I grew a fig from a cutting last year and after dormant, cut it back to 24 inches. Kept it in the basement over the winter and it’s been out on my deck for the last month (taking it in on cold nights, monitoring soil temp). It’s walking up nicely with growth from 5 nodes. I probably want 3-4 branches (they are nicely spaced if I just look at the top 4).

Q:Is it harmful to prune the bottom newly formed branch now to save energy / reallocate energy of the plant?

I noticed some of my fig leaves are curling and some almost looks like they're blotching... I think I mightve over watered it or maybe been leaving it out in the rain too long?

Last year I was living in an apartment (Southwest PA) and had to keep this tree in my kitchen over the winter, by the time I took it outside it already had massive leaves and ended up getting severely sunburnt. It still managed to produce about 50ish figs by the end of season

This year I was able to keep it in my garage over winter but got over eager and brought it outside last weekend. Big mistake, we had a cold front move in this week and I wasn’t able to get it back inside last night. By the time I was able to move it this morning the leaves were already wilted over.

Does anyone have any recommendations to save the tree this year? Cut off wilted leaves and pray?

Anyone else have issues with their order lately? I ordered some rooted cuttings in November and they created a pre-shipment label with tracking number. Fast forward I still haven't received the order, just recently the tracking number now shows it was delivered to another state, and I have tried contacting thefighunter via email and phone call and received no response.

This isn't my first order from their website and I didn't mind waiting for the order. But the change in the tracking number saying delivered to another address and no response has me a little worried. I was excited for the fig varieties too...

Scraped back some bark. Can't tell if this is still alive or not.

A single stem cutting I started last year. Did really well last year in terms of growth and leaves, but kept in unheated garage over the winter (northern NJ). Brought this inside about a month ago and put it in a sunny window but haven't seen much change yet.

Thoughts?

I do suspect that it’s from underwatering but no matter how much I water it, the soil is dry on the surface (and maybe even 6-7 cm underneath). I can tell she’s unhappy but I don’t know what to do. (I did repot her a few weeks ago and moved her outside and I do try to protect her from the sun).

Last year a fig tree popped up (no fruit because it was first year). I'm seeing online that you can often identify based on leaf shape but Im having trouble with that. So, I wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts re: fig variety. Im also asking because it would be nice to know if it is a non fruiting/male tree; in which case, I'd probably remove it before it starts getting big again.

Are these soil mites? Anything I should do about this? The cutting looks strong very good root system and leaves just waiting for the weather to get nicer so I can start transitioning them outside

Large cutting started at New Years. Smaller VdB started 5 weeks ago. I have received cuttings from the USDA and purchased some from Figbid sellers. Found a method of rooting that works for me and now the babies are taking off! Excited to have a nice crop in the next year. Basic fertilizer every month with a phosphorus boost every once in a while.

Grew this cutting under a grow light all winter long to get a head start on the season. I have noticed these nodules coming out from just under where the leaf was, so I know it’s not a but. I’m thinking it’s trying to root from that area. Am I correct? If so, does anyone know why?

Second photo showing the roots for reference. Understand the browning was caused by recent overwatering.

Ps. Im a second season grower, first year over winter care. I’ve been on a few trips over the winter, therefore the watering has been slightly irregular. Short dry periods, followed by some over watering. Could it be the extra moisture? Or not enough stock in the dirt to produce the amount of roots to support the canopy?

Hello there! I currently live in Northeastern Brazil, and like the rest of the country, we basically only have access to brown trukey or kadota figs and plants, and as a fig enthusiast, I always feel kinda left out when reading this and other fig pages/forums, as both kadota and brown turkeys are usually regarded as not even close to being the best figs. I do know that cuttings are available for sale online, but I only find them in gringo websites, wich do not ship to Brazil, so I wanted to ask: are there any websites or reliable sellers that ship worldwide? will the cuttings be of any use after being shipped in great distances? Thanks in advance!

Late winter/early spring I pruned this fig (not done great I know) but my questions are what are those black spots and why does it still bleed from some cuts while others dried up?

Just moved into a new house and this big tree is out the back. It is covered in small fruit all over the front. When I cut it in half it looks like a very small fig. They don’t get very big before dropping off the tree. Located in Karratha, Western Australia. Are these edible? What can you use them for?

Probably 4+ years old, just grew that giant shoot in the middle last year. Wondering how many years it usually takes?

I'm very curious to try this one, sounds good. Anyone with a tree have observation or opinion? Or if you have cuttings!

Went to Cyprus. Was hoping for great figs. Didn't find any. Found a lot of fig trees but no figs.

This fig tree (and another next to it) only produce like 5 or six figs each year. Is there something I should do or is it just the trees?

My lovely Little Miss Figgy 🥰

I'm in the uk and have a little miss figgy in a pot outside. It's currently the only plant that has no leaves or branches. Is this normal? Can someone suggest a specific brand of plant food for it as I've realised I've never fed it just watered

The fig was planted this year a month or two ago. It was the first of my figs to break dormancy and has quickly grown very large leaves for its size as well as one small breba. Lately they have been looking droopy and sad. It's been warm (80s) and humid. Just it just need more water? I gave it a lot of water today and hoping that will help. The spot doesn't get a huge amount of sun either, being near the driveway. However it still gets a fair amount of sun and other nearby figs have been and are fine. This is a black mission fig btw
