Iām excited this year as I will be getting a fig that I can plant here!! Yea! Many will grow here, so far a friend here has had his best luck with Florea, so he is going to air layer a piece for me. This year we got down to -16 and he had some die back, but not all of it died to the ground. Even if it does, it will produce some fruit anyway. I will have others in pots, brought in the house. I canāt wait though to get it. I will not be putting in the ground to maybe next spring.
Hurray!
Thanks. Nice looking plants, curious how they will look in a few years.
Iām also excited as some of my fruit buds survived the -16F temps this winter. Not all but some. My blackberries were pretty much all killed this time last spring, but this year my protection techniques worked and Iām going to have a decent crop. itās going to be a good year.
Richard, are these trees in your back yard?
Every one.
Boy that Fig looks healthy! Thatās a neat looking tree. I never seen a fig tree before. Richards Sunny Oasis!
they are both Morus nigraās
i couldnāt see if this mulberry is fruiting, and i presume it is. If it is fruiting, has any of them ripened yet?
It fruits a few times a year. So far none this year.
thanks. Reason i ask is because have two varieties in our yard, black beauty and noir of spain, and both are on their third year. They fruit only once a year(spring), but the past two years, fruits will only reach red color and then drop off before they turn purple. Was thinking they get aborted because the specimens i have are still tiny, not much more barely 2 ft tall. So hoping current fruits would finally reach purple stage.
i also have gerardi dwarf and pakistani, and they will bear fruits to maturity on the same year they are planted, regardless of size.
Sounds like a cultural problem.
sure does, and sure wish i knew what, lol
How old is the Kadota? And how tall
Kadota and Janice Seedless Kadota are two different cultivars. Mine is the latter. I started it as a cutting in 2012 from a tree at my previous home. In January 2015 I transplanted it from a 25 gallon pot to the present location. Overall it is about 4 feet tall.
Richard, how is the taste difference between the two different figs?
In blind taste tests people rate JSK well above K.
Gordon Apple on M-111 rootstock. This tree is essentially evergreen in my location. Discernable on the extreme left and right are fruit sets from December. The tree is also noticeably in bloom. I expect 3 crops this year.
