Very nicely done, Thank you for linking me here. We do not get snow here in Georgia, but we do get very cold and some still need protecting. So cool, only 2 years late seeing your video. :) ♥

This is impressive 👍

I am bit late to this video :) those look very good. Do you protect your fig trees in the winter months? Or do they suffer die back to the ground? Love your videos by the way.

Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦

What zone are you in? I’m in NY ZONE 5

Very nice for snowy conditions, I have a couple Celeste left, but that's it. We don't get snow here though....but it does get cold. :)

That is amazing, thank you for showing. It is a good lesson to just leave them hanging on the tree even though the conditions are not great. Is the blue bag on the fig to help protect from the snow or the birds?

This is a very creative method. I am surprised it's not pushed to me earlier. This makes me to think of the way I grow Blackberries. Most blackberries fruit on the second year cane, just like the breba figs. In the end of each season, I cut back the second year cane since they have fruited. I leave the first year cane so they can fruit in the upcoming year. Though blackberries are hardy enough so I don't have to protect the cane but the idea is similar.

Hello I live in Canada zone 6 b. I look forward to trying your techniques. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Great video.

Great video! Yes! More tastings please!

How cold do you get there? -10f? For long periods of time?

Dang that looks good..making me hungry lol :)

looks delicious

Thanks... I always love when you make a video.

Thank you for showing how it is done, for people in colder climates and maby also for people with little space. Great!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Your figs are wonderful and I'm quite sure they are delicious.

What are the fig varieties do you have ?

Looks beautiful there! I'm growing persimmon "Fuyu" but haven't tasted it yet. Fruits from the shops usually taste really sweet and slightly vanilla-like. I haven't tasted pumpkin flavours yet, but maybe it depends on the type of persimmon. 🌿

Have you tried ronde de bordeaux? Meant to be an early fig too.

Thanks for the informative report. I gave Perretta to a friend as a present. Did Poland also had a very warm spring and sudden frost in late april like in Germany? Kicked us back for appr. 4 weeks with respect to ripening 😢

Perfectly ripened!

That's a really good early fig, it's the same or extremely similar to Florea.😊

Reminds me of Jack fruit flavor but texture like Durian. Have you tried Durian?

I planted a Brown Turkey Fig tree last year and a cutting from it this year in Louisiana on the zones 8b/9a line. I`ve only seen Celeste in the past though because that`s the type my family had. I wasn`t seeing any figs and pinched most of the tops a week ago to get fresh growth and within a few days I began seeing more and more baby figs on both. I have another cutting growing and I also planted 4 Celeste Figs this year and 4 Dwarf Mulberry trees. They say the figs may not taste good in the first few years and then suddenly the flavor and sweetness get much much better. So don`t give up on a "bad" fig tree. It can eventually surprise you very much. Our fig season can last until late October or November here.

That is beautiful!

I'm checking for figlets daily no sine yet how are your trees coming along 😊❤🎉🎉🎉

Да вы чертовы вредители, нельзя так точить секаторы! Подтачивать можно только с одной стороны, где подвод, в плоской стороны нельзя трогать нож, он начнет подрывать.

Do you pinch the new growth? Or you leave them to go strong and tall for next year to bear fruit? I love your videos a lot!!

Very good video. Just got my first fig a few days ago. Also picked up Lee Reich's book on growing figs in cold climates. I'm in the north-west of Ireland, so our winters are a lot milder than in Poland thanks to the maritime effect of the Gulf Stream. But our summers are very unreliable, last year we had heavy rain on almost every day in July. There's a reason Ireland it so green, it's well watered. Lee did an interview on the Joe Gardner podcast which may interest you. If you copy and paste this, you'll find it. 246-Growing Figs Anywhere, Even in Cold Climates, with Lee Reich.

Can I ask. How do you go about getting the fig from rooted cutting into the ground successfully.

Thanks for sharing your method. Your way makes sense to me. I am in zone 6 or 7 here in Utah USA. I have planted 27 varieties of fig. I will be using your method because I have plenty of plants and not enough time to protect old wood in winter. Thanks for so much detail on how you do it. I listen to everything two or three times. You're the best at all the small details! Happy gardening

❤❤❤rất tuyệt vời ❤❤❤❤

I’m using wood logs instead of pins and pile up leaves. It’s good to top dress with hey to protect from wind blowing out leaves. But your method is better.

They you

Beautiful, the persimmon so small and giving you fruit they love you don't give up on persimmons. The fruit taste will develop. Have you tried early varieties of persimmon hybrid like Prok? They are smaller but ripe end of august begining of september. What do you do for dear protection?

Very delicious fruit ,good luck always ,greetings from Indonesia ..

AFAIK, persimmons can ripen even after picking. At least those, that are sold in grocery stores, do. Just keep em at room temperature until they become really soft and look almost like they start to deteriorate. At that point they are most delicious. You can add a banana or a ripe apple and keep your picked persimmons in a paper bag for faster ripening. Can you tell, what is the variety of this persimmon tree? Or at least, is it an Asian or American persimmon, or a hybrid? I would like to experiment with persimmons and paw-paws in my climate, but haven't found any nearby source for those trees. I even bought persimmon seeds from the Internet, hoping that if I can't source a young plant, then at least can grow it from a seed. But unfortunately arrived seeds were too dry and did not germinate after soaking. From fruits bought from a grocery store I have found only some very under developed seeds. I haven't got any paw-paws yet. I guess, their seeds must be even more fresh to germinate.

Looking good - the color of the persimmon is beautiful! Your "pumpkin seed" flavor description is apt - persimmon is not one of my favorites (I prefer Quince, no contest❤). But it is a reliable and even prolific choice for winter-ready fruit. There are some differences telling ripeness of astringent or non-astringent persimmons. Climate change has affected the U.S. so much that our agricultural authority (USDA) has had to update the growing zone map. We've jumped from barely zone 7 to 7b, so maybe I'll be shopping for banana trees in a few years. 🤔

So how to start growingfigs asyou do? You plant a young fig in spring time and than before winter cut it compleatelyto the ground? The following year you live one branch, nex year two and so on?

Do you pinch the tree during the winter or in spring ?

I need to start pinching after a dieback. Thank you! 👍

Hi from Slovenia! ž In some of your previous videos you showed fig tree Golden Rainbow. Where did you get from? I tried from Albania, but it was a fake - worthless variety miserable fruit an unproductive. Do you have more luck? Regards Kazimir showed fig tree Golden Rainbow. Where did you get from? I tried from Albania,but it was a fake - worthless variety miserable fruit an unproductive. Do you have more lock?

I love your videos and techniques. I will be doing this this winter.

I have just started growing some..such a treat and like you said...Amazing! :)

North America's cold climate "tropical" fruit! Without the recent revival of the species here, and interest around the world, I think this tree would have soon become extinct. Are you going to try to germinate the seeds (they don't come "true", so the flavors will all be different)? Minimally self-fertile, so you need at least 2 trees with different genetics; fertility increases with increased number of trees. Paw paw is a tap-rooted species that needs to be planted in-ground as soon as possible. It can take seedlings up to 7 years to begin producing viable flowers and mature fruit. In the wild, the trees clone themselves by suckers.

I like your set up Mira, Hope those fruits ripen for you before the cold hits. :)

Nice Persimmon & Kiwi fruits! My baby Medlars were attacked by beetles and dropped their fruit. I'll be better prepared for next year! 😎

I learn so much every video. 😊 Please keep giving us updates...

That's interesting! I have Verbena bonariensis blooming next to my figs also. I don't have Michurinska 10 aka Florea yet. I think I should add this cultivar into my collection soon. We have even shorter season here in Estonia than you have in Poland. The winter cold is not an issue, because my protection measures can handle down to -30°C without a frost bite for trees pruned down below 70 cm, so they don't have to start from ground each year. Thank you for your very informative for northern climate videos!
