Microclimate Advantages For Growing Figs

If you are looking to extend your season, a nice south facing wall can really help. I get 6-8 weeks of extra season in this area
Excuse the names. I don’t speak French or Catalan and don’t really know how to pronounce all of them. :-)

Hello from Miraclefruit in Canada 🤗

[@Danielseven-ir2mq]

That's good to know. Here in Denver CO. Dry wind, high altitude 🌞 sun. Its a challenge. My second year with figs. You have a great collection. Thanks for the info.

[@albongardens3199]

Didn't know you had a channel! Subbed!

[@figsandchocolate5553]

This was my first video. :-)

[@rigobertobrown4014]

that looks amazing. I live in Ventura and several figs. I was wondering what technique do you use for propagation?

[@kentonkwok7481]

Wow! A sight to behold. Whats your in ground spacing?

[@figsandchocolate5553]

Around 7' centers

[@Rooted1]

Does the barbwire keep the chipmunks out?

[@figsandchocolate5553]

Fortunately, squirrels and chipmunks are not a problem. I do have some pesky rabbits though.

Hi what are the size or the pot you are using theres?

[@Figs4Life]

Are you collecting them as a hobby or are you selling them?

[@svilponis]

A nice bunch of fig trees! How many hours it takes to water them all in case of heat spell?

[@figsandchocolate5553]

I am in the middle of rearranging the trees but once I finish that, I will set up a simple drip line for all the larger trees.

How do you find overall Settimo?

[@figsandchocolate5553]

I had some good ones but a lot that were over caprified as well. It is a huge fig here and has an extremely dense pulp with a very unique taste. It was hard to get them fully ripe but when I was able to, they were quite tasty. Not my favorite by any means though.

[@TheYehat]

@@figsandchocolate5553 Yep, mostly the same here. Visually stunning, but as the taste goes - strange, not unpleasant at all, but still. Very "fresh" taste, almost like no fig, but plum.

[@figsandchocolate5553]

@@TheYehat It definitely has a unique taste and texture. It was not good enough for me to keep so I will discard it this winter.

Good Orchard by potted plant

[@southernlivinggardenbymama9]

Awesome! Hi Eric it’s Klaudia here. Love your space! Do birds not bother your trees?

[@candisfirchau3810]

Are you using white limestone rocks or limestone powder?

[@figsandchocolate5553]

That is just perlite in the pots. When I water heavily, it sometimes floats to the top

[@thahtran3236]

What fertilizer you use?

[@figsandchocolate5553]

I use Osmocote Plus, primarily

[@misskimsorganichealthybeau7452]

Can I buy your fig plant

[@reinabrowne]

What do you do with all the figs and or trees? Farmers market?

[@reinabrowne]

Have you considered selling online? It’s difficult to find a number of varieties

[@figsandchocolate5553]

I have only been growing figs for about 2 1/2 years so many of my trees are young. This will be my first year with WAY more figs than my family and close friends can eat. I will make jams and probably offer some up locally to high end customers or something. Not quite sure yet! lol
I will be drying some and covering them in chocolate as well.
