How many?

I get the impression many of you love fig trees.

How many varieties do you have?
How many fig trees do you have total?
How many in containers vs ground?

I'm just curious. Personally I have 1 in ground but many in pots. Everyone is young so it'll be interesting to see how my lay out changes as they get bigger.

Last time I checked, I had 14 varieties. All in containers. About 30 plants in total.

I have 4 varieties all in containers, and one on the way (also going to be in a container).

This sounds like the beginnings of Figaholics Anonymous/True Confessions...65 varieties, 12 in the ground and the rest in 15 gal or 5 gal pots

No comment.  Once we get the acreage, all 20 go in ground.  Pots gone!

17 different varieties
  8 planted in ground
29+ in containers for now.......

25 varieties   1 in the ground.  24 in containers.  

A bunch.

What he said ^.

a lot in ground, and a lot in pots.

Only because I must have the greatest restraints or my wanton ways will get the best of me, I now have, all, growing in containers, only four varieties...but soon, to add a fifth to the collection.

They are:

"Golden Atreano"- Belleclare
"Red Italian"...local, ethnic unknown variety from Mount Vernon, NY
"Black Marseilles" VS
"Kathleen's Black"

Know this...If I had a larger growing area, I would have a very large number of varieties, just like most of the forum members.  Honestly, fig trees are really the only fruit tree that I would bother growing.  More bang for the buck.

I'm too enbarressed to even say! LOL

Nichole types

I get the impression many of you love fig trees.  -Yes i do

How many varieties do you have? - Just some dark types and a few chimera's

How many fig trees do you have total? - hmm i ran out of fingers and toes darn it. New i should have stood in school.

How many in containers vs ground?
- 1 in each container , think i still have 1 inground unless Rafed came with his hook.

Oh only 3 in ground, the rest are in pots

I honestly don't know. A goldilocks amount...More than some, many fewer than others..... but just right for me. :)

Most will go in the ground and be kept trimmed as bushes. Some will be in large terra cotta pots as edible ornamentals.

That is a lot of figs. Kinda jealous.

only 2 varities -- Vern's brown turkey and Desert King

However i have 3 plants in total with all in pots.  I would get more but i live in Vancouver BC and this isnt the greatest climate for figs.  I'll probably buy a negronne if i locate one.

Doesn't look a lot on the map but I have a bunch.

7 in ground 26 in pot are going in ground next year. 33 varieties 60-70 all together.

About 73 varieties and this is after giving away most of the light colored variants last year. Many more will be given away to friends and relatives latter this year. Few planted in ground and the rest are kept in containers (3-35 gallons).

After putting the effort in obtaining that grand of a collection why are you giving them away?  It must be difficult to let them go

Smart man !
