Making it to the hundred gram club with 119 gram yellow long neck!

[Salvatore]

My first-ever yellow long neck fig started from cuttings last year 10-21-20. 119 grams! Big, delicious, figgy, sweet taste.I love this fig!! What made it open up like that?

[Halligan-]

Looks tasty!
Those big yellow figs are just good eating, So good!

[Vitooch1]

Nice Salvatore!! That’s impressive. Most likely rain has caused your splitting. Are you getting these figs with using dr bugbees method?

[It Could use another day]

What is dr bugbee method?

[Vitooch1]

Dr bugbee is a biologist teacher who teaches about optimal growth on plants. There’s a good video on you tube https://youtu.be/dXkYPN3HD6A

[Ktrain]

A beauty!

[2AngelsMushrooms]

That's just fun! Big ol' fig!

[Otis]

That's a beauty. I like a lot of the big, yellow ones. I'm looking forward to a Golden Riverside and Dr Gowaty that are still young yet, but growing well.

[TorontoJoe]

fico paffuto... nice!

[Frankenberry]

Very nice!

[Bren55]

Very nice, I always look forward to eating those.

What size pots are those trees in? How do you keep them from flipping over in the rain and wind? That's such a problem. How do you deal with that issue?

[Realtorbyday]

Thanks for the link... interesting article! I really struggle with this whole wind thing. Love the squatty pots too. It's really hard to tell sizes in the pics. How will you attach the pots/trees to the guide wire part? What keeps them attached?

[PacNorWreck]

Similar wind issues here (I grow on my roof) - things that work for me:

- Larger pots
- SIPs (extra water weight)
- Pruning for a lower trunk, shorter scaffolds
- Grouping pots in groups of 3 so they support each other
- Wrapping trunks together

Honestly though when a particular tree starts blowing over a lot that’s usually a signal that I want to give it a bigger pot.

[Realtorbyday]

I also do the huddling/grouping them together thing. It helps.

[ZingsFigs]

Looks great, I have some figs on my Yellow long neck and Robert’s Golden Rainbow, they look to be the same fig. I can not wait to taste them.
