I'm going to enjoy watching your vids - I'm in the southern highlands and have just started investigating figs - i admin a cool climate garden group and encourage members to swap seeds, plants etc and I've given away quite a few potted figs - St Dominique de Violette and Violette de Bordeaux I'm developing a list of local growers in our group and what figs they have with a view to sharing cuttings :)
I enclose my ripening figs in recycled clear small plastic clamshell from the grocery store. They work really well to keep my figs from being eaten by pests.
So jealous, I got no ripe figs here in Victoria. Was a very odd season down here. I've been waiting for you to post about your BNR, did you get to try any?
I never managed to get any of the BNR cuttings to start, I think there was a problem with the mother tree I was buying form, I tried 4x cuttings. I think the seasons across Aus have been a bit funny last 2 years. Next year we will be treated to el nino which will hotten things up a bit, and will probably be a good fig season...
@Figgin' Around Oh no, I had been wondering about it for a while. I was wondering how the BNR compared to the MR but never mind. Fingers crossed for a better season next year!

So nice to still have figs ripening 🥰. Those little babies would have lost their leaves weeks ago if they still lived down south!
At this point I am wondering whether they will lose their leaves at all! Do figs lose their leaves in Brissy?!

Thats a good idea, would definitely stop chicken beaks!
I would like an update on how to prune the trees to remain compact in size but yet productive.
I will put out an update on this hopefully within the week!
Can you please point me in the right direction to be able to add this beauty to my garden, I am also in Qld 😊
I successfully rooted three BNR cuttings, but failed on the rest nine ones. BNR does grow slowly on its own roots.
Luckier than me for sure. This seaosn I actually havent attempted to root a single cutting, feeling really short on space!
you have plants
