Thankyou! This was easily understood. One thing I learned for propagation is to use a potato peeler and scape 3 sides up 4 inches from the bottom before putting in soil. You’ll get many more roots that way much sooner.
Thank you so much for actually pruning your fig tree! Nothing more frustrating than watching the video about pruning figs and they just talk about it in front of the tree
Thanks so much for sharing. This is a great video. I have 8 fig trees mainly from cutting. I am in zone 6 with snow in winter. I leave them in my garage and have to prune them so I can park my car in. This video shows me how to prune and propagate.Thanks again.
Thank you so much! I am an amateur in the fig- growing arena, and this vlog is by far the most informative and helpful. You walked us through the whole process of pruning, answering all the 'how's and why's' without having to redirect us to another lengthy vlog. God bless you.
What an excellent video from a thoroughly likeable gentleman. I live in England and have an 8ft fig tree in the garden of a property we moved into eight months ago. The figs are delicious, but I've noticed the tree has grown rapidly throughout our summer. Come winter, I intend to prune the tree back to a sensible size and will put to good use what I have learned here.
Wow thank you so much! Just bought my first fruiting tree today every and it was a Turkey fig! Now in a couple years i can give figs and tree starts to all my friends haha thank you.
Thank you. I've got a fig tree on the property and I've been looking some succinct directions on caring for it. I ran into so many talky talky talky videos and I had no doubt they knew what they were talking about but I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do with my fig tree. Yours was sweet and to the point. My fig is pruned back and I know what to do with the cuttings. I'll be prowling around your channel for a while to see what comes next. Very well done and much appreciated.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. We moved into a house that had a fig tree which last year did not do well. I'm used to the abundant growth of figs as they grow in Louisiana. I've pruned this one as it was only getting leaves and fruit at the very top. No leaves or little branches growing out, except at the top and the tree was about 8 feet tall. I had never seen that before, Actually, the tree is combined of several tall branches. I hope I have "helped" it! I hope now it will sprout out and not just "up."
good video, to the point, concise and actually trimming shown. love it!! I have 2 fig trees and they are getting a bit wild. Need trimming this winter and now I know how!!
Thanks I enjoyed your video, I grow white Adriatic figs both in ground and in containers ì cut my large tree right back last season and have a lot of new long growth which by seeing what you do I'll put that information into practice this winter regards John.
Well done video - informative and correct pruning practices. After viewing various videos, this gives me the confidence to prune my two story fig when it looses its leaves. Get the right tools, be aggressive and enjoy the results.
Thank you for this video! I've found it very helpful in learning how to care for the fig tree that was in the yard of our new home! You're a great teacher :)
Lots of useful information contained in this video. Excellent regarding pruning, cuttings, etc. I have a Chicago Hardy fig which will need pruning at the end of this year and also have a Desert King that is just getting started. Both are in pots. Thanks
Thank you sir. I just planted some seed from one of my fig trees today. I have three that are not producing well, so this winter I will prune them back to see if they are better next year. You are very informative and helped me a lot.
I live in South Florida I'm trying to grow fig tree not having much luck. Just subscribed to your channel hopefully fully I will learn some info for my fig 💚 Thank you
I love figs, and have finally managed to get them planted in the garden. You have a great channel enjoying the videos. Be good to connect sometime. Tony
I wish I could get my fig trees to grow 5 inches, in one year. I am in the Orlando Florida area. I propagated them about 5 or 6 years ago from a neighbors huge healthy fig tree. Prop. was easy. I grew them to about 4 feet in pots. I put them in the ground and they get smaller every year. They just now are sprouting leaves. Feb. 2018.Yesterday I acquired some donkey manure from a neighbor. This is a test! I'm hoping it will help.
Hi! I know this is an older post, but hoping to ask a few questions regarding the propagation portion. 1. should you only try to grow from the tips (i.e.: 12" cuttings from each tip?) or does that not matter as long as there are nodes? 2. how long do you keep them in the plastic, watering daily? 3. would you recommend adding anything like perlite to the soil or rooting hormone to the cutting? GREAT video - my 20 foot fig tree that I adopted with my new house needs a lot of love and I can't wait to prune and propagate this fall! THANK YOU
All I got to say is wow,
And thank you,
My tree thanks you to,
Finally... A GOOD video on putting fig trees. Yes I will subscribe... Ty

Great helpful video! Just what I needed as I have to prune my fig tree on my own this year. Thanks for your informative instruction.

Yeah! ! Bay Area gardening. Just what I've been looking for.
Excellent
Great video! So informative! Thank you for clear instructions!! I have a small fig tree in Texas, and want to treat it right.
You have the coolest tool!

Thank you for this, a friend is going to give me some cuttings so I can try my hand at figs.
That's great! All the best!
How did that work out ?
A pleasant informative and kind video to watch. Thank you.
thank you, and I will try the propagation, now that I know I can
Thanks, Dan. This is the best instruction on fig pruning I have found. Just moved to a new house with an older fig. Now, I can prune correctly!
8:27 I just stick the cuttings directly in the soil on the northern side of my house and have consistent 80-90% rooting success.
Great video, thanks! I pruned my brown turkey. If only I could get them to ripen before frost!
good video, without useless info
Great video. Very educational.
Excellent video thank you!

Cow manure is better
