I've seen people come and go from this forum. Sometimes they return after a long absence with some explanation of how their lives have been turned upside down and they have been unable to spend time with their figs or this forum. I have not posted on this forum in over a year, yet I offer no such explanation. All I can say is that it is possible to keep 60 or so fig trees alive, completely unattended for over a year in containers with an automated drip system. They are not in great shape, but they are alive. I gave them all a dose of MG and a handful of worm castings and I'm hoping for a good season.

Meanwhile, one of my in-ground trees needed some pruning. It is an Anna's Unknown. I do not know whether or not this fig requires caprification since it is an unknown variety and I do have the fig wasp in my area. I don't think I've seen signs of FMV on this tree, but I might have on some of my other trees. So, anybody interested? No charge for the cuttings; Just the shipping cost (I think $7 within US). I cannot keep track of responses here, in private messages, and in emails. So, if you are interested, please respond by email. Be sure to include you name and shipping address. If you have any other questions about Anna's Unknown or the cuttings, please post questions here.

The figs in Fallbrook are really popping. I gave one to my father-in-law who lives off Mission Road and it's already putting out figlets. We have been blessed with nice warm weather here in So. Cal.  I am building my first green house out here in Banning, CA out of scavenged sliding glass doors, new redwood lumber and an assortment of what-nots. I will post pics when I'm finished. I'm with you- I'm going all drip this year using aquaponic system from my fish pond. Hope that gives it enough fertilizer. Good luck and Happy figging! 

Wow Noel I'd love to see your project even as you go along. Dreaming of something similar here in AZ. Happy leaping high day!!!

Good luck with your fig trees cyberfarmer and neol yoyr going to benefit greatly from all the micro & macro nutrients in the pond water. You will do well once it set up

Welcome back!  And bearing gifts.  I hope things only get better from here on out.

And folks, remember to pay using friends or family and throw a little extra his way.  If he charges $7 for a small, flat rate box he's losing money on every package due to pp fees.

Hi cyberfarmer,
Welcome back. Hope you're doing better and you find some time to take care of your dripped orchard :) !

Good to see you posting again. Welcome back.

Welcome back!  Fallbrook is fruit growing paradise! 

I also was MIA for while, I don't post very much but I still pop in from time to time.

Haha this is my first visit from a long time too!

Cuttings went out today. I didn't get many takers, so you each got quite a few. I hope you enjoy my mother's tree as much as I have.

Welcome back!  I just came back my self about a week or 2 ago.
