My introduction

Hello everybody,
I live in coastal North Carolina ,few minutes drive I can be in the historic city of New Bern.
I enjoy growing fig trees,when you have taken care of the tree.The weather has been just right,the tree will Reward you with some mighty tasty figs to eat.

I have two in ground fig trees and seven individual trees in quart containers.

I still have to master the art of rooting cuttings.I have five cuttings in 50/50 perlite and potting soil.
I am going to try sphagnum moss on the next cuttings I root.When the cuttings root,transfer them
To cups with coarse perlite as the growing medium.

Thank you for listening,

Jimmy

Welcome to the forum, Jimmy.  Sounds like you're on the right track.  Keep us updated this year!

Welcome Jim.
I tried rooting with moss with no success,
Now I use 70% pearlite 30% promix with better success.

Wow I was ther when I was a kid. We used to camp on Cape Hatteras

Back then you could fill up a 5 gallon bucket with big blue crabs in a couple hours walking knee deep on the sound side.

Welcome Jimmy.  

Welcome!  I hope your figs do well!

Welcome.  Sounds like you are off to a good start.  I'm NC too but close to Charlotte area.

Welcome.

I have been up and down most of the outer banks and much of the southern beaches as well but I need to go to Ocracoke. Have you been to Bald Head Island? That is a nice little spot only accessible by ferry too.

Welcome Jimmy, sounds like you are off to a good start!

Thank you for the welcomes.

Brian never made it to Bald Head Island.
