Do some of you guys sell figs for a living?  Those are massive amounts of trees, very impressed










Not I. At least not yet ;-)

Well, we have to support our vices somehow!

About 14 - 17 varieties, all in pots, My favorite that I've had for about a month is starting to take off (3 new leaves sprouting ,,,,,finally!!). There's no mistaking what the leaf looks like so I'll let you all try to guess, I promise to tell you if you're getting hot or Cold. lol
I'll post a picture tomorrow.

I agree Dominick... or at least that a gentleman never tells his number.  :-)

Dominick- don't be shy, I know you that you have at least 300+ variants.

Martin- You're a bad influence :)

indo- No to both of your questions.

Navid.

Definitely more than one [hundred]...

At least 75 here at the house, and roughly 120 planted within an hour of Atlanta.  I've done a LOT of rogue planting in the last 3 years.

Ummm 

I have about 10 varieties and 8 unknowns. All "unknowns" are in ground, all my known varieties are also in ground. I have three on the way...soon!!!

Looking for more unknowns!!!

Haha Navid

Not that many, though if I had the room...

I have 38 potted up to healthy 1 gallon size.
I have 200 in various stages of rooting in water,moss, air layers,soil
All in pots
All came from 21 different parent trees located in Marshall Tx, and 1 from Gainesville Fla, my first tree

4 different currently ID'D

I look for legacy trees and pass on rooted trees to children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the original tree owners, of course keeping some for myself.

Have not sold any

27 total, 19 in ground.

70 Varieties
25 in ground  rough count
130 potted, 2-15 gal rough count.
Some rogue plantings, like Jason

how do you guys manage all those plants? it's pain just to watch over 30 plants.

Oh jeeze, you had to make me count and confront my addiction, dam you...I have at least 104 varieties and close to 200 trees...only 2 (Panachee and Paradiso) in ground but planning to put around 50 varieties in the orchard next year.

Sue

Currently around 35 varieties, around 45 total trees.  (I can't actually go count right now, so I'm not as beset with angst as Sue seems).  Only 4 in ground, but hoping to try some additional cold hardy ones in ground when they get a little older.

(And I guess I just broke Dominick's Rule, as I shall henceforth refer to it... although I don't think I've broken my corollary to it  :-)

Mike,

The do you protect the ones you have in ground? Zone 5 in-ground is pretty impressive.

Yes, winter protection.  I've been burying them each fall, and exhuming them in the spring (after typical threat of killing frost is past).  I'm experimenting with other kinds of protection for in ground trees... haven't yet found a good alternative.  (But hoping to find a less labor-intensive way).  Some people with an appropriate setup here get them to survive by covering with insulation and quilts/blankets/rags, but that seems to only work if they have a good southern exposure wall, with a wind block on the west.  Potted trees are more common in this climate.

(and I see you're looking for cold hardy trees... I got a Marseilles Black VS that I'll try in ground when it gets older and bigger, and hoping to try Tenica next year for eventual in ground attempt).

Ive been thinking about my winter protection. I think Im going to put tomato stakes in the ground and get some insualted foam board and build a box.  Will staple it to the tomato stakes. I cant imagine that wouldn't protect them from the wind and big temp fluctuations.
