Martin you are a very lucky man to get this variety to root for you.Wow what a beautiful looking healthy plant.How old is your plant?Thanks

Rob it came to me as a small airlayer via a member that got it from oversea's person who purchased parent from baud nursery.
It about 1 season old.

Martin,

Looks like you're winning the race. Mine are not as big as yours and I remember getting mine around same time as you.

Thanks for sharing.

Rafed you know why right ?

You're giving them that tiny blue pill?

Martin, your trees all have a nice full look. Please do share with us what it is you are doing. If you've told us before, please indulge again.

Rafed i was just pulling your leg now that it's not as sore as when you had infection.
Blb - im just their care taker.

Oh ok I guess it is your secret. Oh well the rest of us fig duffers will just have to make do trying to encouragee our figs to grow like Martins.

Here is the coll airlayer now about 11 days old i with a few roots starting.

beautiful plants, martin. i like that little curl around the edges.

Beautiful trees Martin. Does anyone else think his fig trees "see" what happens to non producing trees in Martin's yard? They are scared not to produce.

Cut off the Col De Dame Noir airlayer today .

That looks great. I see you don't use a long fibered sphagnum, but what looks like a soil mix. How is it doing now that it is detatched? I've been experiencing lots of wilt with my airlayers when I remove them. I know that is usually an indicator of not enough roots, but I am seeing lots of roots when I remove them. Pretty much what I have been doing in the past, but don't recall as much wilting.

Nice air layer, but how disappointing that all the previous photos have been removed. 
 

Barry its doing well so far , just out in yard again and gave it a quick look.
Usually i don't cut airlayer at 11:30 am but temps are 72 at 1:30pm and should go no higher than 75 so it should be ok. Tonight in the 50s.

No i don't use sp just my own mix i make up , anything damp against a branch with patience and it will produce roots and reason why i dont scrape the branch but whatever works for one i say keep at it.  ; )

Gina no problem i show again but i take them down again soon.  ; )

Picture 1 - date 6.18.12- put into a new big pot that evening

Picture 4 - date 8.2.12

Airlayer difficult to see but if look hard its there on bottom in bottle next to main trunk and in front of stick right near the green stretch tape in last picture.

Thanks Martin. I too love looking at pictures. :) 

Right now I'm very interested in everything about air layers. I was just outside looking at what figs I have that are large enough to set something up. Cuttings on the hoof, so to speak.

So are you saying air temps should be cooler when you cut them off? That would explain my wilting as each time I've cut any off this year it has been hot, over 90.

Barry
only what i do nothing more.  ; )

Same thing is good to do when transplanting a growing plant into "the field". Other things to avoid are wind and bright sun, if it is going to rain then that is perfect. It actually makes a huge difference with a really tender plant like lettuce which loses leaves from wilting fast.

What do you think about cutting the air-layer off in the evening when the sun goes down?
