Hi everyone--I'm so glad to have found this forum!  I was gifted a Marseilles from Monticello (yellow outside, crimson inside) as a wedding present three years ago and finally got my first few delicious figs this year.  Hooray!

I'll be combing through all the great advice here, so if anyone wants to reply with some of the best knowledge for a newbie, I'd be more than grateful!  I'm really looking forward to learning more beyond my drive-by fig stalking on the way to work, haha.

I'm getting ready to prune this weekend, so if anyone wants to trade for a Marseilles cutting, let me know! (adorable moody dog not included)

 

Hi Sarina,

He is adorable.

Welcome!  You will learn so much.  This a great place to learn and then you get fig fever.  LOL.

I spent months reading and reading when I was new.  Still am learning every time I turn around, there is something I never thought about trying from air layering to grafting.  When starting I was just trying to figure out the propagation part.

I will also be pruning, and offering cuttings up to forum member shortly, but will put it out in its own thread.

Nice looking fig too.
