First pictures of the trees

Finally gotten around to posting some pictures of my recent purchases.

I have taken cuttings from them and planted them in hopes to root them as well as finding a Jordan fig and a Negronne fig tree.

So far I have these cuttings planted

5 Brown Turkey
5 Desert King
3 Ice Crystal
3 Jordan
2 Negronne

I also have a friend and cousin who have fig trees so I will be grabbing cuttings from those at some point, and my friend does not like figs so he said I can have them all. The tree is like 30 feet tall and has a bunch of figs!




These are the cuttings

Very nice! Keep us updated

Nice selection..

Hi,
Nice trees.
Do you have the fig wasp around ?

I don't think I do, have never seen them and I don't think they live in Canada at all!

The desert king is a good producer of Brebas and thats why I have it. I'm not expecting any main crop because as I read it needs the wasp

Hi,
Icecrystal does need it as well :( sorry . I'm in the same boat, I have IceCrystal and last year she dropped most of the crop.
I'm waiting on the results of this year to seal the destiny of mine.

hmm, well at least I will still get brebas. I may look into buying a caprifig and self pollinate them, who knows!

But I looked around and apparently the Ice crystal is a common fig so I guess we will see
