Dominick the first two died about 3 weeks after transplant the other two died about a week later. All four had such a nice rootball already and atleast 10 leaves and I checked soil moisture with the moisture meter and made sure it was moist but a bit on the dry side but still was not good enough.

Well according to your schedule of events, I still have a ways to go before I can feel good about any type of success. Only in 1 gallon for a week out of bins.

I would like to have great success so as to spread this one around.

Dominick wish you the best of luck with you plants, just keep a close eye on them it was litteraly over night they wilted. But then again I have been having issue with extremely high humidity during the day and very little at night lost lots of cuttings this season more than any other season thus far. Atleast 50 so far.

My rooted cuttings are now outside in a closed cold frame, and are doing great so far, they have grown nicely and enjoying the warm weather. I haven't potted them up, i Think I will wait with it.

Nelson,

I will give you back one of mine.

Quick Question:

I just found about 3 greenish white bugs on the leaves of ONLY my Patlican fig. I found a couple of  black dots ( maybe eggs) over the course of the last few weeks on JUST my Turkish fig cuttings.

Doesn't seem to be affecting the cutting or leaves yet. The humidity in the bin is around 90%. I don't see them on the cuttings outside the bins already in 1 gal pots.

They are about the size of this- " - yes about the size of that quotation mark. They have multiple legs. When I touch them and press I think I kill them. But like Lazarus, it rises and walks, in this case, crawls away.

Just curious of experiences and/or what it is, in case it could affect the cuttings.

NOTE- Not on any other cutting except Turkish.  Maybe traveled from the Middle East as a Hitchhiker.

Here are one of my cuttings, I transplanted it in April and it has grown nice, sadly a ''heat accident'' happen to my cuttings, it got to hot (113F,45C) one day in my cold frame so some of the roots fried and the leafs fell off, this happen when i still had them in the plastic bottle, after that I transplanted them in new containers and they recovered with new roots and new leafs. Now they have grown slow because it has been chilly weather. But I'm glad that they are alive and is growing a least some.

Could be- No damage seen-just weird looking- Haven't seen them again!

Here are pics of my one left

Doing well except for the cold-I fertilze witha 1/8 strength 20-20-20 once a week

Its looking really great it seems to grow well, do you have cold weather to?

The weather in Northeastern USA has been a bit chilly. Last 2 days have been 60 f or lower. But figs are forming on my other trees surprisingly. All my new rootings are very slow because of the weather. A little below normal on weather. Very rainy. 5 days of sun, 5 days of rain. On and off.

Ok, guys..
When I was living on Black Sea..I eat all the time Patlican and Green figs..
They grow near houses..No one ever water them..
Black Sea almost never get cold..
We swim in a Sea in December...They are good tasting figs..
I don't think they do need polination.. I don't remember seeing wasps..
I do have few Patlican figs here from this year cuttings, they are easy to root..
Don't like too much sun..So they in a shade for now..

Thanks fo the tips Olga.

I have the green figs as well.

By the way I loved swimming in the sea offr the coast of Calabria in Italy.

Hi!
Yes, Black Sea a very beautiful place..I think this is was my favorite place and still now..If I will ever decide go back..I will go to a Black Sea..
I love the ocean, but here you can't swim to far, sharks..
And when water calm you can see everything in a buttom of a Sea..
I love to dive in a Sea and see all this life under water..
Beautiful place..
This is where I first time try fresh figs too..
Sweet memories..

Yes Thanks for the tips Olga.

My fig has grown nice all summer (I have only one left), it has a strong rootsystem now. Its has starting to grow more leafs, befor its stood still but the root was growing much.

in the one picture i see a cutting with the growth coming from the very end, is this the tip of the branch? all the plants that i bought from cuttings all leafed from a side node, so i have not seen this before. and if so does the cutting end up looking like a air layer?

I got this fig early this spring. It came from south Italy. The man  that I got it from was calling it a eggplant. He said, that is what they called it in Italy. I was wandering if it maybe is the same fig? It grows well for me in the sum. Only one fig on the tree and it has not ripen yet. The tree is a good grower. He told me that it gets fig twice a year, late june early july  and they are big. Shape like a eggplant. The next ones ripen end of september early october.

If you save the tip it will grow from there, if the tip is cut it will grow from a side node i think. Here is i side view; the tip has been pinched.

I have treated this like a baby. I have left it in a 1 gallon and slowly added fertilizer to it to build a strong root system.

Thanks

But i have kept my indoors (I took it inside in August), even do it has been warm outside. But it has grown nicely indoors. I also have a Romanian fig inside in the windowsill that has rooted and started to grow.

Hello

Dominick and Olga,
Please let us know how Patlican is doing.

Slowly. I may put in my Self watering containers to jump start

My friend from turkey told me that : Patlican, Bardacik Figd would need pollinator. (Figs wasp)
