Sooooo yeah

From Atlanta. Several of my neighbors have started growing fig trees. I have watched one tiny tree become enormous in just a few years and it's full of figs now. I think this one tree has inspired many.

This is my favorite gardening Chanel. I’m in northern Illinois and zone 5. I can grow everything you grow so your Chanel is super relevant to me.

Your videos are incredibly informative. Each one is a "how to" guide from start to finish. Gardening For Dummies... Precisely what a total newbie (such as myself) needs to be inspired, motivated and well informed. Because of you, I have pushed past my intimidation and prepared my pots for mini peppers, chilli's and cherry tomatoes. I even have grand ideas for building raised beds (next year) and growing blueberries... Although, I have yet to learn about varieties. Thank you for all the quality content you push out. I'm so glad I found you!

Thanks for the video. My grandfather grew many, many fig trees n NY when I was growing up. He always wrapped them in cardboard (or whatever was at hand) and filled the centers with dead leaves to overwinter. We had figs, figs and more figs growing up and took them for granted and did not appreciate them. Now I miss them terribly. I am in zone 3-4 and would like to find a variety to try. But I will wrap and insulate them like he did. Our yard was filled with enormous fig trees.

You are the best! First time fig tree grower and I didn’t know anything. Glad they can be pruned as I’m planting in smaller protected area. Thanks so much great video!

I purchased a Chicago Hardy Dog this spring as a novelty for my zone 4 Montana garden. It's done well in its pot. So well that it's actually producing figs for me. It'll be spending winter inside, so maybe those tiny figs will actually develope for me!!

I hope you're feeding, watering, and providing plenty of blankets for your poor dog.

My Grandfather planted his fig tree next to the fireplace so the wall stays warm thru the winter. He lived in Alabama and always had figs twice a year.

Thanks for the information Luke! I’m in zone 9b and got a great deal on a fig tree yesterday. I’m going to try to grow it in filtered sun since the afternoon sun here can be harsh in the summer.

I liked your video a lot. In 12 minutes you explained a lot of great information, very thorough.

Wonderful! Thank you! I never knew I can grow fig in zone 5, where I live! I always loved to have a fig tree.

Brown Turkey and Chicago Hardy are two easily found ones that will grow well in zone 5-6... most go with the Chicago Hardy and they are slightly more hardy and most prefer the taste over Brown Turkey.

Bought a fig tree from Whole Foods last year and it came with no details. Thanks for posting this video!

Oh my God you seriously grow everything!! ....anything I ever look up you have a video on already!🤗

awesome!! I just got a mature rig tree last week this is going to help me so much thank you!

We have been going daily for 3 weeks now and LOVE it. Glad you do too!

We moved into our new home last September and found out we have a fig tree/bush on the side of the house. We live in West Texas it has been there for years because it is HUGE. At least 20+ feet across maybe 7ft high. It sits in full sun only gets shade when the sun goes down, it actually creates its own shade my dogs relax next to it when they're outside.

That's awesome! Every time we plant trees, we wind up moving just as they're getting big. So this year I was like, "I ain't planting another tree for someone else!" ;'D and I bought a bunch and put them in containers. Obviously those can only get so big, but at least I can take them with me! Anyway, I had no idea that figs spread like that horizontally. I'm glad you shared that! How many figs you think you get off that bad boy? Probably more than you can eat, right?

I grew up in So California and have the same memories! I am going to try to grow them here in E.astern WA with some clippings I brought with me from the Midwest. I brought mine indoors in Midwest.

From south Florida. I used Lime on my fig it really took off. 🌱🌿nice deep green leaves. And the dropping of the leaves were timing. Just right with the new growth. I like watching your videos very good info for those who are starting new in this adventure.

From South India We are consumers of dried fig. Costs 1000-2500 rupees per kilo (15-35 dollars per kilo) Please produce more and bring down the cost😅

The growing guide I've been waiting for! Thank you! Whenever you do prune your fig tree, I would love to see a video. I have 2 fig trees I'm afraid to prune , I feel like I'm going to ruin them. So a video on pruning fig trees would be appreciated. Thanks!

Maria B Prune them anytime you want. Heavy in the dormant stage. Light in the growing season.Just remember MOST figs fruit on last years growth. So don't take to much off.

Thank you Luke, you just saved me from making a mistake fertilizing my fig too much in the beginning! I just ordered the 'Chicago Hardy' fig before I found your video & will be planting it per your instructions!

Awesome video! So informative and helpful, especially for other MI hopeful gardeners like myself. Thanks for the wonderful information.

Awesome. I had no idea we could grow figs in my climate. I'm excited!!

Zone 5-6 you could definitely consider Texas Ever-bearing, Peter's Honey, and my personal favorite Violette de Bordeaux! Much better tasting than the typical California Black Mission figs. Just moved to Michigan from California and happy to see an MI gardener providing tips and blazing a trail for how to garden in Michigan's cooler climates!

This is great for me, living in Southern Ontario Canada (zone 5a)

Thanks for the great fig guide. I'm getting a few rooted stock here in zone 9B? Orlando, Florida. Your post will help me to make some wiser choices in planting them.

Wonderful, I'm planting my own fig trees.

Excellent I had already purchased our Fig tree this year and we were going to plant it soon!

Thanks , for this video very helpful

Thanks for all you do!

Absolutely love this, VERY helpful. Thank you!

As always, a great informative video!

My most established fig tree didn't have any die off this winter and it put out a ton of brevis. Only two or three are growing big though. We may have gotten too much rain for them. Thanks Luke I was just revisiting this video

Good timing! I am about to plant 3 figs in Vt at about 1000 ft. Probably in 2 weeks. I have 50 acres in the woods. Also watched you prune your pears!

Howdy! Could you give an update on your trees?

This was great. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the walk-through! I just got a couple of fig tree cuttings from a friend. I've wanted figs for a long time, now I finally have some! Keep up the great videos! Yes, a truly healthy plant will have 50 - 80 percent of it's mass in the root zone.

i live in zone 8..and i just pruned my fig tree..alot.Was it the wisest thing to do ? i usually just cut it back a little but today i really cut into it.

Figs grow amazing here in Maryland ,Seams like a lot of people that live by the water like them. This one old lady had one that was pushing 30 feet wide and 20 feet tall. It was awesome. and she said she made fig tea from the leafs,The sap kind of tastes like coconut. The figs on her tree were not ready but tried another one on a newly planted tree were mildly sweet and pretty delightful

Really watchable from the UK zone 7 -8. Thanks

Hello... You can grow fig even in zone 5 or 6 that depends on that variety. Cold hardy Persian will survive in freezing winter. In my area it goes around 5 F but I have a few huge fig trees. They don't need any care. Happy gardening

Super helpful. Thank you!!

Your video is very informative. Thank you!!

I like how he gets straight to the point 1 second after the vid started ❤️❤️

enjoyed your video your information was very interesting I will have to keep all of it in mind

This was great! Learned a lot.

thanks for that Luke. I'm getting ready to transplant a fig that I had in a container this winter. it did great but most of the figs I had planted outside died off down to the ground this year. I got my starts from people that had them growing here locally so I don't know what brand I have. Some of them are from a person who brought them directly from Palestine or Israel I forget which. the trees they came from where huge! thanks again!

This is what I do in zone 6b. The figs are in 5 gal fabric pots. I cut slits around the sides of of the pot. “ see Lou Monti method “ dig a hole and drop the pot in and fill around the edges with soil. I double up heavy black landscaping material and place around the plant. Then I cover that with a 2 foot square of bricks. The heat from the sun heats up the bricks and landscape material keeping them warmer. Heat is what your looking for to get that fig tree growing. At the end of the season, I dig around the pot with a machete, cut the roots that formed outside the pot and pull up the pot and store it for winter. Use will get a larger more productive tree then in pots alone and you won’t need to fertile as much or water.

Your videos are so helpful

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Tqvm for your sharing about Fig tree 🌳 😊

Thank you for nice video!

great video and information !

Thanks for the info...

So I live right next to Luke, I planted 5 different fig varieties in ground last year and all 5 survived for me! Just protected them with a simple layer of leaves in the fall which I just removed to see theyre all alive

So much good info

Thank you. I have lots of new figs, planted last year. I guess I need to water them more.

Any ideas on how to winterize them? Ours grow pretty well during the warmer months, but usually die back to the ground . Because of this the fruit ripening before it starts getting cold again is a bit challenging.

Growing a turkey fig tree in Arizona. They grow quite well here.

Luke I dug up a branch off of an old tree it had some green just popping out when I dug the green died but my roots are good the stalk is green but nothing is coming out yet been in the dirt almost 2 mths what advice can ya help me with

TY so much!!!

I've only ever had dried figs, I would love to try a fresh one!

Nice info thanks

just in time, my two "figlings" greener up well indoors over winter and soon need to go out side - was told to plant them out after any frost danger. Now we had 80s already, but this week looks just 60s, so I will wait a little, may be just set the pots against the house. Need to find the right place for them anyway 😊

My grandparents had a fig tree in their backyard. Whenever the figs were ripe and ready to be picked I would always help with that. My grandmother would wash them to get rid of dirt and sap and she would eat them right then and there.

Thanks for the video! The simplicity is helpful for beginners like me. I bought my first potted fig tree about three months ago and have yet to see any figs on it. I'm not sure if this is a contributing factor, but ants seem to LOVE my tree, despite it having no fruit. Do you think the ants are keeping it from growing fruit and do you have any tips on how to keep a fig tree ant-free?

thank you .

I love ripe figs fresh off the tree! Truly a tasty treat! Then, you may use a Solar food dryer to save part of the crop for winter!

Thanks a lot. Susie

Hey 👋 thank you for the video! How are your figs holding up? I’m about to plant another Fig in zone 7b. I think I’ll go with the Chicago variety this time per your recommendation. Thank you for always putting useful information on your channel. I do have a question, once established do you use fruit tree fertilizer or a 10-10-10? Also, I heard that figs (the fruit) only grow on newly grown stems so you need to trim them, how accurate is that?

MIgardener I just found your channel ! very very helpful thanks for all you do. I planted a fig tree two weeks ago and and the leafs are getting yellow what could be problem?

Thank you!

Question: we have a very mature fig ( green with pink inside) it is very tall and huge trunk. We trim it down to single story house height every year. Can we trim it even further without killing it? It grows exponentially every year. The thing is out of control. This year, very little fruit is ripening. I think because there is so much foliage. We are in NW Oregon . Thanks for any help!

I just acquired a fig tree last year - the poor thing only had about 7 leaves on it. I went into a site to figure (pardon that play on words there?) lol how to best protect it from the winter. I guess I did alright because this year alone I counted 27 new sprouting buds which are now leaves and stems and I'm so excited about it! I name my plants - and since I love and have cats, I named it Figaro, which was the little black and white kitty in Pinocchio. Well Figaro is doing so well and now I've learned even more about Figaro from your splendid video! I'm very much looking forward to watching and learning more! Thank you!! PS. I checked out our zone and it said 6b, so I guess we're good!

sharing this.... Thank you. for the info.. Fort Lauderdale backyard garden..

zone5a here and windy. Had my fig plant in a large container next to my garage door. Wondering if your fig tree that planted in the video still doing well.

Hi Luke love your videos. How’s your fig tree doing?? Give us an update. Also you didn’t mention how often we should be giving nitrogen and same with prosperous!!

Hello Luke, I am growing an avocado tree it is a 2 Month old avocado. Do I need to fertilize it with your Trifecta+ or wait for a couple moths?

Hi Luke. Wonderful resource. I’m a first time fig planter and have two types, the Chicago Hardy which is just starting and planted and an Italian Honey that’s still in an 8” pot. I’m in CT/zone 7. When should I upsize the pot or can I plant the more delicate “Italian” in the ground. We’ve got good soil and good mix of sun. Thanks!

thanks for the fig growing guide. I'm in zone 3 so I have to grow my bush type figs in containers and bring them in after a good frost. they are waiting to go outside soon with lots of gorgeous leaves right now. can I use compost or vermicompost to ammend the soil ? will you show a pruning video in the fall along with how to propogate the cuttings? I've seen lots of videos on KZread but there always seems to be info missing. your videos are so thorough. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the great video. What should I do after fertilizing a bit too early maybe after 1 month after planting in a big pot.

i experimented with my soil like miracle grow and so fourth i found that miracle grow and cow manure worked the best for mine and now mine is 15 ft tall and 17 ft wide👍🏽

Hi there! I have a problem with my fig in that it has stunted and is growing outward, but not upward. Any suggestions?

Just purchased a Chicago fig. And after listening to you wondered if you have any thoughts on zone 5b care of the tree ? Do i need to bring it in for the winter? Garage or house? And i am planting in a large container. Thank you.

Great video! I have a fig tree from a stem we brought from my in-laws house in Italy...in Italy they produce tennis ball size figs...here not so much while the tree grows really large the figs only bud and that’s it...we live in zone 6a so rich soil, fertilizer every three months and plenty of water?? any other tips for my zone or to help produce bigger figs? Thank you for sharing! 🌱

Placed a fig tree in my yard 2 years ago, this year I have some fruit and the plant is only about 2 ft tall. I think it took a year to acclimate to the southEast Wisc. Climate. Really looking to 2024s growth for huge growth. Thank you for this video.

Did you say which side of the shed it was on? I understood about varying amounts of light conditions, but I'm wondering if the southern side would be better for cases of winter survival

I saw you videos after I bought and planted my shrubs (Choke berry & June berry) I put fertilizer around and under them. Is there something I can do to encourage the roots to grow and spread?

Did you prune it ?

How come u said prune them, so they will branch out widely. How can that be if you are planting to plant plants around it? are you planning to go vertical?

How close is too close to plant a fig tree to the house? I've read that their root system can be disruptive and they should be planted too close to the house. Thanks!

Thank you. ALWAYS THE BEST LUKE!

I'm in Michigan I have three fig trees Chicago hardy Celeste and Violette de Bordeaux and I have an Olympia on the way .they're all in pots . So that I can overwinter them and bring them inside the garage I'm trying to manipulate my plants to think were Zone 7 or Zone 8 wish me luck.

I am wondering if I don’t prune my fig tree (allow new branches)., will I get a lot less fruit because the energy will be going into making the branches instead of fruit? Thank you!

Fig cuttings root very easy, FYI. My fig is now setting fruit zone 9. Trifecta is used here also. Dianne Gleaton

i have a chicago hardy fig and have had it for 2 years and no fruit I bought and the place said that one would work, i will try to propagate another tree. But how long does it take to fruit and is there something I can do to help it out.
