Why I have only 3 Fig Trees

Richard thanks for your reply regarding the heat on pots.
I would like know if you have any info about airlayering apricots?

Thanks

Coooool.  Awesome response, thanks!

That is a very impressive set up! Wish we had more flat ground for more trees.

Very impressive, Richard.  That's how you take advantage of living in your zone!

Nope, sorry. But in my experience cuttings are easy to root or graft onto suitable rootstock.

Here's my reference for propagation: "Plant Propagation" ed. Alan Toogood.
You'll discover it is published under two different covers: one from AHS and the other DK. Inside they are identical.

Hey Gina, how about I drive over and move those boulders out of the way!

Another day, another tree planted.

Here's my Panache, just transplanted from a 25-gallon into this basin. Behind it you see the Janice-Kadota I planted yesterday.

Here's the Violette de Bordeaux in the ground -- that's 3 out of 3!

WOW!!!  I have never seen a home project like this before.  I am looking forward to watching it grow and mature.

Funny!  We filled our holes with water... well, we tried to, but somehow a gopher tunnel broke through.  OMG!  Two hours later, no water in that hole!  We let it all go.  Shrugged, filled the hole with soil, put it on a drip, and the tree is now 5 times the size it was when we planted it.  Gopher tunnels go forever!

There's no gophers or voles on my property. They have no way to tunnel in. If they try to scamper in they risk death by several predators. If they do make it in my dog will remove it. So far, only one made it in last year and didn't dig more than a few inches before it was nailed.
