I am growing Bordeaux fig, Sunburst cherry, Chester Blackberry & Almond in Containers. I've a small porch on the 4th floor in Hamburg Germany. One room apartment 😂 The plants are doing excellent. Yep & also have incridrible tolerance to frost😊But then I never neglect them accordingly. I also had conference Pears, Victoria peaches & Jonagold apple's. But unfortunately last year they got damaged due to a freak fire accident. The yield was abundantly feasible.
@@beskamir5977 Yes, I grew up in a massive bungalow where we once had a professional gardener taking care of it & both my parent's were keen in tending that huge garden with grand collection of fruits, vegetables & flower's. My late father was a member of horticultural society. Grafting & cloning etc he would do. So I've picked up the habit from him. I very much enjoy viewing your informative videos. You've very practical approach towards growing. 👌👍 I am also in the hobby of fresh water aquarium & many more. 😁 Though I live in a very small apartment in Hamburg Lohbrügge in Germany for the past 25 year's. 😊
I have a nice variety collection 100% in containers. Worth it? It’s worth it to me if I get one ripe fig, I get a lot more than one so yes, absolutely. I’m in San Diego 10b, I grow a lot of other stuff both in ground and in containers, but my favorite is figs in containers. Love the videos!
What!?!? 50-70 for 2 year old fig in a pot? What have I been doing? About to have an existential crisis over this. My 3 year old container figs don't produce close to that! I've gotten maybe 20 at best and I thought that was pretty good already
Since figs are deciduous you can overwinter them in complete darkness. You don't need a greenhouse, a cold shed/cellar/basement/garage/etc which doesn't freeze too much is enough.
The question is, should you? Growing in pots goes against nature and requires MORE. More everything. Fertilizer, water and soil. We keep things alive that we shouldn't and want to kill things we should let live. I've seen one TH-camr recommend buying Christmas Lights and wrapping them around his citrus plants to keep them alive in the winter. At a certain point we have to draw a line. Ross, I am in regenerative agriculture and when we engage in deficit spending of our planet resources the outcomes aren't good. We don't have unlimited resources. We are literally running out of topsoil and in 50 years we will be completely out. Other estimates are much worse. What do people think is going to happen when our agricultural practices are literally destroying the very ecosystems that keep us alive?
Lol they have been using Xmas lights on fruit trees since before there were Xmas lights. Sometimes, they have to do it enmass to save citrus orchards. At one time, people would use candles or build fires in the fields to save their trees/orchards/etc. If people did "draw the line" you wouldn't be eating any of the things you enjoy. Look at maze/corn. It didn't look anything like it does now. Nor did tomatoes or anything else...untill man started to intervene.
@@ABandCalledStoned You are conflating two separate issues. Adaptation and careful selection of a crop over time to improve its genetic traits is not the same as trying to grow that crop outside of its naturally selected growing climate. And to make this crystal clear for you, I am not talking about native vs non-native. I am talking about plants that will literally die if not grown in their proper climates. The argument that they have been doing this forever and is thus OK is about as smart as your comment. Ask a soil biologist about people tilling soil. They have been doing that forever. See what they say.

Growing trees in an apartment is next level. Damn!

I grow them in containers all the time. You can put them in the garage in the winter
Hi how long does it take for the root bound issues to happen in a 25 gallon pot.
Depends on a lot of factors. 3-4 years here. Less in much more sunlight.
Excellent video, how can I eliminate nematodes in my containerized fig trees
50-75 figs in a 3-gallon? Wow. I must be doing it wrong. Gotta step up my game! :)
IMO that number would prove very challenging for “normal” conditions.
@@timcheng8165more than likely depending on different things from care, fertilizing, pruning, shape, light and age. Even zone and climate.
Can I grow fig tree in the Philippines
How do you protect potted plants in winter if you don't have a greenhouse?
This article gives a great breakdown: www.figboss.com/post/winterizing-container-fig-trees-where-to-store-them-how-to-avoid-season-ending-setbacks

😇when is the best time to plant fig ?
Spring or fall. Depends on where you live! www.figboss.com/post/planting
