Im way late on posting these videos, this is from over 1 month ago. Hope they inspire some of you. This has been a vision of mine for a couple years now and this is just the start. Feel free to ask any questions. I plan on post videos throughout the summer to show the progress. __________________ Justin Palazzo Wish List: Red Sicilian,Red Israel,Sbayi, Martinenca Rimada(any of the Rimada family) Dauphine/Grantham's Royal,Figo Preto, Olympian Quality Unknown Cultivars

Enjoyed your video, Thank You for posting. I'm kind of doing the same thing in East Austin. Without irrigation it has been a struggle. What spacing are you using for your fig trees? __________________ Sas from North Austin TX Zone 8B Wish list: Becane

Thanks for the video. I planted mine around 8 foot apart. I have 36 figs in my field. I ran out of room. So maybe i can add more trees in between all my trees. __________________ RICHIE BONI HICKORY LOUISIANA ZONE 8B WARM HUMID WINRERS ARE VERY MILD LOW 20'S BUT WARMS RIGHT UP DURING THE DAY.

12 ft row spacing and 8 ft between trees. Gonna keep everything pruned for easy picking. This is at my family property in Bryan, TX. I live in the woodlands. __________________ Justin Palazzo Wish List: Red Sicilian,Red Israel,Sbayi, Martinenca Rimada(any of the Rimada family) Dauphine/Grantham's Royal,Figo Preto, Olympian Quality Unknown Cultivars

Excellent job my friend! I noticed you said you planted 8 feet apart within the row but it seems you planted closer than that in the raised beds. Is that the case or is it an optical illusion? __________________ Micah 4:4But each one shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, with no one to make them afraid, for the mouth of יְהוָה of hosts has spoken.
