Just want to give an update, I want to thank my fellow members for the cuttings I received. The bad news is that I lost most of them (Gnats, wrong potting mix, etc). I recently have been getting higher percentage of my cuttings to become Figlets, Yeah, Something I am doing is right...LOL......My Question is about Airlayering: as you can see from the picture (Raspberry Latte, LSU Gold, Vista).....I was wondering if I should wait until later in the year to do airlayers. want the biggest tree and a lot of fruit.
Also maybe do at least one in case one accidently dies..???  Your Opinion is important to me, Thanks in Advance.

I would say decide how you want those trees in the pots shaped.  Determine what needs to be pruned off to achieve that shape.  That's what you'll air layer.

If it were me.. I'd air layer the lowest limb on the center and back pot (can't see enough of the front pot to decide).  I might even do a couple of the thinner limbs on the back pot too.. it's looking kind of "busy" there.  That will leave a nice symmetry and height to the trees.    After the tips of of that center tree grows a little taller.. say at least 5' from where they branch off the trunk, then air layer the tip (6" to 18" of it).  Once you cut the tip off, those branches will put out their own branches.

after re-reading the question.. that wasn't really what you asked... lol

I'd personally wait until the lows are absolutely no lower than 55F. with highs at least in the mid 70's.  Shouldn't be too long of a wait though..

Looking at it maybe it was poorly worded. 1. Want a lot of fruit, so maybe wait.  2. Getting the biggest airlayer (tree), wait until later part of the year. Just thinking it will grow faster if I leave it on the Mother tree.

I'm not an expert, but I don't think when you do the air layer would affect ether 1 or 2.

Whatever's above the air layer will still be fed just as much from the mother roots + some from the air layer once those roots start growing.  So it shouldn't harm fruit production above the air layer.   I would do it as soon as it's warm enough, and make the air layer bundle big enough to hold lots of roots, protected from light, and leave it on for 2, 3, 4 months.  Just treat keep it moist so the roots are happy and growing.  After a few months they should be bigger and loaded with as much fruit as you would have anyway.

Experts, chime in please...  I'm interested if my own reasoning is sound..

Armando, we know fruits come on year old growth..so, you must make the tree sprout new growth to have fruit on the following year (that is for Brebas) however, almost all fig tree that produces brebas also produce main crop. I get lots of fruits from my big tree, because i finally learned.

If I were you, I would use a string and  tie the branches down a little, and in a week, pull them down a bit more until the tip is not pointing up... once that happens, growth slows down and you will see lots of side branches (yes, this is growth that will produce figs next year) then you decide in the summer to maybe pinch these, so you have more side branches growth of this year for the fruiting next year.

I would not be taking cuttings nor airlayering them, meaning in any of your beautiful trees. Hope that helps, you must be patient... supposedely the first 3 years is forming the tree, actually a good harvest comes after year 4 or 5... please be patient.  

Hi Armando,
You can't have the butter and the money for the butter, they say here.
Because you're in Cali, you have a longer season than mine. So perhaps it can work for you, and I would airlayer in July .

For my short season:
For unifera trees, because they fruit on the growth of the year, you would have to remove the crop from the airlayer - or remove the airlayer after you harvest the figs. That would be late in the season.
The most effective for bifera trees is to go brebas + airlayer started in July - you'll loose most of the maincrop because the trees of the photos are still small .
Or if you have a branch with no brebas, airlayer it in June ... The choice is yours ...

I would attempt something : Feed the trees a bit more - most of the times that will lead the tree into making root suckers.
Some strains are a pain at getting root suckers - that' the case for longue d'aout.
I have it for 3 or 4 years and still no root sprout - I bought Dalmatie at the same time and she already produced some 10 or 15 root sprouts .

My experience is that air-layering affects the size of the fruit on that branch. On the other hand, it's no big deal and a small sacrifice to get more fruit next season. Just do it!

Thanks for all the input, will decide tomorrow, thinking about airlayering the lower branches and extra ones, to shape it.
