I know this has been discussed a lot, I did a search and found lots of other threads and I just don't have the time to spend hours reading them, so please....
My in ground LSU Purple started to leaf out about week or so ago. I would like to air layer the top 2 ft and a sucker that is about 4 ft long. When would be a good time? I would like to plant them in the ground when they are ready - maybe too ambitious? I will also give 1 or 2 as potted gifts.
2 days ago it went down to 21!!!!!!!! and had a little damage to the leaves. I checked the 10 day forecast and the lows will be in the low 40's. That brings us 2 days before the official last frost date so I am thinking frost won't be an issue since the 10th day of the forecast the low will be 57!
I am not worried about fig production on the top branch since I couldn't reach them anyway lol.
Also, there are some brabas forming, last year the breba was so-so, if I nip them off will I get main crop that much sooner and potentially more compared to leaving the breba on?
Thanks!
