This is my first year growing figs. I started 8 cuttings under grow lights around November and one actually has a fig on new growth that is stuck at about the size of a quarter. Hopefully, it makes it and I can get a couple more figs this year with their extended growing season from being indoors.
I'll be putting them in 5 gallon sub irrigation buckets when it warms up a little bit more. Right now they are about 2-3' in 1 gallon pots. I trimmed one to about 1.5 - 2 ft to see if I can get it to branch out more.
My current cuttings are mostly unknown varieties other than a Green Ischia and one that was labeled "White" but I'm hoping to get some known cuttings soon and maybe try burying some in 5 gallon buckets with one inch holes along the side for the growing season so that I can fairly easily uproot them for storage in the garage. I'm not sure how many years I could keep uprooting the 5 gallon buckets or how large I could get the trees to be using that method yet.
The forum has been very helpful so far. Thank you everyone for the helpful information.
