    BrooklynMatty's Fig Orchard Tour 2016

    I figured i would jump on the video making experience and share my orchard with everyone, most of what you will see is 1st year plants. I only have about 5 plants that are from last year, so you'll see the growth that some can expect in a season. Most of my cuttings were started in Late January, and the rest through March. Hope you guys enjoy the video, i can do followups on any plant or area in particular if you want.

    I missed some source names by accident, and i ommited a handful on purpose. I apologize if i missed thanking you, i thank everyone now

      Beautiful orchard I like the pavers Keeps everything neat and clean a shame you can't keep your trees there next year but I am sure you will come up with something just as nice :-)

      I know the osmocote is basically macro. That's why I supplemented with FP since it has them all. I like the garden tone since I think it stays longer and breaks down longer in this quick draining mix.

      I'm really not a user of CRF's but have been trialing the two (2) Osmocotes for almost 2 seasons, since its recommended by growers...
      Did you mix the Foliage Pro @ 1 teaspoon / gallon? Thanks.

      Yea - i'm going to try not using CRF next year, i think they wash out too quick. I was using 2tsp per gallon since i was watering every other week. 1tsp if you do it weekly.

    Dang Dude!!! That is quite the jump from what I saw in your garage! The DK went nut, it is a shame it did not produce and Brebras!!

    Everything looks amazing, great job. Looks like you need about 50 more!!!

      I've taken to shooting them in the butt with a cold jet of water from the garden hose.

      Cant get out in time to do that, i think motion sprinkler like fabio mentioned might be good investment next year.

      Awesome job Ross - my wife was asking what i was watching that was 1 hour long on my phone. Great video, if i had the storage space on my phone i wouldve done more non fig stuff and talked more on the figs themselves.

    The squirrels might like that...food and a shower after their meal. Lol.

    Ross, you have many great fruit trees! Great job on the espaliers. I am always just a little envious of you East Coasters :-)...such nice big yards!

      Great videos Matt. Impressive collection. How tough do you think it is going to be digging up the semi-in ground containers?

        Matt that would be greatly appreciated. The last two winters I've been unsuccessful with RdB cuttings. Lost to overwatering during the cup stage after significant roots in the coir bin. Very frustrating since it is not a particularly difficult variety to root.

        NP Bill. I can try and get one started for you if you want in the spring, so you'll have one rooted and you can pick up locally. Let me know

        That would be awesome and very generous of you. May still ask for a few cuttings to try myself.
