I thought after watching this video I was going to have to see a counselor just kidding. To sacrifice a fig tree for the love one has for another is beautiful.
Hi Lou, I always do enjoy watching your videos. So many thanks. That has been said; I will address the main topic of the video. In case cutting or pruning has not started yet; here is my thoughts. We all share the decision making; Debie, Yourself and us the audience 🤭. Considering that the trees are getting huge and covering the house, And bearing in mind that those fig trees are carrying lots of tasty figs; And further noting that; we the audience enjoy the scene of the fig trees and the words of wisdom associated with the video; Here are my thoughts: a) Keep the trees till season is over. b) Prune the tree but not knock it down. c) train them in certain direction to control their growth. Greetings from the other part of the world - Dubai, UAE.
You heart tell you what you need to do. Listen to the wife. She have to enjoy the property too. Keep garden areas for her, and plant in the outside perimeter without blocking the views you want to enjoy. By the way, thanks for all the knowledge. I started 3 years ago in zone 7b, Greensboro, NC. Own 34 varieties.
I enjoyed listening to you trying to convince yourself. A man torn between lots of figs, half his stuff and solitude orrrrr. Ha. So enjoyable watching it happen to someone else.
Lou, Lou, You are at an age where you can be forgiven for walking around and in front of a window without your pants. Debbie is a smart girl she will quickly see the value of a privacy hedge!
You are so lucky. I only grew one after dozens of attempts and countless videos. After 3 years, ready to fruit, gophers ate the tree. Every branch and leaf disappeared. I wish I had your problem. 😅
Where's the problem Lou? Let them fruit, cut them down at the end of the season and send out cuttings to the viewers. Get Deb a new purse, works everytime.
I have a giant one in my front yard near my house that is going mad (in a good way). My wife cannot stand the smell they make and it is encroaching on space. I fear she will be asking me soon to prune it also.
Hi Lou on this beautiful day! I get Miss Debbie's point...she wants the house to be seen! So, prune, prune, prune and if you have to take out a tree or two, donate it to your Son or another family member or even a good friend! Also, holy smokes, I've never seen a Hardy Chicago that big!! Love your beautiful, peaceful trees! You have a lot of work ahead of you so...Best of Luck to you! Take care!
😂🤣😂🤣 you do know their Married? Deb gets half, so on one property, we're really gonna miss Lou 🤣😂🤣😂. Niether one of them are going anywhere, their just too cute together... Besides I'd miss the lil dog ❤️
Hi. Lou as I always do I enjoyed your videos. Jachchart: I am also suffering from bad nematodes. Would organic fertilizer would help combating bad nematodes? I live in a very hot area over 110 F these days (Dubai). Thank you all
@@saeedal-bahhar7683 I was told that the golf courses will try to keep them at bay with increased fertilizer regiment but I don’t know if the trees will take it without burning the roots. Mushroom compost wood chips leaves straw, mix it into the soil but if the tree is already infected I don’t think you can do anything but dig it up and maybe root prune the knots off if that even works. I may have the same problem here in FL.
Another Beautiful intro ❤ It's so calming.. but, We had your back when you were sneaking a d planting more behind Debs back,? Don't throw Deb under the bus, when we all know we all did this together, I was rooting you on too.. as long as you didn't get caught.. You get caught, than all of a sudden it's DEB SAID? Buddy your throwing ME under the bus with you 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Never too many! Where can I get cuttings of your trees? I'm 73 and will be too old if you wait any longerto make them available... off the beaten path would be good to distribute them. Call him and tell him to come over to get cuttings for his nursery.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 and that's exactly what he's doing 😂🤣🤣😂😂 Notice how he said " Deb said". but, if you follow him DEB SAID THAT YEARS AGO 🤣😂🤣. He keeps inching along, and I'm guilty also, I want to see the lastest fig, and watch it grow, but, Deb never told me to shut up 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
sir, i completely sympathize.. in the 35+ years of enjoying life with my wife? i can say this..an old adage..."happy wife, happy life"..saying that, if by chance you are offering any cuttings? i would greatly appreciate a chance of buying a Peters Honey and or Dessert King..only if you are putting up?..being my cuttings did not make it this year..if not? i completely understand..and again, always interesting videos...
Happy wife, Happy life, suck it up and do a lil pruning, happy wife just wants to see her home❤ Lou, you gotta COMPROMISE plain and simple.. just prune. We all love Deb more than more trees, ❤️ She goes to the island but she HAS NO VIEW😢😢
@@loumonti10 you've given me great advice, plant in a small hole, keep the roots compact, AND IT WORKS!! looks like someone didn't follow his own advice 😂🤣😂🤣 They really are taking over the house, time to prune buddy😪 post it when you do? Let us tag along? ❤️
You can do what I did also ,in the other property that you have where I think u have alot of space compromise and make like a fig orchard on a designated bigger peace of land ,and only there ,this is how I lied too 😂 "only there" but it s best to compromise at least don t kill them ,just heavy pruning but it s sad to loose all those figs
I’m a little jealous of the neighbors and all of the awesome cuttings they’ll have access to if you don’t cut them back lol

Too many? That`s crazy talk! I`ve planted lots of extra fruit trees so the birds and I can both be happy and not fight over them.
There’s no such thing as too many figs when you’re a Monti.

Funny!!! She liked your comment and laughed! Hat 2as a great relief to me! Thanks! Lol! Lou Monti

Would love to see how and what you prune off your figs.Nice video Lou.

Looks great you can Air layering it, sell it or give it away.

If Deb ever says: "It is me or the fig trees."
We will miss Deb.
😂🤣😂🤣 you do know their Married? Deb gets half, so on one property, we're really gonna miss Lou 🤣😂🤣😂. Niether one of them are going anywhere, their just too cute together... Besides I'd miss the lil dog ❤️
😂😂😂
If possible wait until the brebas ripen and take down the bigger trees to a level of about 5 feet tall so as to preserve the main trunks
Lou, it’s definitely not the right time of year to be pruning fig trees. Wait till they go dormant. It’s less stress on them.
You can’t cut them down with all the figs on it wait till the winter
Good luck Sir! That looks like a lot of work. I wish I could help you out.
Amend your soil heavy with organic material for the RDB to get past the nematodes. I planted a little bit away from the house no cutting back here.

A wise person told me it is better to ask for forgiveness than to do nothing at all.

Can we take a vote I don’t know if I can handle seeing all these figs on the ground 😢
Hello,
Beautiful fig trees. I live in AZ and am just starting. Can you please send me some cuttings of the different figs trees?
I have a heartbroken for you,if I have to cut my tree down I will be sick,it’s my only hoppy 😢😢😢
The words no fig grower wants to hear
Root some cuttings and I'll trade some debt notes for some. Especially that black Madeira you have without FMV.
just prune them... no cut down..lol

Don’t cut it till the season is over Lou!
They say to plant mustards to get rid of the root knot nematodes.
@debbies2966 Hi there! Trust me! That doesn't work!!! Simply try to avoid Rootknot Nematodes at all costs. Thanks for watching. Lou Monti
There may be a law against cutting a fig tree to the ground. If not mans law surely God's.
The most depressing movie you've made! It's a shame you can't prune in winter and let someone make the cuttings available.
How she feel about you going inside and moving it removing furniture, lol If you do a giant air layer I’ll come pick it up.(seriously)
I swear my wife said today to me that " we will drown in figs" 😂😂😂 I have an variety import sanction...I am stuck at 25 varieties..for now 🤐
Lesson learned do NOT plant next to house 😂
But figs thrive next to the shelter and warmth of the house. It's a tough one!
Happy wife, Happy life, suck it up and do a lil pruning, happy wife just wants to see her home❤ Lou, you gotta COMPROMISE plain and simple.. just prune. We all love Deb more than more trees, ❤️ She goes to the island but she HAS NO VIEW😢😢
Excellent advice!!! Thanks for watching and for your comment! Lou Monti

You can do what I did also ,in the other property that you have where I think u have alot of space compromise and make like a fig orchard on a designated bigger peace of land ,and only there ,this is how I lied too 😂 "only there" but it s best to compromise at least don t kill them ,just heavy pruning but it s sad to loose all those figs
