    Carlos, hello! I have a question about your Moro de Caneva tree, which you mention is grafted. I'm wondering what it is grafted onto, for the rootstock? I am contemplating what to do with my MdC in terms of grafting it onto something, and I assume you are happy with what you've got - if not please elaborate. If you did the graft yourself, what factors did you take into account when choosing the rootstock for this potted plant?

      You have to prune the roots after 3 years if necessary ,you control the hight of the tree by pinching the tree when it reaches a certain hight .

    If you have 200 Figs like you said can you tell me about ice crystal variety? Cause i don't know what is wrong with it. Their fruit always drop before rippen and i'm not sure how this happened while other variety with same grow and care seems normally, probably something which i don't know can make the fruit can be rippen like other variety. I live in tropical country with only had 2 seasons summer and rain. Need help if you know something 🙏

      No they are common Figs they can rippen them self but from 30 fruit only 3 can manage to be rippen while other Will fall , we don't have Figs wasp here and the taste is really sweet but there must be another reason why they can't set all fruit to be rippen.

      Yes they do ,the ones from 1 to 5 gallons pots get special attention because they dry faster they should be checked every 3 weeks and water accordingly ,the other ones every 6 weeks we going to make a video of how they are stored and watered .He use a pvc pipe to pour water in the hard to reach trees.

    It is one of those trees, that will not produce roots in an AL. I have tried a dozen times
    before I found out it won't work. Although a persimmon is easy to graft. Good Luck.

    If you never prune at one point the trees are just way too big no? When it grows 8 to 12 inch you pinch it in june every per year And it doesnt grow much from that point maybe some side shoots under the new growth but at one point the tree is taller than you can reach ur going to have to do some serious pruning unless im missing something here.

    • @FigCzar
      @FigCzar  ปีที่แล้ว

      I prune as necessary, to shape the tree ,some undesirable branches ,etc, when you get a lot heat and sunlight they don't grow that much in pots ,also some varieties are more aggressive growers than others and those eventually you have to trim .If you check the trees in the videos ,specially at the beginning of the season you will notice that most of them hasn't been pruned. When you pinch the tree new branches will emerge ,it would delay the growth for a couple weeks .
