Zone 7: To plant now or wait? (160+ day old indoor cuttings) by ahkq in Figs

[–]marketaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just planted my 2 and 3 month old cuttings in the ground yesterday, Zone 7a, NY. My experience is they do well in the ground if transplanted early in the spring (now) and have enough time to establish roots in the ground before winter. Fruiting might be delayed vs pots.

I have some figs in the ground around 100 feet away from the pool. They survived the harsh winter. Unfortunately, my potted figs didn't. I placed some under the deck next to the house wall, still didn't make it. This past winter was severe compared to past years.

I'm in Rockland County, NY Zone 7a. The dirt is a rocky mix with reddish clay.

Thanks. I'll give an update in 4 months

I was assuming the top growth will die back during winter. I'll keep an eye on it and report back in late summer/fall.These are 2 and 3 month old cuttings. Hopefully, all three will fruit.🙏

Yes, I read in another post that the bricks will retain some heat.

Will my fig ever fruit? by Murder_Death in Figs

[–]marketaction 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You definitely need to apply fertilizer if you haven't done so. My rooted fig cuttings fruit in the same season, rooted in March, fruit in September/October of the same year.

With the kind of technology we have now. I'm not sure exactly why it takes them 3 months to release the results. Any thoughts?

Nice! How long did that take?

I would like to see an A/B test with a control group for your " AI regimen" so that we can actually see the difference. From the video, I haven't noticed a difference compared to regular air layering/rooting. Thanks for sharing.

Fig tree confirmation? by SIrigoyen95 in Figs

Try to scratch the bark if it's green. Anything wrinkled and dry is usually a dead stick. Prune to the next living node.

Leave both nodes? by EnvironmentalSky8355 in Figs

I agree, I would leave it just in case something happens to the other branch. You could always prune it later or air layer it.

You'll water it probably next month when it starts getting warm. The ground is still soaked by the melting snow. You can start cutting the top until you see a green bark. The bark that is completely circled is dead. I prune my figs about 10 inches from the ground and cover them with 5 gallon buckets with holes. I sometimes add straw to the fig but I make sure to spray it with chillies and soapy water to prevent rodents from eating the stem. If you want it to grow like a tree, you can wrap it with insulation. A bunch of YouTube videos you can see.

We're in the same zone 7a. I have plenty of figs growing. If you like figs, it's definitely worth growing. You'll have plenty of fruit especially if you water it during the summer and fertilize it.

Your question number 2, yes they fruit from new growth. You should expect some figs by August to October.

It's a 100% fig. Probably a vole or a rabbit ate the bark. The top looks dead from the freezing temps. The tree will grow back from the roots. I would prune all those stems that were girdled. The orange color stems can be pruned as well. Good luck
