--- forest of seedlings

Igor,

OMG……. you have progressed way beyond the baggie and cup for sure!

Very impressive, your success!   Other than start looking for a larger piece of property, you might think of selling at a local farmers market.  At our local market a guy showed up one Saturday with a bunch of little greenhouse grown BT or Missions and had them all sold by noon.  You could be like a missionary, baptizing more fig converts and potential F4F members.   

Thanks for the interesting post and photos.

Shur, it's not a problem.  Name it a carved toy.

These are fruit from seedlings:  ...

Suspect the black fig to be a Smyrna
Both are very good figs, sweet and flavored, no final names yet.
Two additional edible figs from seedlings located.  Pictures of figs shall be shown later in this season

Re post#1:
>>>  I had many more but used only the healthiest seedling for uppotting.
What does healthiest mean? Bigger and more vigorous?

Unscientifically, I would have chosen a 'mix'; who knows a little-weakling may be a (desired) natural-dwarf fig tree...

Although good fruit is the goal; I would select any with very nice leaves too.

@ shur & lampo: Nice fig seedlings.

Sorry, guys, I have not been responding. I was on a work related trip LA to Mt Whitney and back in one day, about 450 miles.
Thank you all for your kind words.

I agree that it is best to keep them all but my room is limited. If anybody wants some, please let me know. You maybe lucky!

George,
I started many seeds of different varieties in a dish or in a tray. Some grew fast and very well, some at half the speed and some barely moved. At the point where it was time to uppot, I selected the ones that were uppotable, i.e. were large enough to be moved. The rest were discarded ( as well as many extras ).
I know it is a very scientific approach but that requires a lot of space which I do not have.
My attempt was more a curiosity than a deterministic take.
Even with what I left, I have a fig jungle.
They grow very fast, by the September they will be 4-5 ft tall and as thick as sharpie.

Hi! Greenfig, 

Everything around us is made of energy. Trees are also made of energies. Living trees have energy fields around them too. I sensed the energies from the 5 trees in your post #11, the third picture starting from the left, I found out that the 2 tall trees and the right-back tree are Caprifig. The front-left tree is the San Pedro type and the front-right tree is the common fig tree. 

Best,
Tam

huh, interesting take Tam, mind sharing your secret of guessing to the T?

Tam,
Was that a joke or you were serious?

Greenfig: I am a Grand Master of Reiki Energy. Reiki Energy is the Universal Life Force Energies. These energies (negative and positive electrons) are in us and they are surrounding our universe and other infinity universes. We all born with these energies. All we have to do is to unlock them and learn how to use them in our lives. I used these Reiki Energies to find out the fig types in my previous thread. The more you use these Reiki Energies in our lives, the more we get connected to our environment (nature) and also these energies help and cure diseases in our bodies. There are two types of Universal Life Force Energies: Cosmic Energies (above us) and Earth Energies (below us). Our bodies produce a lot of free radicals. These free radicals can be good if we are close to nature or they can become bad if we are less connected to nature and these bad free radicals inside us can pollute our bodies and cause all kinds of sickness. When the earth energies flow through our bodies, they carry with them a lot of negative electrons. When these negative electrons from our Loving Mother Earth touch the free radicals inside us, these free radicals automatically program to be helpful to our bodies. More information, if someone is interested in these.

Best,
Tam

Tam,
Thank you for your explanation, very interesting.

What is the difference in the energy between the common and caprifigs?

Also, I would like to ship some seedlings out to people. May I post the photos here for you to id them?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Once we know how to use these Reiki Energies, we can also send these healing energies to our sick fig trees. These healing energies will help them recover from their diseases like FMV faster and all of them will be very happy. When fig trees are happy, they will provide us very tasty figs.

Greenfig: Yes, I will try my best help you identify the fig types. But please let me see clearly each tree.

When we go more advance in these healing energies, we can give a command to the energies and let them know what do we want them to do. The more we do these the more accurate answers we will get from them. I only practice these healing energies a little more than 2 years. I hope there will be more experiential energy healers on this Fig 4 Fun, so they can provide us more helpful information about these subjects. We can only use these beneficial energies toward helping other life beings.

Best,
Tam

Hi! Everyone, 

I want to find out how many percents of accuracy on my sensing energies in identifying fig types are. So, I would like to ask the Forum Members to post photos of their known fig varieties, but do not tell me what types they are. So, I can sense and will let you know what the fig types of that varieties are. Please help!!! Thank you.   

Best, 
Tam

Igor, I am very proud of you. New daddy and new fig grower!  I wish I lived near, I would steal some of them from you.  Good Job!

Francisco, the dark one is the Sparrow fig , right? I remember the story. Have you considered comparing it with Rondo De Bordeaux?

Aaron,

Have no RdB to compare but from what I read/seen about, they seem to be very much different..remote similarities on shape but that's all I think
A couple of sticks from seedling rooting now, hopefully in 2 or three years I may have figs grown in proper soil . This particular parasitic seedling is being fed by the entrails of a palm tree only !

Francisco

amazing, make sure they survive, the fruit looks really good, so does the green one BTW.

I have also very much Seedlings. Seedlings the Basic for new Variity. Thats importen ti have Figs in new winterhard Areas.

You must be doing it right, they are growing.  Good job!  Thanks for the inspiration.

They have been outside since day 1, please see the first photo with the first sprouts.
The coin is a quarter.

Curiously enough, they do not care about the gnats, and there a lot of them. They use them as a fertilizier! The more the merrier :) Forget about watering from the bottom, Gnatrol, yellow sticky paper, etc.. this does not apply here.

The varieties I have germinated: VdB, Unk. Pastiliere, Lebanese Black, Panachee, Black Mission, Union Berry Unk., Green Unk, 184-15.

I started a few Black Mission seeds last Feb., I am sure these will grow just as well!

Enjoy!
How are these seedlings doing?

I gave them all away and do not know how are they doing.

WHY ! did you stop the experiment , not that you were not free to do so of course ? Just curious, because,remember, I have some growing too.

Here is a (Grantham's Royal x unknown) seedling from seed I got from Greenfig.  Germinated 1-2016 and started fruiting 10-2016.  Sid mentioned his Greenfig seedlings are starting to fruit also, so it's encouraging to know it doesn't always take a long time.  I like this one so far for it's fruit stem that helps it droop, keeping rain out of it's eye.  It also looks like it will have decent size fruit.  It's too early to know if it's male or female, open/closed eye, or even if it's persistent, but time will tell.

@CharlesC: Very Nice! You keep beating me. :) My figs are still small... Ten different seedling trees have fruit now. The trees are between 5-8ft tall and are all being planted in ground. 1 acre is for seedlings, 6ft spacing, for 1,200 fig trees per acre. Hopefully I can get some ripe figs by spring 2017.

Also looks like a Valley Black fig might be holding, will post a pic if it ripens.

Your larger operation will likely find the best seedling, but hopefully several of us seedling growers will find something that will be useful in some part of the world.  Good luck.
