Love your vids Ross. Just started getting into figs this year. Took a cutting from a tree at my dads house and also bought an LSU Hollier tree. Looking forward to a good harvest next year.
Does rain ruin fruit by wetting the figs & ostiole directly or is it also a matter of soil saturation? If I cover ripening figs with a beach umbrella will that save them or will the saturated ground still wash out the sugars & promote mold? Thanks for another great informative video👍
Question: Does anyone know why the insides of my first crop of figs were absolutely DRY and non-jammy. I thought ALL breve figs were of "low quality" and figured my dry ones must be breves. Tree is getting plenty of water. Could this be a case of the figs not getting pollinated? I live in Northern California where we have a TON of fig trees and have seen a few other trees that bore figs with dry (non-jammy) centers.
My figs skin is a bit hard but inside is sweet, dark crimson colours exterior attaches strongly with the branches.The creamy pale colours were softer with some cream.

Is the Hollier, what Ross is pronouncing as Hooo-yay?
@@dnabrice Yes
Thanks!
Thank you!!! That was awfully nice.
You just made me go bag my brebas! 😂❤🎉
Excellent watching it right now thanks for all the great videos and information about your fig trees!

I eat bananas while I watch your tastings so I can share in the sweetness.

Both.
@@RossRaddi thanks👍
nice job protecting last year's growth ross. did your in ground desert king, white madeira #1 or smith trees produce any breba this year?
No Smith or Texas BA1. I keep forgetting to check DK.
About to get my first breba in a few days in South Jersey
Nice big yard
My Verdolino brebas were bad last season.... so i only let four ripen this season, of course they were yummy lol
Do you recommend the Fignomental Dwarf Fig?
Any advice?
Not yet. It's basically a Hardy Chicago. Is it better? Probably not.
Ross, do you do anything with Paw Paw? I have seeds but I need help growing them. I want to buy trees.
I don't sell pawpaw trees if that's what you're asking.
@@RossRaddi any connections? I have a few seeds. Just wanted something already to plant

Sounds like a lack of water or it's a problem with the variety.
@@RossRaddi Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

What’s up with all the yellow fig leaves the figs sit on?
No Olympian breba?
Not growing Olympian. It's an inferior variety in humid places. In dry places, the eating experience is average.
