Fig Fever! * 6
    #28361731 - 06/16/23 05:42 AM (7 months, 9 days ago)

I've got it boys!
Haven't been able to stop thinking about figs the last few weeks.

Any of you have some cool figs? Tasted some cool strains?
The extreme Level of Diversity between strains of Figs imo is far greater than strains of any other fruit. Flavors like Melon, Cherry, Peach, Brown Sugar, Honey, Raspberries etc...

variegated fruit with an incredible strawberry jam center





Some other strains I am Growing currently are..
Black Maderia
Black Madeira KK
White Madeira #1
"Old Suck n Fuck" (A Wild Specimen I collected from a creek in Fairfield, CA)
Celeste
White Adriatic
Black Mission
Chicago Hardy
Yellow LongNeck
Olympian
Ronde De Bordeux
Violette De Bordeux
Desert King
Improved Brown Turkey / California BT
Florea
Golden Riverside


Some Strains Im dying to get my hands on are..
Jolly Tiger
I-258
Smith
Improved Celeste
Black Celeste
LSU Tiger
LSU Hollier
English Brown Turkey
Peters Honey
Little Ruby
Bordissot Negra Rimada
Martineca Rimada
Paratjal Rimada
Unk Pastiliere
Negra D'agde
Ischia Black
Campaniere
Col De Dame Blanc
Col De Dame Rimada
Col De Dame Mutante
Col De Dame Blance Negra

Now this is what I'm talkin bout!

I was just out in the garden earlier taking cuttings from my trees!

I have Mission,  Chicago hardy,  and a a couple of others that I failed to remember what they were  :facepalm:

Mine had a rough winter though,  as it got below zero here,  which killed all of mine back to the ground. So,  no breba crop this year  :sad:

But,  as you know,  Figs are survivors,  and they are coming back out quite nicely :grin:

If you ever want to trade some of your cuttings,  I'd love to have some of your Awesome strains to add to my collection  :thumbup:

I actually just got a free fog last year. Someone was moving and just leaving stuff out to take and there was a little fig tree. Idk what kind it is. I'll post some pics later but I definitely want some fog advice idk anything about them.

I'm in Zone 7a, I want to grow some fig trees but I'm trying to figure out the best variety for extreme winters and summers. I've heard the black mission is pretty resilient.

Also have you heard of the Fignomenal variety?

They are sensitive to wet summers and early frosts. Most can take down to 18f without dying back.

If your areas problem is that it gets wet and cold before figs ripen then you want early fipening varieties like Ronde De Bordeux, Celeste, improved Celeste, Campaniere

If your problem is wet summers there are splitting resistant varieties like Smith, Improved Celeste, White Madeira #1

If your problem is freezing cold winters there are cold hardy varieties like Hardy Chicago, Olympian, Ronde de Bordeux, LSU Tiger. Like Homboy said though ^^ even if they do Die back they come back strong if they are big enough.

I have heard of Fignomenal but I dont know anything about it :O

I have some extra rooted cuttings of White Adriatic, Black Mission and Ronde de Bordeux

I'm in zone 7 too,  and all mine do great!

Chicago hardy and Black Mission are two that I have Growing. I forget the other but it makes huge honey tasting figs that rival all the others.

My Chicago hardy that died back to the ground during the winter. It was about 9 foot tall too. Alas,  it could not take the one below zero night that we had
over the winter.



Black Mission.



Unknown.

This one branch has been trying to put it some leaves for weeks now. Not sure what variety it is. I think it's a Chicago hardy, they just seem to be the only one you can get in the stores around here.

Looking great!

Chicago hardy does well in so many grow zones,  that it's going to always be the main fig that you see being sold in stores  :cool:

Mine too! I'm in 6b. I only have Chicago Hardy and this past stupid winter wiped all the branches out. It also killed one of my 12' young blue spruce trees and badly damaged the other two :frown:  Now the fig it's bouncing back very strong with lots and lots of shoots. This Fig variety seems to be slightly unpredictable in when it's going to fruit.

Ah,  that sucks about the spruce  :sad: 

But good news about the Fig! 

But yeah,  my Chicago hardy is growing back pretty well,
but I doubt I'll get much fruit from it this year. We shall see!

Good luck everybody  :cool:

Beautiful plants all around! They come back strong from the frosts.

I found someone selling golden riverside on craigslist. Hit him up and he had a nice ass fig orchard with 20+ strains

I bought Golden riverside and an Olympiam. He gave me a tree called "Florea" too.

A local Nursery was having a sale and selling trees for $10 so I got Desert King, Yellow Longneck and Improved Brown Turkey

So maybe y’all fig people could lend me a knowledge branch. I got a giant ass 3 year old dig in a pot throws fruit last two years. Only problem is it’s basically growing on the ground not upright under its own weight. Long stems with giant canopy.

Sup Feegros :cheer:

Visited the mother tree of Old Suck n Fuck yesterday to grab some cuttings and check for brebas. Get a load of this beauty! Unbothered, Moisturized, in her lane, Focused, Flourishing, living her best life. (Doesn't appear to form brebas though) Figs begin ripening at the end of August.







:splooge:

There is a fig forum called ourfigs.com Great people on there but they have an outrageous language policy. I complemented another members fig the other day by saying "GOD DAMN!" amongst other things and a question. A moderator removed the word "God" From the post... :rofl:
Their loss. They not only banned organic positive expression but also this bad ass fig that I described as tasting like watermelon. When I'm ready you Shroomerites will be the first to get this killer wild strain
:awetongue:

Here is a Link to the Inaturalist observation for the mother tree. with more pics
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/133185867


Also here is a Pic of my baby figs growing indoors

Does it have a main central trunk? is that sideways too? If the branches are still flexible enough you can stake the tree, and tie the side branches to one another to keep them up at your desired level. you can cut them free in a year or two when they are strong enough to hold their own weight.

Breba crop is done, main crop coming in, starting with Ischia black and Flanders.



This guy originally had his face buried in a fig. I guess he wanted me to get his good side!

Nice looking figs, yoshi.
Some of those look really big.

I just took some cuttings of Smith, LSU purple, and LSU gold.

Thank you Turtle, there are some nice sized fruits on the trees for sure. Hopefully the birds will share with me! When the Purple Smyrna ripens I'll post pics of those, they get tennis ball sized.

Good luck with your cuttings! I have some 1 year old 'trees' that need to be moved to larger pots.

I think my fig tree (I named it figgy smalls)
Is fruiting. Does this look like a fruit to you?

Oh I also found a site with some great fog info. https://mountainfigs.net/varieties/ they've got some good info on a bunch of different fruit plants too not just figs.

I have chicago hardy, Ronde  de bordeaux, violette de bordeaux, Campaniere, olympian, lsu purple and panache.

Plus an unknown variety that has survived In Tennessee for probably decades.

Olympian is an English brown turkey.
