Welcome to the forum.  You probably need to edit your pictures to make them smaller.  I usually pick 1000 pixels for the longest side, and that works.  I size mine in photoshop.

Seems like you have a nice beginning variety of figs!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your first trees! Suzi is right on the money with the pics. Go to your photo gallery and edit the pics. You might have to crop some of them if the file is too large! Best of luck with all!

Welcome to the Forum! BTW, what is your first name?  Looks like you have started out with some good Figs, already! If you have any questions, please ask them, there are a lot of Fig  Pros here...: )

Hi my name is joshua ahl and thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome, Joshua!

and here is pic with the three new plants, i planted them with the pots that i had laying around, are the green square pots bad for the plant?  should the pot be round for any reason?  its plenty deep.

Welcome to the forum Joshua. You have some nice trees there. If in containers, try to protect the roots from excessive heat during the summer, fertilize and water regularly and in no time you'll be getting some excellent fruit. 

Welcome, Joshua.  From another NYS fig grower.  Make sure your pots have decent drain holes  (i.e. your question about the square pots... shape doesn't matter, but drainage matters, and size matters too).  (Just in case there was any question about that).

i might just get newer bigger pots and just do it now, i figure it easier to move inside in smaller pots for winter.

Hi Joshua
Nothing wrong with square pots and drainage is very important. Looking at those nice plants in those pots all I can say is the pots are too small. 
Welcome aboard

Thanks coop I'll repot them now, what size pot should I go with?

welcome good luck

thanks baust, having a great time so far and learning lots.
