Keep up the awesome videos! I look forward to purchasing cuttings from you this year! My great grandmother has had a mission type fig for over 50 years and I'm going to grab some cuttings this year. It seems like a very unique fig. Maybe I can send you some cuttings.
Hi! I'm in Spokane and I just picked up an Olympian and a VDB. Thinking of planting a Florea or Desert King as well. Any recommendations? Think it can survive over here planted against a south-facing wall?
hi! can I perhaps snag pruning leftovers from you? I'm just getting in to cloning trees after moving to seattle and discovering that figs are the absolute best fruit in the world
Hey a question, you listed VDB as one of the 5 fig trees you would keep in your garden, but you listed it very low in your scores on your website. Can I ask you why?
Where can I buy some of your cuttings? Also which variety would you recommend? I live in sunny Los Angeles California, where we get little to no rain. Thanks!
Hey Ben I have a BIG question for you.... I bought my mom a violet de Bordeaux and at first it was growing the normal hand looking leaves, but now it does look like it's growing healthy but all the leaves have changed from looking like fingered leaves to all looking like oval shaped leaves with no finger indentations on the leaves whatsoever and this has me really confused????..... Have you ever seen this? Any insight would be great because I haven't seen much researching?
I think that's normal for Violet de bordeaux. I just bought one and all the leaves were oval. However one branch started growing from the bottom and all the leaves have the typical long fingered leaves. So I have one fig tree with two different type of leaves.
Ben, I’ve read that the Olympian will hold figs overwinter that didn’t ripen in the fall and will eventually ripen the next summer. I’ve found that my really small figs do end up maturing and ripening (I assume as a breba) but am wondering about leaving the larger unripened figs on the tree to allow them to ripen next summer as well. Do you have any experience seeing this happen?
I fell asleep before your video came on. I freaked out when I heard your baby. PTSD for when my kids were young. It took me awhile to figure out where I left the baby.
I've done a couple videos on it already. =) This year it was the best it's been. Berry like with great sweetness. I have more detail on my blog seattlegardenfruit.blogspot.com/2017/08/tasting-violette-de-bordeaux-florea.html
