I have about 17 varieties right now but the others aren't quite ready yet. I'm not sure about the regulations to ship plants out of the U.S.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

On a side topic, if anyone ever needs help with aquariums, let me know. Have been keeping all types of tanks including high tech planted and reef tanks for more than 20 years now.

I guess 1 addicting expensive hobby just wasn't enough for me... This one tastes better than aquariums though.
Welcome ! Sounds like we have some things in common. My husband and I have been into reef tanks for years as well. We use to grow rare corals and sale the frags but I've taken over the tanks . They are now used for figs ! Lol.

She also sends this... "I moved the figs down under the benches. Turning off the irrigation and will hand water as needed. Should have been doing it anyway but got lazy and started using irrigation on a timer. The mist bench will still be on and will keep the humidity up inthe greenhouse. I read the comment about needing 10 year study. We can publish findings at 5 years and continue the study for another 5 and publish at 10 years. Good input. This spring will be exciting and a lot of work but looking forward to it. Need all the input for planting we can get. Susan"

Hey Charlie. I'm Angela I own a garden center in Beebe,Ar. . I'll have lots of veggies, fruit trees, few fig varieties , grapes, muscadines and about every type of berry you can think of in the spring. I'd be happy to help out .

It shouldn't bother it at all. I use sulfur around mine if it's a established tree in the ground. I sprinkle it around it like table salt (not heavy at all) . Make sure you keep it at least 6"-8" away from the truck. Sulfur works great this way it kills bad nematodes and fruit beetles.

I haven't had problems with rodents in the leaves but I had problems with them in my newly planted seeds. I used a good granulated sulfur around my greenhouse and inside it. Kinda smelled for a couple days !! Lol. It seemed to work well with the rodent issue and I also use sulfur first thing in the spring to rid my place of snakes. They hate sulfur ! Btw sulfur maybe safe for some plants but use caution if using inside greenhouse. It may cause burning on young seedlings! Just place around inside perimeter of greenhouse and outside. Do not and I repeat do not use on plants unless you research it first. I use it on some of my plants like Azaleas but what's safe on one plant may not be for another.

I have a 14x40 greenhouse . I have the city drop off leaf debris in late spring - winter . Most cities are happy to accommodate you. It keeps them from having dump it. In my greenhouse I add leaves to the center about 2' across 3' high by the length of my greenhouse. The leaves produce tons of heat in the decomposing process. Well water works best to keep leaves moist to help decomposing process along . City water kills the good bacteria that helps break the leaves down. If you only have city water you can fill up buckets or tubs let it set for 48 hrs. and this will neutralize the additives they add to the water, then damp the leaves with the water. Two years ago the temps got down to 9 degrees for 2 nights both nights with no added heat it stayed at it's coldest in the greenhouse at 43 degrees. For plants that require more heat you can use this process along with added leaf debris on sides or back of greenhouse. In doing this to create heat inside the greenhouse I add 4' of French drain pipe or you can use any large pipe ( 4"-8" works best) I run 2' outside the greenhouse with the other 2' running inside. I space these about 3'-5' apart . Then, you simply add leaf debris to cover the pipes on the outside. The pipes need to be place in the centers of your leaf piles on the outside so with 2' extending outside I normally spread 4' of leaves in depth and you can go as little as 2' high or pile it as high as you want it. You can play around with it. You can always add or take away leaves to lower or increase your heat. I'm not saying this is going to solve all your heating needs but it's worked great for me . What's great about this method as well , you have wonderful compost in the spring right inside and around your greenhouse for those awesome new figs you have growing !!!!

If your town or city picks up leaves in the fall. I can tell you one of the cheapest and easiest ways of heating your greenhouse with very little to no substitute heat.

Hey, Frank. I'm zone 7. I have triple Crown thornless blackberries, Darrow blackberries, Premier rabbit-eye southern high bush blueberries, Tiff blue blueberry also southern high bush rabbit-eye, native mulberry , few everbearing Ozark Beauty strawberries and will be getting many more items in spring such as grapes, Muscadines , elderberry and more. I try and propagate or buy as local as possible so the plants are acclimated to the temps here(zone) . If interested in anything let me know. I'm always up for horse trading plants /cuttings. Thanks ! Oh, I do have tons of pomegranate cuttings.

What climatic zone is Arkansas?
I'm zone 7a . I've been born in raised in the plant nursery busy. My parents were in the business for 40+ plus years. I opened my business about 9 years ago. I was in charge of the propagation for my parents nursery for years. I've been propagating more and more for my own business every year. I start a lot of my own veggies, herbs, shrubs , trees, perennials and annuals from seed or cuttings. I also sale fruit trees and name it with berry bushes . I know it's a fig forum but if anyone has in questions about other plants I'll do what I can to help.

My name is Angela. I'm happy to be a part of this group. I'm excited to get started and become a great Figster. I own a garden center here in Arkansas and have been propagating plants for years . I've been experimenting with figs this year and boy do I have to say I'm happy to have found this group. Im use to propagating shrubs and trees off new growth in the spring . I tried this with some Brown Turkey this spring in my cold frame . It wasn't a complete failure but starting them when their more dormant seems to be the way to go about it. I can't wait to build up a great fig collection . If you have any extra cuttings you would be willing to share I sure will appreciate it. I don't have much of what would call a fig collection now but would be happy to share other fruit tree and berry cuttings I have. Thanks everyone !
