Awesome 👏
Thanks for watching!!
It’s a Conadria fig or as some folks call it Atreano
Thanks for input!!! Much appreciated it
This is lsu dr. Cauady
Dr. Gowaty is what I have.
@@basementfigs yes
I am trying to send you a picture of the tree and the he fruit
Send me your e.mail I will send you the picture
What is the name of this famous cannabis grower please ?
It’s in the video…
@@basementfigs I understand Cladamos Cutes, but it is not correct .
@@petermatusak3429 clackamas coots
Anyway great soil recipe. I had problem with aeration and your aeration hints helps perfectly👍
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.
Yes I think drowned a couple when I first started. Also make sure to let the mix sit for a week. The mix can get hot like when you make your own compost.
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
I have a friend who has one ready to go. Let me talk to him.
You should go Live lol. I hear once they're sleep, the temps should remain between 20 to 55 degrees to keep them asleep. With me being in illinois I was considering placing grow tent in the garage, take installation and wrap the outside and inner layer of the grow tent and wrap the pots with blankets and wrap the trees themselves with thick industrial plastic. And thoughts on this method due to temps can drop below zero?
My garage has dropped to 20. And figs fine. My advice is get a heater for those really cold night. And try to keep it simple so it’s easy to do every year.
@@basementfigs ok cool thanks!
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.
Since u asking… I’ll try my best to film it again this year!
Do you know how to garden? 🤣🤣👌
lol!! I had to keep that in!!
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.
I’m not a fan of weighing, sadly it wasn’t my show. I was just there to eat figs. LOL
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!
Done!!! It’s gonna happen.
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
Get RO water pre filter attached before it goes into your humidifier
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
RO water is suppose to be the best. But they make hose attachments that filter the water just like an RO unit… just to screen the white particles from appearing
Looks like a great time ya'll had! Wish I could have made it.. Oh well. Next time
Next Saturday!?
@@basementfigs sounds like a deal!
Its Tea Time for Me Homer. Im making that this weekend
Yes I was gonna make some for my airlayers I transplanted but it’s raining here.
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
Our H&H tasting should be happening soon!?
@@basementfigs let’s schedule a day
Prolly plan for LDA to ripen… they almost there. I’ll have that, smith, and maybe figo Preto plus the standard stuff
Let's freaking Go! LOL
Let’s FREAKING Go!!
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!
Thanks for sharing!!! That was fig gluttony! I hide the 🌰 pretty good huh!?
I love having a bunch of different varieties to taste at once
Yea… there’s something to it!! U can compare and figure out which unique flavor notes you like!!
