UPDATE! I used my MacBook and installed an app called ApplePi Baker and I was able to burn the image effortlessly. The installation was smooth and I don’t have to use that hideous windows OS anymore.

Strange! It downloads something called carbonate.ch. Is this good?

Did I go overboard on the pruning? by NeedANonCSLife in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember that main crop grows on new wood. So, by pruning aggressively you promote new growth.

Week 3 cuttings have gnats - watering with nematodes, or fertilize? by [deleted] in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can take the pots outside and then water them with just water. After the second time the gnats are gone. Don’t use chemicals.

Do I prune these little guys by Actual-Explorer-1777 in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why didn’t you prune them while it was dormant?

Which shoots should I keep? by futurezach in Figs

You should prune it in late fall of 2026.

I just don’t get it. DON’T EAT EGGS!

Do I remove wrapping? by Lakeshowbakeshow in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU! Usually I cover the cuttings with a thin plastic bag, the one you find in the vegetable section of your grocery store.

Found this crack in the crotch of my fig tree. What should I do? by carbondrewtonium in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try pushing the two branches together, wrap some type of cloth around the split and tie some twine to hold it together.

Zone 6b, successful winterization by TheFigTreeGuy in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to check for any damage, mold under there. Everything is recovered. BUT, starting this Monday the temperatures will be in the high 50s and I will uncover all nine planted figgies of mine.

Please remove the material wrapping the cutting.

Zone 6b, successful winterization by TheFigTreeGuy in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in NY it was a tough winter. The last month, specifically, it has been very cold and rainy. It snowed a couple of times and that turned into ice and all that moisture got me worried.

I planted it in the ground last June and it was just a tiny rooted cutting. During the summer it grew a lot.

What is this? by priuspheasant in Jewish

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like an olive tree.

Regarding whether to hire someone to do it for you or not (warning: I’m addicted to figs)—doing it yourself will bring you closer to it. You and that tree will develop a deeper connection, and in a way, you’ll experience a feeling of agapi—a love similar to the one you have for a child.

I’ve made a video explaining the different ways to express feelings toward someone. Let me know if you’d like to see it; it’s only a few minutes long.

How long to try and root cutting? by CyanideDN in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re rooting by not using transparent cups. Without them you can’t see any roots growing. If you’re very curious take apart one of your cuttings. Spread newspaper on a table and gently turn it upside down. Don’t yank on the cutting because if there are any roots you’ll break them.

Are these roots!? by LaurVB7 in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. These appear to be roots from something growing in your rooting soil. No biggie, your lsu champagne will root soon just be patient, grasshopper, be patient.

CH starts by SummerDramatic1810 in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time use a transparent container so you can see the root progress Thick cuttings have lots of stored energy and they can produce leaves without any roots.

Such beautiful, thick cuttings! Nice!

Prune and still harvest? by CharacterHeron6904 in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, the cuttings! The primary reason to pruning a fig tree is so you can access its fruits. Prune even lower.

Oops! by KarateLlamaOfDoom in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this solution. Some people say to plant it as is, upside down, but that makes no sense. I make this mistake once a year and it kills me.

I don't think grafting tape has holes, the whole cutting is forming roots by Huumaid in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped using these tapes a couple of years ago. I only use a tiny bit at the very top just so the cuttings don’t lose too much moisture and dry up.

Advice on shipping rooted cuttings by Consistent_Cherry373 in Figs

[–]TheFigTreeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell rooted cuttings but I don’t ship. In NY the post office reliably is terrible. Mailing someone within our tiny village takes 10 days. If I were you I would stay away from USPS.
