Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. Im Karolina.
I got into a learning mode to create a food forest in the desert on our 1 acre property over the last few years. Recently I became obsessed with figs and which varieties to grow. I learned there are many hundreds of different varieties! I'm now very interested in collecting rare or unheard of (to most people) varieties that have a wonderful taste I figure it will captivate others to want to garden as well when they taste these amazing flavors! Truth be told, I have only tasted a black mission from the store and my imagination runs wild at the flavor profiles I've read about. My preference (I believe from what I have read) is toward complex / any berry flavors and also the honey varieties. Im currently starting my first fig cuttings in the garage, and they are coming along (most are rooted and have their first leaves)!
My current stick collection includes:
Violette de Bordeaux
Ronde de Bordeaux
Negronne
Marseilles Black VS
Italian Honey
Verte Green Ischia
Vasilika Sika
Red Lebanese Bekaa
Nero 600m
Bourjassotte Grise
Malta Black
Hoping I do well for my first time. I am still deciding whether I am in over my head or this is reasonable amount for a first timer (about 35 total cuttings)... Looking to connect with others, lean on their experience, learn, exchange and grow more figs! Any advice, pointers or recommendations are appreciated
Ive uploaded some current pics. The first one is the approximate root size of cuttings when they were transplanted from their plastic shoeboxes with coconut coir to their own tree pots. The others are of the collection in general. Think I'm coming down with fig fever!
