Just a suggestion. In future, please give avg temps instead of just saying "cold" and "really cold." The word "cold" by itself is relative. Really cold to someone in Florida or in the UK may be -2°C/28°F, where as a midwest gardener, I think cold is -15°C/ 5°F (though still warm enough to run out and check for eggs whilst wearing nothing more than shorts, a t-shirt and clogs, lol), and really cold is below -26°C/ -15°F. Good vid, though. Cheers.
@@bluegrassdiggers9030 Depends on where in Canada. For example Ontario is Z6 and is, on average, around 15 to 20 degrees WARMER in winter than here in our Z5 pocket in the Ozarks.
I use 1 gallons for starter fig tree rooted cuttings. Once they fill out the 1 gallon with plenty of roots, I switch to the 5 Gallon. When that gets root saturated, I let it dry out and move to either a 15 Gallon pot or a 25 Gallon if I'm going to keep the tree. It works for me. Starter 1 Gallon, about three months. 5 Gallon, about 1 to 2 years. 15 Gallon up to 5 years. 25 or in the ground, it's a keeper.
Like your video on the pots an size which one to use my best method is over many years is pots in ground with holes at the side every 3 inches apart less watering an feeding an never have rootball or pruning only if you have a lot of space best method be far cheers
My experience with figs is that they a have wild crazy root system. Shallower, yes, but extensive. How long have you had your figs in the square planters?
Most 5 gal buckets are not UV resistance so break down if exposed to lots of sunlight. More expensive 5 gal buckets or nursery pots last longer when left in sunlight.
Great analysis but I disagree on your thoughts on how long the paint bucket pots will last. The ones I have used are not UV protected and they fall apart after a couple of years.
Use a tip I learned from Dan on his channel Plant Abundance... buy a roll of burlap or other similar fabric and wrap your pots in them. It will keep them cooler, look nicer, as well as prevent a majority if not all UV degradation. 👍
I would like your opinion on a great and trustworthy place to buy fig cuttings now that you've shown me how to start the cuttings and which pot to buy. I appreciate it and I live in Wisconsin so I understand cold. I would also like to know where you winter over yout trees? Thanks so much. I just joined and am learning a lot from you.
@@reginemaeareola9822 right after the first frost but check out this video for all the details ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rzzyYtzupeg.html and stay tuned to my channel for more important details about this subject in the weeks ahead.
The only reasonable answer to that will only ever be "it depends". A better question is, what factors affect how often to water fig trees or any other plant?"
Hi, I noticed in one of you videos you have loquat trees in pots. Can you do a video on how you keep yours in the winter? I am in zone 5 in Southern Ontario.
The Dude Abides : 'It kinda depends on what type of Fig tree you have , you know, not all Fig trees are exactly the same .Different ones grow in different ways. Ok ay And that's part of the reason why I have so many Fig trees "
