Fig tree from a cutting
Fig tree from a cutting
My fig tree is putting out figs! I grew this tree from a cutting that a neighbor let me take from her tree. Here's what the figs look like when ripe:
Holy crap thats big. Also, did you root it first or just stick it into the ground?
Rooted it first, but that just required putting it in a pot and keeping it well watered.
Right on! I've got two in the ground but I am not super happy with their placement. I've been considering moving them, but they are doing 'ok'. The spot I put them in is a bit shady, so they've been growing slowly. I think from what I've seen here, I'm gonna grab a few cutting and put them in sunnier places.
I have a mature fig tree in my backyard. So excited for it to fruit this year.
What kind?
Hm, not sure, but I’m curious now. Will do some investigating.
This one was about that size when I planted it.
Gorgeous!
Wow!
Does it need wasp to fruit?
Not to fruit, but it does need wasps to pollinate. So will need to be careful. They seem to really love this type of fig.
It's so small! I wouldn't have expected it to fruit that quick. How many years had it been since you took/rooted the cutting?
