There's a great Q&A video by Madison Citrus Nursery. Right off the bat, Herschell names his favorites, and I'm pretty sure Kishu was up there. Worth watching.
Hello! I bought an I-258 fig tree from you earlier this year when I went out to your beautiful place. I was wondering if you have Texas BA-1, LSU Strawberry, and the del sen juame gran varietiey trees? There was also a col de dame variety that you highly recommended when we chatted. I know you had a lot of air layers going when I went. If you have any young trees to sell, I'd love to take a few off your hands.
@@matthewj.sanchez2425 hello! I had sold all the ones you saw earlier this year. But should have all those varieties coming late winter going into spring of next year. I’ll let you know. Thanks for all the support! I appreciate it.
They look great I’m in NC putting my Citrus in the greenhouse for the winter. I have two of the Kishu trees in pot’s maybe they will fruit next year, still young. I have about 20 citrus to get into the greenhouse for the winter. I really enjoy your citrus videos a lot. Please keep us updated as to how things are going.
That’s been one of toughest things this year. My worst enemy has been possums and squirrels. Especially towards the end of the year. Besides trapping and relocating them I’m looking at doing something different next year. I’ll keep you updated.
I just bought cuttings of this one without first doing my usual insane level of research, so I'm relieved to find your video (and that it really does have hints of cherry!)
Just stumbled on your channel and I'm super impressed. Been thinking about a setup exactly like this and here you've already done it. Man, this is impressive. I'd be curious to know more details about the greenhouse and its function, such as tree spacing, how much it's extended your season, what location/zone you're in, etc. Your channel is a goldmine of info for fig growers and there are so many videos I could think of for you, lol. Anyway, I'm impressed and this gets me excited. Thanks, and subscribed.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks a lot! I appreciate those kind words. So this high tunnel is 102x34, about 20 feet tall in the middle and 10 ft roll down sides. I would go as high as you can due to these trees growing fast and getting in as much air flow as you can. The spacing is around 4 feet but if I was to do it over I would go to about 8ft bc they get big fast. I do trim them for cutting and air layers which helps out with their current spacing. We generally start getting our figs around late April through about the following January every year. The bulk coming in June through late October. I’m in zone 8a and we usually get to around 5-10 degree for about 1-5 nights out of the year which is a killer for a lot of our figs trees. For us getting an early start and a late finish really helps to promote a lot more figs at our market. Thanks for tuning in. You got some amazing content on your channel. Just subscribed!
I'm enjoying a bunch of your videos. I found this video by searching "cold hardy" in your video section. It doesn't look like you've made a video talking about good cold hardy varieties. You obviously have a lot of experience growing figs. I'm not sure where your growing location is but do you have some recommendations on fig varieties that would do well in zone 7A-7B that are really good at producing a plentiful bounty of figs? I'd rather not have a tree that outputs really tasty figs but there are so very little available each year. I'm currently trying to grow Smith and Moro De Caneva. 1st year growing.
@@jimbrown341 that’s a tough question because I don’t live in that zone. But at least for myself in my zone you couldn’t go wrong with Smith, Saint Rita, CAMPANIERE, teramo, sister Madeline’s green Greek, prosciutto unknown, Sucrette and Navids dark Greek. They tend to produce delicious figs and they are generally cold hardy. Hope that helps. Thanks.
Great video I live in the high desert southern California zone 9a I would love to grow your fig cuttings here do you give away or sale your cuttings at the end of the growing season
When i see someone's genovese nero AF seems like very good, but when i see ur genovese nero is a fire too. I just get GN (not AF) and worry it is not gonna good as GN AF. But with ur GN corfirmation makes me feels better 😄👍
