They are stored in attached garage which gets into the teens usually in January for a spell.

Never had MvsB , i do know genuine EL.Sals from years ago is very productive.
I say years ago as the nursery now claims their Hc and Sals are the same as they sold them seperate
10 years ago.

Now I have about 50 new cuttings generating little fig trees that I had ordered and forgot about. The stage I'm at, is called the evaluation stage as it takes time to decide what to keep and what not to keep.
For some it's a long process, not to mention that natural selection will do a certain job on my trees in years to come. I managed to loose about ten of them this past winter.
If you have some trees and you're having fun, more is better perhaps in the beginning. It is probably a common beginner's mistake.
At some point I will narrow down the list as I get to know which ones will do and taste best in my area.


 Its good to acquire many at first then find the ones that are special to
personal palate and weed out the ones not over tme no matter what there names are.

Were all different as some are more discerning than others in their taste and some well just
seem to like most figs.


Sas you post is very well thought out in my humble opinion i like to add .

Rather have inground, container culture is a pain as root pruning is cumbersome.

Pete get off the computer and take some pictures when its 90 its not too hot to water or pick the figs. ; )
We want pictures We want pictures We want pictures

Barnhardt  -usually but not always thats a sign the that area has dried up and is dead.
Iv'e seen that in past on some of ours and seen it work its way down further waiting to see if it will
come back which is very bad sign.

Pete in warm places say Hawaii they go thru a rest period what we in cold climates call dormancy as they stop producing figs then they start again.
I do not believe its a full deep dormancy like ours in a garage per say.
But enough to give plant a breather  - rest period.
Just my thoughts and not facts.

  I follow what you're saying about pinching, but the "pairs of leaves" part is throwing me...
Jim


This is what im talking about  - look carefully at the way the pairs are arranged .
The longer the nodes the further up the leaf stem is.

5 pairs on 1 branch equate to 8 -10 figs sometimes the bottom pair will not make the figs and sometimes they will.
In a container to many branches not pruned makes to many figs depending on
size of plant and size of container can diminish quality of the figs and or
stress the tree going into off season as there is only so much room in pot to support the root system
per size of plant.

3rd year no figs yet ?
This season nip the ends of the branches after 5th pair of leaves each pair grow on opposite sides and counted as such.
When new growth (shoots) appear at the cut take them off and if plant is self pollinating you will get the figs.
Try it.

In follwing years you do the same but can instead of taking all the new growth (shoots) off that appears after the nip
you select a shoot that is growing in your favor which is outward not inward toward the main or in a down position.
