Wow!!! So excited to see this! Thanks for sharing! I have a potted fig tree but would love to think I could actually plant outside, and it would survive ! Want to take a few cuttings and see if I can propagate a few more just in case . Getting ready to look at your other videos to see if you might have a prop how to😊
Always a good idea to take those cuttings first. :) More detailed "How To" video coming in the fall (when we prepare them for winter), but in the mean time, yes, just cover them with mounded mulch. Depth may depend on how cold it gets there. As mentioned in the vid, mine survived our winter with only several inches of mulch, but you can go deeper to be extra confident. Hope that helps.
@@rubenmv91 Brown turkey is one of the hardier figs, but it still will not likely survive a cold zone 5 winter without dying back to the ground unless you protect it well.
I also planted a fig tree this past fall, but just mulched a hill. Found one branch sprouting and another live branch, so that's good. This fall, I'm burying more branches.
Wow! Thanks for this! Will definitely try this on my Chicago Cold Hardy 1 year old fig tree this fall. I’m afraid it died to the ground this year as I just had a plant/tree cover on it in zone 6a.
@@8465000 Nice! Only thing with it is that it turns out to not want to bear fruit at all. Beautiful specimen this year, but just zero fruit set. Interestingly enough, my Hardy Chicago is the most productive and may ripen approximately 40 fruits! I guess there's a reason why many call the Hardy Chicago/ Mount Etna varieties great, reliable figs.
