Summer Fig Tree Propagation | Rooting Fig Cuttings in a State of Active Growth

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ส.ค. 2024
  • We're going to do some summer fig tree propagation. Is rooting fig cuttings while in an active state of growth even possible? I get asked this question all the time so I thought I'd just do an experiment myself. What I found along our fig rooting journey shocked me and I need to share it with you. For anyone who will be moving or has limited access to a fig tree during the growing season, this is the fig propagation video for you. You're going to not only see what I'd do to propagate figs during an active state of growth with 100% success rate but I'm going to show you something that I previously thought wouldn't be practical at all. Turns out I'm wrong. Enjoy!

    Guess what?? I did it too... rooted fig tip cuttings. You just have to use rooting hormone, root riot plugs and a humidity dome... That's it and in two weeks without fail it has roots.... by the third week, you can pot them up and watch them grow... keep under humidity for a little while longer gradually weaning them off and you've got a new tree.. I have done it successfully 6 times now. T works like a charm.. And thanks for sharing Dan's work with us. That is the sign of a true professional...

    Hey Mike this was awesome! Thank you for showing us the possibilities of rooting summer figs. Super helpful, when I got some cuttings earlier this March, I couldn’t find any info on if rooting was possible during growing season, so I gave it a go and tried it myself this year on some cuttings I started rooting in a bag with a wet paper towel wrapped around the lower stems. It’s true they do work during summer. I had a lower percentage taking root one transferee to soil (presuming from transplant shock) but they still worked.
    I love your dedication to the science behind it, thank you for being so positive all the time!

    The unions/joints (nodes) will generally be the site for both branching growth and root growth. The bottom of your cutting is right at a node site. This is likely the reason for the roots developing there as well as at the node just above (versus along the internode).

      Yes, they're the best kind of cuttings. I was thinking about you yesterday while propagating some figs. I think you would do better with the really fat cuttings because they are a bigger reservoir for holding moisture in them and not as fickle as the skinny cuttings.

    I tried this with a heavily overgrown fig tree a friend in Baltimore has. Two and a half weeks later we have growth on all nine cuttings. No rooting hormone. Just cut up and shoved in used dirt from last year. Segments come from this year as well as the last three years. Thanks for the confidence to ignore the sites that said this wouldn't work.

    Lol it’s funny that u made this video because earlier this summer my grandmother and I planted a fig tree that I had grown out in the yard. It’s a white Marseille and it was the only one I had of that variety. Well when we went to plant it I had no choice but to cut a couple of branches off. They were still green but I didn’t want to waste them just in case something happened to the tree so I went ahead and planted 1 then put the other 2 cuttings in the fridge for about a week then I planted them. It wasn’t 3 weeks until all of them had big ole leaves and new green branches of they’re own!! It’s crazy how fast they rooted and are still growing compared to the usual brown cuttings!! I knew that it wouldn’t hurt for me to try and root them especially since I wouldn’t have any if something happened to the tree we planted. Luckily it’s doing great too, so it all worked out thankfully!! Also something I think is very cool is that as they’re growing they are lignifying!! Now if only I could be as lucky with my lavender which I can’t seem to keep healthy!! 😂

NOW I'm off to the field with some secateurs and will try to make some.

    I have 4 out of 5 fig twigs that busted out with the leaves and two of them are well established with branch off activity and huge leaves going on now. #5 has no sign of budding yet but I'll not give up on it. I didn't slice the rooting ends of them or even use any Clonex root starter gel on any of them since I didn't have any last October when I started the project. I'm VERY happy with the results though. They are growing so fast now and I started giving them Monty's Plant Vantage Premium Growth (8/16/8) with every watering. What a fun time I had with this 'project' and it made my long and cold Rocky Mountain winter (8000+ feet in elevation) much more bearable, watching daily to see those tiny buds finally turn green.

    Hey Mike. I have been watching you for a very long time. I have been trying to get the nerve to ask you about sending me some of your Japanese Maple seeds. I have fallen in love with this tree and I asked on facebook just like you said to for someone who has any Japanese Maple trees to either send me some or let me come get some in return for a little money or some work or some of the seedlings and so far nothing and it's been a month and a half. So I figured the only way I would ever get any was to ask the pro. I went out and bought a tent and a Marshydro grow light because of your review on it though I had to buy rhe one without a dimmer because the other one was out of my budget. Great videos. I could watch them all the time. In fact I kinda do. I am trying to start a Maple tree farm. Advice and info. as well as plants,cuttings and seed are more than welcome.

Do you live in an area where people grow Japanese maples? If so, just knock on some doors and ask people if you can pick the seeds. If not, you might want to consider if they'll grow in your area. Have fun with the light and tent, I know you'll be happy with them.

    I just successfully rooted some. I used sand, water bottles with drilled drainage holes, and I put them in a pan with a little water in it. I also propped up an open sandwich bag over the top. Probably took 2 months or so to root.

    Awesome! Those look amazing! I did some a little over a month ago. I actually have a video of them on my channel. But it is kinda just be taking them and the result. Not much information in it though. Some if them were green wood. Some might've been 3 year old wood. I didn't use any rooting hormone, never have. I just cut a branch off and chopped it up into pieces 😂

    • @MikeKincaid79
      @MikeKincaid79  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Figs need a lot of fertilizer through the growing season and and almost constant supply of moisture. If you do that the first year, the plant will vigorously produce figs the following year. That's my experience anyway.

      Mary Ann Scholl Hi Mary Ann. I have the same problem that you do. My fig is in the ground and has beautiful leaves every year but no figs. I also have never fertilized. Anyone who has taken a cutting from this fig tree gets huge figs when they grow it. I asked the New York Botanical Garden for help and they suggested an 8-8-8 fertilizer. I will try this next Spring. Good luck to both of us. Thanks for the video Mike.
