I love it that you do this. Our climates are similar enough that this gives me confidence about choosing varieties to grow. So looking forward to growing season!

Thanks Ross, for the detail in these varieties. I really appreciate your time and energy you put into your podcasts. 💟

Thank you for your reasonings. It is totally right that the best performing figs would have the best chance to taste at their best. Then comes preference of flavors. I'm just getting into finally getting a fig plant that Ive put off for years for various reasons. And your videos have helped me get an idea for caring for and choosing a variety or two or three to try for my area... 7(7a) in CT. Thank you

@theporchorchard8800 3 года назад

Great stuff as usual. Ive managed to collect 7/8 of these varieties based on your recommendations. We'll see how many will make the cut in 5b/6a!

Hey Ross, longtime. I just lost my avocado and mango tree and I got bummed out and stopped uploading and checking vids. But life goes on, picked up a new avocado AND... I got a violette de bordoux so now I'm up to TWO fig trees. Woohoo!! Here it begins... next will be a black madeira most likely. Hope all is well.

I live in north California super dry during the summers and pretty chilly during the winter maybe freezing three or four weeks at most threw out the year and totally blazing sun the rest

I found the volume of this video a bit low to hear?

Yup

Down here in south mississippi 8b black madeira does not grow very well, colonial lipmans black cross or a smith are some of the best for my climate

As you request on your Facebook page, I am asking my question here on RU-vid. The photos regarding the mystery fig are posted on facebook named - Lets Get Figgy (no apostrophe) I understand that from the leaves alone it is difficult to determine the possibilities of a figs origin. That being said, the leaves are very firm and a bit rough to the touch. The back side have a well defined and predominate venation pattern. The owner of the tree that these cuttings came from, was not able to share much information regarding the characteristics of the figs other than "thay grow form green to yellowish green and then fall off when they are ripe", as he puts it : )

@RossRaddi 3 года назад

Couldn't say without the fruit! Thank you for following my wishes.

@bimmercrazy1 3 года назад

Great video as always Ross. Do you have an recommended Texas fig growers to follow on RU-vid or ourfigs.com? We live in Austin, TX (8B).

@CanisSapien 3 года назад

Hi Ross, have you grown all of these in the ground here, or only in pots that you bring in for the winter? I have room for 5 fig trees here in Hatfield, not far from you. I plan on planting them permanently on a south wall.

@viliamstojka4420 3 года назад

Great info! Your audio is a little low (even the previous videos). Adjust your mic.

@TheJosuetico 3 года назад

Hi Ross: I see you have Smith in your list. I read in a nursery information that it was good up to USDA Zone 8. Do you have this variety in the ground or on pot. If on the ground, do you protect the tree from the Winter colds? I bough some cuttings, and fine out after the fact that was tolerant to zone 8; I'm in zone 7b. For now I'm planning in keep it on a pot and place it inside my greenhouse during the Winter. I-258 also shows up to zone 8, do you have any problems with this variety?

@BIG_BLACK_FLOCK 3 года назад

Taste-wise...I make Mead(Facebook Felton's Mead) what fig would you suggest? I live in Delaware 7a-7b cusp.

@steveboyer2976 3 года назад

Hey Ross, on your spreadsheet, do you consider your "runners up" better than your "keepers" or is it the other way around?

@RossRaddi 3 года назад

Runners up require more information. Keepers are figs that are a step down from the very best. The information is known.

@tracytvy 3 года назад

Do you have a suggestion were I can get some cuttings of your top two varieties on this list?

@RollTheWindowsUp_WISAD 3 года назад

Got to hit the fig bidding site he has

@RossRaddi 3 года назад

Next year during November/December. I'm all sold out.

@Algeriafigs 3 года назад

Hi Ross just wondering if Verdino and Verdino del nord are the same fig varieties?

@RossRaddi 3 года назад

They are not.

@connorwestgate 3 года назад

hey ross, im in zone 5/6 my list for outdoors sheltered but not protected (that are on your list ) includes albo, improved celeste, white triana, ronde de bordeaux, violete de bordeux. what do you think? zone 6 hardy? also have you ever trialed these varieties (florea, black bethlehem)

@RossRaddi 3 года назад

Those are all great choices in Z6.

@connorwestgate 3 года назад

@@RossRaddi thanks for the reply, hopefully i have success

@chloe7seven22 3 года назад

I guess this is for professional fig growers? I wish he'd just show the figs and not something akin to a spreadsheet. I loved his tomato tasting. That's more apt for a youtube platform.still I do watch. I'm just starting out. Good cheer

@RossRaddi 3 года назад

All good. I do have tasting videos on each one.

@RossRaddi 3 года назад

Consider it an introduction to each variety as I'll be talking a lot more about each of them in the future. And even further I hope they get into the hands of the masses.

@Chris-bx4vk 3 года назад

Plenty of quick vids on taste tests out there.. Ross is the man for providing detailed information once you sink your teeth into the hobby. He knows his stuff
