Agree. The old reliables are my favorite. 😉

Hi Aaron.
That's a great looking setup, good luck with them all.
For your addiction I think it's hopeless 😉😉😉

Very beautiful. Gives a whole new meaning to the term "grow closet":)

Very nice setup. How do you deal with 300+ MORE mature fig trees? :)

I'm in the process of unpacking the pots from winter storage. I'm quickly running out of open ground to stage them in the garden so I'm going to have to clear out a section of brush and sticker bushes in order to make an additional staging area.

Staging you mean as showcasing?
I like to showcase my potted figs too even if just for my close family..

If you need to be talked down there's a group called Fruit Trees Anonymous: https://www.facebook.com/groups/589635491185478/

Disclaimer: I created it.

(Perhaps there needs to be a group called Fig Trees Anonymous?)

Nope no intervention here looks normal to me .. lol .. nice setup

That is a thing of beauty, well done :-)

These cuttings are all doing very well. As many of you know I find a lot of Hardy Unknowns around my place in Central NJ. I've sold quite a few on here and on EBay. I've just listed some EBay auctions but here is a link to a Craigslist post I just set up. If you were unsuccessful with any particular variety or if you still wanted to pick up a few, now's your chance.

You sir, are beyond intervention. I'm afraid there is no hope for you. lol

The intervention you need is a larger house with 25 acres and 3 large greenhouses.

Your setup looks great. Good to see they are doing well. Congrats.

The house my wife wants is on 20 acres. Just about $200k out of my budget. That's a lot of fig sales.

My husband isn't complaining about my figs yet but he keeps peeking out there and asking Are those things mulitiplying!?! I'm glad he has good recliener and big screen tv. Also, we ended up getting solar b/c we have too many lizards..so lord help me if I had MORE lights in my house. My husband does notice the electric bill. God forbid I touch the thermostat! lol I'm trying to keep on the down low on buying and hiding as much as possible for now. OH this little fig!?! I have had it for several months now..but I get excited and usually have to show someone my new addition. Why do they all think I'm nuts!! I have to show your pictures to make me look better!!

Wow!  You put me to shame with my setup! 2.jpg

What's with that cutting labeled "white" in the middle? It seems to be rooting like crazy!

That's a white marseilles. It's taking forever to leaf. The roots however, continue to grow like a champ. I moved it to a 1 gallon pot, and the root system is HUGE. The darn plant just won't leaf! Same thing with my Fico Preto.
