How to Propagate Fig Trees -Easy and Effective- 

That is awesome!

Yeah, it worked well to root, but they were slightly less viable/ more fragile for transplanting.

Thank you! It really is so simple! Thank you for your feedback and support!

Yes! Happy to share

Megan G thank you! Yes, definitely!

Thank you! Yes, super simple! I’ll put your name of one!

I know right. I used the cuttings from my neighboor figtree🙏🏾

Alyson Viducich Thank You! I’m glad you are enjoying them!

Glad it was helpful!

Same. My (I think) great, great, great, great grandma who was born and raised in the middle east brought a fig tree from there when she came to America and that tree has been following my family for generations, when we move we cut off a branch and grow it, currently the fig tree that is growing right now has been in my backyard for almost 30 years and it is humongous and to be honest I don't know how it has survived cuz we do not take care of it at all, we just left it to do it's thing, and it has gone through an attack of an invasive vine in my yard, freezes, and droughts but always produces delicious fruit and I'm currently trying to grow the fig tree since we are most likely going to move again, so wish both you and I luck on continuing this tradition

@@chappiethedog If there is any way, I would love to have some cuttings from that tree. Any idea what kind of fig it is? If interested, I am heading to turn on my email in my channel. Please reply to this comment.

Deirdre Carlson thank you! You definitely should!

I wish you the best of luck this year!

Glad it was helpful!

Happy to share!

You’re welcome! Sounds great!

All reservations are spoken for but there I have a bunch of trees that I’ll post to IG stories in a couple weeks. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you! I appreciate you sharing this feedback

I’m so glad to know that!

Awesome!

Thank you

Sleepless In The Carolinas you’re welcome! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

My pleasure

icouldjustscream it really is! Sounds cold, but I’m sure y’all grow some delicious apples and pears!

Whitney Lynch I’ve seen large fig trees cut down to a stump and the green back. Now I’m not recommending you do that but I’ll just say that they are quite resilient and very tolerant of heavy pruning in most situations.

Urban Farmstead Would we cut back our overgrown fig down low all at once or gradually over a few years?

Thank you!

Yeah, super easy! Thank you!

Figs basically sell for $1/each now. I moved into a house that has an amazing fig bush in the corner of the yard by the street. It makes hundreds if not thousands of figs every year. I work with a bunch of middle eastern people, and bring figs into work as often as I can. Everyone is always excited when I do, apparently figs are the favorite breakfast food in a lot of Mediterranean countries. Of course I eat a lot on my own, and my girlfriend and I make Fig jam as well as slicing them and dehydrating them. It’s like candy. My house has been here since 1963, and I know people my age (I’m 51) that grew up in my neighborhood and still live here today that they’d stop at my fig bush as children on their way to the bus stop to eat figs. I’ve had 3 different people ask me for cuttings off of the bush. Now I know how to do it properly. Thank you so much for this helpful video!

vito Fall thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it

Myha D thank you! Happy to share! You’re on the list! #10

Jenice Smith thanks! Yes, surprisingly simple and effective! Grape vines.

Thank you! They weren’t in complete darkness, but that’s correct, they don’t really need light when rooting.

they are rare but they thrive here. you're welcome

Awesome! Any type of mulch between cups should be good, even dry leaves if they are tree of disease, or shredded paper.

He's putting them on a heat mat because of the time of year. If it's warm enough for the tree to be actively growing, I'd guess that you can dispense with the heat mat. :) I would go with the potting soil though, as it helps with moisture management until the roots have started.

Thank you

Amy Baggott great! Yes I did but in a more rudimentary way.

When do you gather your cuttings? I live in central Va

Bill Vanderlind I take cuttings in early spring before bud break. We do host a farm stand but not on a regular schedule.

They need humidity so that helps, I’ve got my first cuttings in the garage with a light.

Cheers

marques ochoa great! I’ll put your name on one👍🏼

Thank you. Best in mostly shade

If I understand correctly, the opposite is true. Fruit grows on the new growth so pruning before the new growth won’t hurt the fruiting.

Thank you! I live in Sacramento

Thank you for sharing your support

Thank you

You're welcome sir

Thank you! There are already ten reserved but I’ll add you to the list because I just updated the description. 👍🏼

Thank you! Yes, sometimes, but they go away once I plant out.
