r/Figs

anybody know why my fig tree sometimes looks like a skinny leaf version? previous owners cut this tree down and it’s just growing back.

I'm not sure what variety this is, but it's in zone 7a. It was fertilized in spring and new buds were just pinched off. What else can be done? We are considering building a hoop house over this beast.

I’m received a cutting in a 3 gallon pot about 3 weeks ago. I currently have it placed in my yard (still in the pot) in an area that receives roughly 4 hours of sun a day. If needed I can move it to an area with more or less sun. I am located in growing zone 8a

I've attached some pictures. Should I plant it now?

None of the other humans at my place appreciate figs, but the pesky 🐿️ and 🐦 have been taking bites out of the best looking figs before I can claim them for myself! The nerve!

Most of the kadota has a ways to go yet, but these first ones at the base have been ginormous jammy juice bags this year. BM is much smaller tree and near the end of fruit. The last few days have been very hot, and making those lovely wrinkly figs that start drying on the tree. I think I ate 9 of them earlier, mmmm 🤤

Moved into this house in June, Providence RI (zone 7a). This fig has been here for a very long time, but neighbors said it never bore fruit from what they can recall. No idea what variety it is but clearly it survives winters here just fine. It grew HUGE in the last 90 days, dog for scale, it’s about 7 ft tall and at least 8ft wide. I tried cutting back low branches and had a bad reaction to the sap so I’m kind of wary of it now.

I’m not worried about fruit, but how do I get it under control without hurting it? I’ve read about wintering on this sub and will do so when it’s time but my concern is how to deal with its rapid growth now, it’s infested with lantern flies and it’s just so big! Totally out of my depth here. Thank you in advance!

I have a ‘Brown Turkey’ fig which is into its second year now, growing in a pot in the UK. Have a couple of figs now sprouting and growing. What branches should I prune, to where and when?! Any advice very helpful.

LSU Gold potted fig tree starting to produce sweet fruit! 🌿

I have a small Chicago hardy cutting I started this year, I recently up potted it as it had outgrown the old pot. My question is I live in Canada and it gets -20 to -30 C at times in winter and I have a somewhat insulated balcony, when and how should I store this fig for the best results of survival?

hi all! i was curious to know what variety of figs these are. i recently got into growing and eating figs but wasn’t sure of the varieties. i was told one thing but am not sure it is correct. any help would be awesome!

This popped up on the lower leaves recently. It doesn’t dust off but looks like sawdust. Anybody know what this is?

This is our first year with this tree and with harvesting fruit. I hadn’t even realized that a bunch of these guys had ripened because they were hidden and most are still green and unripened. I picked the ones shown here and separated them into ones that had mold and ones that looked OK but I think all of them are slightly over ripened.

Any advice on how to avoid mold growing on them? we are in zone 7B it’s been super humid and stormy the past few weeks.

how do the ones look that are in the clear Tupperware?

Thank you!

This is my first year trying to grow figs. I have 2 plants, both in pots. The larger one didn't set any fruit this season, the other I grew from a cutting sent to me from an online seller with decent ratings. It put out quite a number of fruits, but the first few that started feeling soft had developed these black / rotting spots on the bottom. The rest of the fig was soft, so I opened them up, and they all looked like this on the inside.

Is this Caprifig (and this useless to me, since it's for growing fruit, rather than being ornamental) or is this some kind of disease or mishandling with water / fertilizer? Any insights would be helpful!

This is my first fig tree bought from a local seller off fb marketplace. I didn't even know fig has those many varieties when I got it! We are in 9b bay area, ca. Based on my research, it looks like kadota/peter's honey fig? help me identify the variety and thank you!

The tree is still young 2 years old. I only got 4 fruits, and they much smaller compare to Dauphine. It will be ripen enough in a few more days.

I’m in zone 6a, given that we are in late August. I think the first frost will be about October/November. This is second year old tree in a pot and my first figlet (very excited) what are something that I can do to hopefully get this to ripe for the remainder of this year or do you think it’s too late and take a lost and get it ready for next year? Thanks

What should I do with this mess come winter? All this growth will die and new growth will begin from the roots next spring.
How do people turn their plants into trees that stay alive and keep growing? My plants have just started fruiting, so they’ll be no good come fall. I can’t figure out what to prune and what not to.
