thanks for the planting spot tips.. will be worth a try next year

guess it's active enough that I can take cuttings so glad we took the 2nd shelf out before we put it in there.. it fit under the 1st set of lights when we brought it inside

Very good, Allison. Exciting to see that growth.

I have Brown Turkey and Lattarulla, both produce two crops a year here in the Pacific Northwest, Williamette Valley, Oregon. Many times the second crop doesn't have enough time to ripen.
By planting them against this shed gives them an East and South exposure (all day sun), which I think helps them ripen in our cooler growing conditions.



Allison, how interesting to see it setting fruit indoors. : )

I haven't been watering all that often either.. totally shocked

It makes my mouth water just seeing that little fig. : )

Oh boy, that little green fig is a whole lot of promise! It makes me want to grow figs more than ever!

Mary, I can give you starts from mine. I gave rooted cuttings to a neighbor 4 years ago and she actually had figs this last year.

Thanks, Lynn. I'll be visiting our family again this week and will call you. Please send me your phone # in a tree mail.

Sending you tree mail.

So you brought your cuttings inside? My poor sticks have had to brave the elements... no wonder.....

I had brought in tiny plants this past fall.. I was not sure if they would return for me.. so until I had back ups rooted.. I didn't want to chance it.. this year I will plant some in the ground and keep backups in the house next winter

You so smaht!

Here is a link for more information on Brown Turkey fig. Common Fig (Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey')
Read the comments towards the bottom of the entry. : )

Tanks!!!

My Lattarula seems to be just as tough as Brown Turkey.
It will be fun to see how the outdoor planting does. You might have to give it a little extra protection the first year. Once the roots really get going, they can handle colder temps.

thanks for the link.. I didn't realize they had the sappy inside.. will put gloves on

The latex doesn't seem to bother me, I hold on to the branch away from the cut.

I buy non latex gloves.. even a bandaid gives me a rash if it's not the non latex kind
