Hi. Not sure where introductions are supposed to be.

My name is Nina. I am a cosmetic surgeon by profession.
I have always loved gardening. I have a row of dragonfruit plants, some hot chillies, and other veggies, but a newbie at fig growing. I never knew they can grow here in tropical Manila.
I was researching about figs when I ran across this forum.
I just bought fig cuttings a few months ago and have a some of them potted already.
I hope to learn a lot from the group, gain new friends, and hopefully expand my fig varieties.

I am very glad to be here. :-)

Welcome to the forum Nina, hope you learn a lot here. There is a lot of information here. Where are you getting cuttings from...???

Welcome, Nina!  I am also a newbie to the group & I think we'll find many of the same problems; I am in Hawaii outside of Hilo so we both have a hot, humid, rainy climate to contend with.  This doesn't agree with all figs but I am sure that you will find some good advice, I suspect especially from growers in the SE US.

Hi nina. Richie from louisiana. If you start looking at pictures of figs. The are,very beautiful. I like the way martinenca rimada looks The fig it self is colorful. Glad to have another friend to the forum

Welcome Nina!  I bet you will be great at grafting figs once you establish a few!  Looking forward to seeing photos of your figs.

We live in Southern California, and moved two years ago from one home to another.  A few tags got lost, so I'll be posting photos when figs get ripe for members to identify.  These are all "known" figs I grew from cuttings.  Just lost the tags.  I do have one unknown that was growing wild in a field, and I rooted some cuttings from that.  There are baby figlets on it now, and I hope members here can Identify the fig for me.

There are a lot of helpful members here.

Mabuhay, Nina! Which varieties are you starting out with?
I haven't seen any fig trees growing in Manila. You may want
to consider growing them in pots and bringing them indoors
during the monsoon season.

Welcome to the forum Nina.

Welcome Nina, isn't it great how we practically cover the world. What a forum.

Welcome!  I am a newby also and you will find the people here very helpful and kind.  It is fun to log in each day and get the updates.  Good luck with your figs.  Keep us posted.

Welcome Nina!  You came to the right place!  These guys here will help you get started!  I visited your country back in 1985.  Boy it gets super hot there!  But I love the food and would love to visit again some day!  Next year this time, you will probably have 50 fig trees!!!!!  HA!  Figs are addicting!

Welcome to the forum Nina, this is the right place for new fig enthusiasts.

Welcome!  I don't know what's legal and what's not for you but if permitted this guy would be a great source of cuttings.
