Scott's Black Fig Video Review

Thanks for posting your nice little tree and fruit Joe.

I am sure it will grow to a good size in the upcoming years.

May I ask...you mentioned those nermatodes. We don't know that in our colder climate over here.
Do they eat the roots?

Nice video Joe, thanks for posting.

Root Knot Nematode - RKN, tiny wormlike creatures that infest the root system, cutting off the flow of nutrients to the tree.  Prevalent only in sandy soils, especially SE coast of the US.

There are many types of nematodes, many of them beneficial, but not RKN.

Another nice video and a nice looking fig.
Thanks for posting. I check here and on youtube regularly to make sure I don't miss any of your videos.

Thank you Phil, I really apprichiate your explantion!

Thanks for the comments.  Christian I was referring to root knot nematodes, as Phil pointed out.  They damage the roots and make it harder for the tree to take up water and nutrients.  A healthy fig tree that is growing strong seems to be able to do ok even with the nematodes.
