Do you grow as a hobby or business?

Hobby, In ground in San Jose, CA

White Genoa
Desert King
VdB
Peter's Honey (with S. Verte, Vdb, Panache grafts this year....hope they take!)

I enjoy to eat em.
What types i grow are the better of the two in my humble opinion - Dark Types

Just starting out. I have:
In ground: Celeste, brown turkey, Marseilles black vs, ischia Green, Adriatic JH, Florea, Chicago Hardy,

Rooting : ronde de Bordeaux, sal's G, Gino's, Maryland brown turkey, Figo Preto, Lsu gold, Hollier, improved Celeste, unknown black Madeira, plus above.

It's just a hobby, but I have acreage and with success hope to locally market some produce if in ground trees thrive

It is just a hobby with me, but I get very obsessed about it.  I read everything I can get my hands or eyes on and I am always looking for the next new cutting to try.

Below is a list of fig trees growing and or cutting with leaves I am growing.

I had two in ground figs the last couple of years and this fall decided to ratchet it up so in the last few months started trading for and buying cuttings.  My goal was to stop at 50 varieties but last week hit 60 varieties lol.   Currently have 28 varieties in ground and the rest are in cups or bags but going well.  

Hi!
I just recently got into fig trees (and gardening in general) as a hobby. I have : Black Mission, Panachee, VDB, and LSU Purple- all in containers.
CA 10b

Just a hobby.

Hunt, Peter's Honey, Black Madeira, Violette de Bordeaux, Hardy Chicago, Celeste, Alma, Sal's EL, Col de Dame (white), Enderub. Rooting Ronde de Bordeaux, Marseilles Black VS. In ground and in pots.

Hardy chicago, black mission, marseilles black vs, green ischia, shtawi, birtati, bwaydi, negronne. Some of these i'm going to receive in the next few months though.

Scott, I'm surprised you only have what you do.  How is Hunt and Alma doing for you?

Hobby.

I am ashamed at the number of "fig variety experiments" I have going on in my yard.
I need to get my current on-line listing up to date.

hobby so far. compare to others, i have very small number of trees.

hobby - 57 varieties

Too many to list.

Neither a hobby or a business, it's an ADDICTION!

Currently rooting and recently rooted close to 200 and 20 or so older trees.

Thanks to DrivewayFarmer,Jon and eBay. I have quite a few. My favorites so far are Ronde de Bordeaux, Atreano and Paradiso Bronze. I haven't even tasted these yet.

I have to agree with Tonycm. It is an addiction.

I started last year and now have 15 varieties plus 4 more coming soon. All are in containers so far.

And too many more

Celt, how many total do you have? I noticed you only listed 'A' and 'B', and that's more that what I have. LOL

Dan, Good to see your back.

Hi Shah

I tend to cull (give away) ones that don't do well in the rain or aren't great tasting (to my taste) because I don't have unlimited room.

Hunt is a keeper although it tastes like a large Celeste right now. Alma has not done well for me yet. It produces a lot, but is just not good tasting (yet). If it doesn't produce, it goes down the road (there is a guy just down the road that will take it, he has my Mary Lane).

Scott,
Do you grow your col de dame in ground and if so so how cold hardy is it?

Another 'too many to list' here. Mine are all young and many will be tasted for the first time this year.

A hobby run amuk, lol.

One of the more fun plant adventures I've ever had. :)

Hobby, limited space.  trying to keep with cold hardy I can keep in the ground.  Look to my signature.
