Well, I decided to dedicate a new terrace for the new grads so they would be on hold until their future is decided...
Prepped the terrace with wood chips and Slug control before placing them to rest..So far they have not been eaten nor disturbed by any creators or bugs.

But then, they are not carrying precious cargoes Yet!

           

Vast and beautiful setup!

beautiful Aaron!  I envy your locale

My idea of heaven!!

Hi Aaron4usa,
I would have buried the pots in the mulch layer to avoid the wind blows and to allow to water the zone without tossing some pots to the ground.
That terrace is beautiful !

very very nice!

This is a nice setup  Aaron!
Congratulations.

Francisco

I hope you don't burn them.

thanks everybody...I am so proud of them :)

@jd, we don't have winds in LA...the weather is very calm and monotone...I avoided the over-mulching on purpose to avoid roots coming out of the pots.

@Bob, on contrary, I agree with few other friends who saw it in person, I don't think there is enough sun...I need to cut /illiminate some branches of the trees above them to let more sun in. They need to be toughened and weathered. They are a bit on leggy side (well, not all but maybe 30% of 'em are leggy) Ideally, I want to see more compact growth.

@Francisco, there are still a lot of them in sea-through food container, as you sees, haven't up opted them to 1G.  

Very nice indeed.

How convenient that you had that nice terrace just waiting for your figs!  Good job, Aaron!
If it starts getting difficult to walk between the plants as they grow, I will be much obliged to help you out by taking a few plants.   :)

Aaron,

Your sun is much friendlier than mine...the young trees you show on your pictures left exposed to 'my sun', would cook  in 3 or 4 hours. Best I can do is to keep them under the peach canopies where they get some filtered sun light, and once more acclimated, with strong roots and nice thicker green leaves, they would move to full exposure. To help these young trees into adulthood, give them light doses of a dilution of 'bat guano' in river water through the bottom/drain holes.

hehehe...Marie... I do have back ups of each variety but it is too soon to get rid of them... the new grads are very unpredictable as I hear...
about the terrace... Once I re-pot the ones that are not in 1G pots into 1G pots  I'm going to expend the terrace into lower level too...ugh, so much to do, so little time...
 
Francisco, that's what I was thinking initially , the first year is strictly for growing hight and leaves, maybe after dormancy I'll have a harsher setup for them for coming spring. 

That's a beautiful sight!  ...and a beautiful site!

All of the young graduates lined up for the commencement speech...

That is a big graduating class.  Where are you gonna put em all when they grow up?  :) 

Ed, hopefully if all goes well, in the forest that I am planning to create for public education and research...

I would never distort any of these, if anything I would give away. I'm sure forum members would appreciate them ;)
What came free must go free!

As I read your post I heard this "Muahaha!"  and I feared the worst.

oh God...LOL
