I have used this for the past year it seems to work well. I do recommend this as it helps eliminate over watering. Bought mine at home depot.

Well here it is feb 10 2016 and very few of the figs I put into gallon pots have gone dormant. We have had a normal winter so far several nights in the 20's and many days in the 40's. Now the weather is really warming up and the foliage is starting to green up. My figs still are growing very green about a dozen have lost their leaves and seem to be dormant.
If they do not go dormant will they be good this spring?
What to do?

Next door was a museum . A museum told you the history of the place where I was going to explore  


Once upon a time there was a village at this location with a busy harbor. Many ships from other countries came here , and many merchandises were imported to England, including fig trees . Somehow the coast ravaged this part of the country and the whole village disappeared. The Fig tree survived and is still growing every year . Its true age is FOUR HUNDRED years, not 300 hundred as mentioned somewhere in this forum

Here I am with the 400 year old fig tree of The Ship Of Dunwich

Love the tree and the hat.

Not too long ago there was a question on Pro mix HP CC I have been using it about a month now and there has been no die off or any question of it not holding moisture. The one thing I have noticed is that you HAVE to pre moisten the mix that solves the problem of the water running right thru it.

I have had dealings with this person. Do not waste your time. I won an auction for three Black Madeira cuttings and I got three very thin cuttings, I complained and she said: "thats why you could get them so cheap". note that she offered many sought after cuttings and  her return address is in apt#1. Where could she be growing all these fig trees? I will never buy from them again. Larry

Adding fuel to the fire, I was going to bid on an ice crystal cutting on e-bay but I questioned the owners if these trees were self fertile, the response was a simple "YES". Now I find them listed here on suspected e-bay scammers.  It was 77 peony.

I wanted to get one of these until I found outthat the needed the wasp. Any way the story is that the ice crystal was offered  on e-bay by none other than peony77. I queried them asking if the plant was self fertile and they responded very simply 'Yes'. I just found them listed on the scammers of e-bay list.

green fig has sent me two batches of fig seeds. The first batch was incredible. I think that the entire shipment germinated and are now in cups or gallon containers, many also reside in friends houses.  They are gorgeous.
The second batch has nearly all germinated and are now in the seed leaf stage and getting stronger many are getting real leaves.
Igor sends hem to you in a state that ,if you can sprout any seed these seeds will sprout and flourish.
Thank you very much Igor.
