I have a fig bush in the Netherlands in my garden. A cutting from my parental home I planted 10 years ago. This is the 5th year I had decent figs on it but usually the fruit appear throughout the year, many stay on during winter and then ripen the next year. This was the first year not only the 'overwintering' figs ripened but also some of the new ones. There are several dozen small figs still in there but now approaching the end of the year I do not expect them to ripen any further. Here is hoping enough survive the winter colds (we always have a few weeks of frost here) to ripen in early summer next year.

Excellent fig reviews. I really want Sweet Joy to be better, it’s been on my list of varieties I’m considering for a while, but reviews seem to be mixed. I’d like to add some figs that aren’t just ‘berry’, but not much room so trying to be selective. Thanks for sharing.

in palestine we have 22 varieities of figs

It's a wonder it had any sap as ripe as it was. Are you rooting any cuttings now? I am i bought a deal of some cuttings that were offered on a quick sale. I had some semi-hardwood cuttings from two trees i took too root also. I have some under higher humidity inside the house that are doing great.

Your plan with the wood chips looks like a winner, can’t wait for the Spring reveal. Can’t believe how your greenhouse trees just won’t stop! Awesome fig season this year, thanks for sharing.

Got a Turca from you this year, looking forward to fruit next season. They all look so good, following along as you continue to evaluate. hope you get that raccoon problem sorted out, nothing more disappointing than waiting for a fig and the critters get it first. Thanks for sharing.

I too think the wood chips will do well. Really looks good and different with the leaves trimmed. You have such a good collection of figs. That White Adriatic looked like a flower trying to bloom. Good stuff, thanks for sharing Troy.

Some good looking figs! 👍

😋😋

Somehow, it is sad to see those beautiful trees without leaves, but in no time, they will be right back next year. I saw someone in South America boiling green figs and making a jam out of them, just in case you want to try.

Curious why you have less chips around the base of the tree…?

I’m trying a similar strategy this winter with the wood chips and bending of the branches.

I expect them to do well in the woods chips. They look good with the big trim. 👍

I make small individual greenhouses for each fig tree. Is there a benefit to double layering greenhouse plastic? As in 2 sheets of 4-mil. Instead of one layer of 6 mil?

Love your vids dude I have 35+ varieties of figs up to 3 years old and 5 greenhouses with plans for a 6th. I have citrus, bananas and 5 kinds of cold hardy pomegranates. Pineapple guavas too. And a Lila avocado in zone 8 NW Cali at 3600 ft elevation.

Ya that joint def work

Hi Troy, hope all is well - Good stuff as always. I couldn't make out the variety at the 5:16 mark (between the LSU Tiger and the Creme Di Mora). Thanks!

Nice figs. Have a couple Mt Etna types, first year so not much to compare, but glad to have them for their reliability. Thanks for sharing.

In my opinion Mt. Etnas/ Chicago Hardy’s aren’t even worth growing. Judged on pure taste, I would rather have a Brown Turkey.

another one good video

How cold did it get and for how long to cause that damage? I'm also in illinois close to st louis and I haven't had any trees drop leaves yet.

When you add your wood mulch, are you going to try to keep out moisture with plastic or just mulch?

Warm regards to you I would like to add some simple notes that outdoor trees need a different method of organization, such as cow fertilization, controlling weed parasites, as well as spraying an organic pesticide, organizing temporary irrigation, and you will see excellent results even with the arrival of cold weather. Thank you Troy

Wow the sky at 0:10 seconds! Good tour, hopefully the figs all pull through OK

nice

Awesome to get nearly 100% harvest of your figs this year. Zaffiro never quits, love that fig. Mostly I’m surprised how De la Senyora Hivernenca did not take that cold snap. Thanks for sharing.

Those fig trees are fighting the cold weather. Look at them trying to sprout back.

What's the size of your GH #2?

I can't believe you are still picking such big figs, and they look fantastic. Those Cavalier and Constantine D'A gigs are huge, and they also look great.

Good to see how these figs are behaving. Thanks for sharing.

Love these types of videos!

love your video

I always love your videos and knowledge sharing! Please keep going!

Beautiful

Looking good

If it is an LSU Jack Willy, have to be good!!! (It is such a beautiful yellow fig) It almost got my name, I was called Willy by my fellow workers when I was in the States.

some varieties have sugar dripping from the eye so that is not an indicator of spoilage unless the water that is coming out is runny and rancid the fig is good

Seems like the LSU figs don’t get enough love. They look great. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Troy I’ve heard that I need to get on your list for cuttings. How do I do that? Also I wanted to say thank you for telling us about some varieties are the same. I see a lot of see a lot of sellers won’t tell you. But even so, I have enough room to grow them all. If I know which varieties are the same, I like to plant them near each other. I enjoy your advice and videos 😊

Too blessed to be stressed🦾🦾🦾🫡💯

Instead of a "greenhouse",what you are describing is called a "high tunnel." Basically closed end vs. open ends, and then one can finish the ends like you are describing building your doors. Nice doors. Very functional.

Interesting variety. I'm not sure it would be a good variety for me with some of it's complications. It is pretty though.

But when it’s good, it’s really good, and in cooler weather conditions. Haven’t really had a good fig since the nights got cool here. Thanks for sharing.

The long hang time is really hard to overlook. It wasn't special in my humid climate. Sure, it may taste great, but what's the point if I can't many good ones. Any time the rain hits the skin, I can't help think why don't I have another tree in its place. Now you did say that it tastes great even underripe and ripens well in cooler weather. That’s a huge plus, but the problems with the eye, moisture, and hang time put it too far over the edge when you consider how spoiled we are with varieties much more suited to humid climates.

It looks really good!! Does the cold isn’t damaging them?. Isn't it call BLACK MANZANITA instead of MANZANTINA? I look it up on Google and the only one that comes up is the Black Manzanita. Manzanita is the name or description for a small apple in Spanish. BTW, Last night I was eating some of your dry figs, they are Fantastic!! Your fig leaf tea is also great.

one of the best channels on TH-cam about growing figs

What are you using for screen? Where are you getting it from? I will be putting up a couple of high tunnels at the end of November. The sides will have auto up and down on a thermostat. They are going to have ridge vents on the top also controlled by thermostat. I forgot about adding a single door at the end that I will be entering most of the time. The screen that you are using looks like it will keep the bugs out but it but what about critters like skunks raccoons opossum etc? The screens look like they should keep the bees and wasps out. That’s definitely a plus. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience 😊

Sounds like some great information for when I get a big greenhouse. 👍

Nobody tells you these things. Thanks for sharing your experience.
