Fig trees and cuttings / Bogddy Alfa Fig Tree - August 2022 from Andrea
« Last post by FigMamaJanet on March 17, 2023, 05:59:39 PM »Andrea,
My fig trees have been sleeping in my attached, unheated garage. I will attach pictures.
Bogddy Alfa Fig has leaves trying to open. She is my first fig tree to wake up this year. Some of my others have green buds and a few have a tiny fig that popped out.
Here's hoping that Bogddy Alfa Fig will do great this year
I want to thank you again for the contest that I won our tree on.
Hope you are doing well.

« Last post by opiem10 on March 16, 2023, 11:28:02 AM »What a great -and simple- method to test cold hardiness! Now, what variety do I test it on? Chicago Hardy? An unknown local fig? Some fancy variety? I can take some of the cuttings that I have started now and move them in larger pots for the next two years, then root a cutting from one of them to test along side them when I plant them in-ground in a couple of years.
Andrea, Chicago Hardy should be able to survive outside without protection. I would test on another variety considered cold hardy.

Fig Help / Re: Winter Damage
« Last post by LaFigGwr2019 on March 16, 2023, 10:54:45 AM »I left some pots out to see if they could take the cold that we got. I only did it cause I had a spare that I could afford to lose. I did lose them but lesson learned.

Thanks for the response. I wish you the best of luck with your new trees.

Great story. Being a while but I heard it before. Always great hearing stories of where trees come from. Thank you.

« Last post by LaFigGwr2019 on March 16, 2023, 10:27:20 AM »Arturo, If you are able to run a giveaway, I can plan to give you either a Red Lebanese Bekka Valley fig plant or Vasilika Black. The RLBV looks like it would do real well in your wet climate. Vasilika Black is another great berry fig, but I don’t know how it performs in real wet areas. It does do extremely well in areas with long growing seasons.John,
Agree with you but who would complain about receiving a free fig tree. I would definitely would not.
