I have a Sweet Gorge cutting that is growing figs (I think) instead of leaves. Both nodes that are above the potting mix have figs. It is well rooted, but I don't want it putting the energy into fruit this year. How/when should I remove them?

That one is easy, just twist if off. Sometimes I have them next to a leaf and wait a while so that I don't accidentally damage/break the leaf or leaf bud. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

I noticed a small embryo forming on my ucd beall cutting still in moss. No leaves or roots but it was trying to form a fig. I pinched it off. :( Had to. __________________ Henry, Brawley, California, 9B YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/thetwobrothersgarden/videos?view=0 Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/usr/two-brothers-2013

Thanks Harvey and Hank! They came off much easier than I though they would. Just had to get up the nerver to do it ;) The leaf buds next to each are starting to swell, now the cutting can put more energy into growth. __________________ Andy - Zone 6a Lat 39.9º N, Alt 5390' Westminster CO ⚘ Scion List
