I enjoy telling stories and creating content about cloning and growing fig trees from cuttings, Greek cooking, gardening and about the nuances of the Greek language.
I was born and raised in Korinthos, Greece and since 1977, New York State has been my home.
If you love Greek/Mediterranean food and need some inspiration, you’ve come to the right channel. Here you’ll learn to make authentic Greek/Mediterranean dishes that are simple to make and so gratifying to share!
I post videos about: fig trees, organic gardening, raised bed gardening, Ruth Stout gardening philosophy, recipes and Greek-related content.
I love growing figs from cuttings in zone 6a, NY, America. I prescribe to Ruth Stout’s gardening philosophy of “lazy gardening”.

Splitting and Root Pruning a Fig Tree
I was gifted a beautiful fig tree, but it needed a lot of tender loving care. It had to be root pruned ASAP and while I was there I decided to split it in two.

Its almost november snd we havent had a frost yet!! Figs are still producing and the bananas are getting giant
thanks king
You remind me of my papa
Thank you @@Joemama-vw4ft!!!! I am very happy that I brought such fond memories for someone with just a simple video. Take care.
This is the kind of content TH-cam was made for.
@@Chessplayer1719 better than watching political videos especially now.
Yummmm
Nice when can I get a piece
@@HunterDetta it was delicious! I love this bread. The recipe is in the description of the video.
Looks really good! As an italian i have only a Little advise, when you cut the bread use the knife big that seems like a chainsaw😊
Mille graze, @@simonezitelli4602, mille graze!
looks yummy God bless you ❤
Many thanks,@@ToniBrown-rk9dx Lunch was delicious. I also made a loaf of bread. There was a lot of dipy-dipy.
Looks fantastic!
Thanks, @@Cole75510! It’s an easy soup to make.
Have you ever done this before? I’m considering this but in the Spring. I think it’s too late in the season now and I don’t want to shock the plant. I also have a fig tree with two trunks. Since I have other healthy clippings now from the double trunk fig tree I’m not as concerned to try this at the right time.
@@ElevateTheProcess fig trees are very resilient and you will have twice as many trees. Do it in early spring while the tree is coming out of dormancy.
i heard they get stuck in machines too when food waste is processed!
@@Stressymessy I can spot them from far away! Thanks for the visit and comment.
I would have started with raw shrimp.
keep up the work man your awesome!
Hey @@daryankarim6905 , thanks for the visit and the comment. I don’t remember the last time I bought garlic.
Ti kanis evan! Just found your channel off a fig page on Facebook. I am half greek and half Italian so it's good to see you include a little Italian in your video! Im starting a mini homestead, and figs are my next tree. Which figs are native to greece and Italy? I live in North Alabama but i would love to have some greek and Italian crops on my property. Efcaristo!
Ya sou @@southernyankeeprepper In Greece they have a variety called Vasiliko, singular, or Vasilika, plural. This variety comes with either white or black flesh. I had several of these figs but I gave them all to relatives that eventually killed them because they didn’t care. It killed me. Good to connect with you.
@@thefigtreeguy I will search around online for this variety, thanks for the information!
@@southernyankeeprepper Go to figbid.com to buy cuttings. You can buy using PayPal and that way you get some extra protection. I took a few screenshots to help you. imgur.com/a/PZwd2uT Let me know if you need help. Keep on rooting!!!
Ahyeya
@@jorgetosta1815 indeed!
What is the brand of marker.
@@toddhawthorn3553 here you go… imgur.com/a/QAVuiwk
I see the blue container. This was the gifted fig? It is going to flourish! 👏🏻
@@ElevateTheProcess yes!!
Beautiful! 🌱🙏🏻 It’s in good hands! Is this a Turkey Fig?
@@ElevateTheProcess unfortunately the previous owner did not have a tag and there were no fruit in it. I will have to wait until the fall of 2025 to be able to take an educated guess, but not 100%. It was given to me.
This one is in ground?
@@ElevateTheProcess yes, it is.
Looks yummy! Will definitely try this
@@aislingmurphy7619 it was delicious. Make sure you dice the veggies into tiny pieces. I cut two eggplants lengthwise and baked them for about 45’ until soft. Also, I baked 2 large sweet potatoes. I used: 1 med. onion, 2 carrots, 1 leek, parley, dill, paprika, and optionally sumac. Sauté them well. Use the same pan you used to bake the eggplants and top them with the veggies and then the mashed sweet potatoes. Bake for 40’ and you have perfection! Let me know if you need more info. Thanks for the comment.
Wowzee! I’ll try this! Great idea! 🍆 🍠 🥕 🧅
@@ElevateTheProcess it was yummy!
I had no idea! They look so invisible and harmless. We pay no attention to them!
@@normagracemiller4800 they don’t disintegrate. I find stickers from many years ago. Thanks for the visit!
what dish?
@@gnejserna1545 just any, but I was making Chicken Francese
Now i got an good excuse to drink my friends wine
@@very_suspicious lol
I am also in Orange County when should I bring my potted figs in? I have three and 5 gallon pots one lost most of its leaves the other two have their leaves.
@@markohanian7279 I’m in Walden, NY. Wait for all leaves to fall. The temperature will drop below 32 and then fig trees will go dormant. Thanks for visiting!
Use a natural scrubber made of coco fiber to prevent getting microplastic into the pores of the pot
Hey @@lilwayne2671 , Great suggestion. Thanks!!
Great idea my friend! Best Wishes!
Thanks, @@pjorge8363!
🤣 I work for a landscape company.. we end up with thousands of those.. we just end up giving them away, returning them back to the nurserys, and keeping a couple hundred and reusing them. I don’t know why, It’s just funny watching the other side of things where people are happy to get a few.
@@dwightchaos9449 Wow! I use these pots and I hate paying for them. I really like the 10+ gallon pots. Hey, thanks for the visit and the comment.
Does the Misses know about this purchase😅?
Yes, @@KristineHickey-b7r ! She was the videographer.
🤣🤣🤣 🦌
@@ElevateTheProcess it was almost midnight.
@@thefigtreeguy Have you ever thought to get a wildlife camera? So many animals wondering around at all hours. The deer are majestic but eat a lot. Nice video! 👍🏻
@@ElevateTheProcess wildlife camera? Too much technology!
@@thefigtreeguy agreed lol
funny 😂
@@Culecule1thanks!
to make you feel like your average is good, I just took 6 hydrangea cuttings and just 2 made it, so far!!
@@ivyfasko9699 I think I’m addicted to figs. I have this “thing” happening and I want more. Perhaps it is that figs bring back great memories from when I was a kid. Who knows! Sorry about your hydrangea cuttings. Thanks for the comment and for visiting. Keep on rooting!
@@thefigtreeguy know what you mean! Just got my first fig, Chicago Hardy, & am preparing for my 1st winter in now-zone 7. Wasn't sure about taking cuttings this late in the season, will wait till next year for this plant. Hoping to get more varieties soon. I too love figs, & Hydrangeas!
When I was a kid in the 70’s my Grandfather had a fig tree in our yard and would give a bowl to everyone. One of my favorite fruits that I haven’t had since my grandfather was Alive in the 80’s; they found him tied up in the trunk of his Buick 68 years old.
@@BaldandInsecure187 sorry to hear about your grandfather.
@@thefigtreeguy thank you
We did this back in Romania all the trees 🌳
@@nelane31 Hone sweet home. I hear you!!!!
Dear friend also never forget a bit of celery, Give it a try
@@Mkzeza I will next time. Thanks!
I’m in Warwick, New York and I have like a 2 foot big fig tree - how do I take care of that for winter? Do I wrap it in burlap and if so, how do I do it?
@@mynazarene1233 hello neighbor! I’m guessing it’s not potted. If in the ground, prune it after it goes dormant. Then, mulch it heavily (most importantly to save the roots), then wrap it with burlap and then tarp. Leave some room on the very top and put a pot for it to breathe. Thanks for visiting.
@@thefigtreeguy hi!!!! No I just planted it last week. Can you clarify what you mean by “put a pot for it to breathe?” When I purchased the fig tree from the nursery it had a bunch of figs on it. When I got home, i never saw a fig again. (It did start to form some, but they never made it. Can you do a video on how to prune? Also how do I know when it goes dormant? (Sorry!!! I’m new at life…lol)
@@mynazarene1233 can you send a picture to my email address? thefigtreeguy@gmail.com
@@thefigtreeguy yes thank you so much - will do tomorrow
@@mynazarene1233 perfect.
A friend of mine gave me a little start off hers 3 years later and it is thriving.❤
@@jensday1924 that’s wonderful! Great friend. Thanks for visiting.
Thank you for the info
@@SherrisPlants thanks for visiting. Keep on rootin’
Surely, snoop has a killer special brownie recipe in there
@@drewpweiner7042 ha, ha! Unfortunately the book was shrink wrapped, I wanted to check it out.
Looks delicious!!
@@KristineHickey-b7r it was. The ginger made a huge difference.

Made my first batch with cherries from my cherry tree and it was delicious, thanks so much. We froze a bunch from the tree and might want to make a second batch. Would this work if we started now (august) and let them sit outside during cooler weather into October?
@@paulwalter9899 CONGRATULATIONS!!! Guess who is jealous!! It will be a great winter.
Just realized the frozen ones have the pits removed - still ok?
Yes, @@paulwalter9899
@@paulwalter9899 I’m thinking about this now and the cherries need to be in the hot sun first a couple of months. Make sure it gets all the sunlight it can get every day.
Thanks for your help!
Bravo. Keep it up! I’m getting good meal plans.
