So in June, I decided to try some air layering with trade gallon sized pots on some side shoots on my in ground figs(at ground level). It seems to have worked pretty well, but how do you get the roots to stay in the stupid pots. And of course, now at the end of the season, I find out I probably would have gotten a lot more ripe figs if I had just pruned those extra shoots. O well, always keep learning.

If you keep an air gap between the pot and the ground they will "air prune".Paul Robert,Simi Valley,Ca. 9b

That's absolutely gorgeous, those roots are amazing. Great job, I think everyone is jealous of that air layer. Any pics of the full plant now it's hopefully transplanted? What variety was this?May the Figs be with you!

They are Hardy Chicago. I am potting them up today and putting them in an unheated area. The very top of a couple of them were too green and got nipped by the cold, but they still average about 40 inches tall.Hi my name is Art.
