I missed that somehow. Thank you.

I like Potato Chips......Thanks for posting...

You're welcomed Armando. It was nice to see someone take their time and discuss at length one of my favorite things.

PotatoChips  an amazing video some years back on television if your curious about the fig wasp and how it does what it does.
Now on you tube .

Was posted on forum good while back it has stunning close up views in the video least in my humble opinion.

The Queen of Trees

I watched both and they were very educational and very different. I look forward to trying out the root pruning techniques, and some of the over-wintering ideas sound much easier than doing the fig shuffle.

The Queen of Trees was amazing. The photography was incredible. I'm not sure I will eat a fertilized fig after seeing the video though:)

Thanks for Posting Potatochips, that guy did a great presentation, decided to pot up a small tree after, it inspired me LOL.

He grows his figs as it works for him, but I think it is silly for him to describe how the Japanese do their step overs, as it has been described in many scholarly papers... as I understood, and am trying with a few of mine,  they are not trimmed short, but rather grow to be a 6 feet whip, and slowly leaning it down (during a 10 days period) to form the main trunk.  By taking the apical growth from the tree, it develops lots of side branches, that want to replace the main one,  when this is done 2-3 years, the stronger, well spaced are cut into spurs, which we see  the pictures.

 There is a nice video of Ken Love describing that espalier method in Hawaii. (search for Ken Love, fig, loquat, Hawaii should bring up that video)
