OK a few weeks ago I ran across a post about I think stimulating side branching ? Some one mentioned cutting a nick above or below a node to stimulate branching ? another member posted an illustration showing how to do it . This illustration showed cutting a nick above or below a node , one would stimulate branching one fruiting ? I thought I had book marked the post but I guess I did not .. I tried searching but can't find post . Does any one have link to this post or the illustration ?? thanks __________________ AUSTIN Read more mad non- scientist stuff ....check out my post on KITTY LITTER ! http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/kitty-litter-really-kitty-litter-7398708?pid=1287129765#post1287129765 "I grow fruit of the wine!"

Were you thinking of nothching? I believe you would want to notch above the bud on figs for branching. Could it have been the other forum? They had one about 2 months ago. http://www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-home/15263-notching-tall-and-slender-tree __________________ Don - Columbus, OH.

is that the only way?..cuz I have a black mission FIGS tree from Lowes that I bought a few weeks ago and only two branches on the tree are growing and it has multiple branches and I just didn't like the idea of pinching or notching because it slows the growth of the tree I still want the other branches to grow but I don't want to stop the main from going I just want to know if there's any other way to induce branching __________________ Name JAILEN feel free to call me jc ........wish list...... black madeira ,ischia b lack, green ischia, patrics super giant, rdv, negronne, maltese falcon, lsu gold, lsu purple, lsu tiger, lounge d out, golden, celeste, black jack, black mission, brunswick, blue ischia, panache, strawberry latte, armenian, mvsb, col de dame, col de dame grise, col de dame noir, hardy chicago, peters honey, peti negri, unknowns, magnolia, kathleen black, labanese, and any othere except bt, and celeste improved bt or celeste are fine ,cuttings/plants zone 8a goldsboro north carolina.

Here is the diagram I was looking for . I have some long skinny trees with few branches . I will try this to see if it induces some branches pinching did not do the trick . __________________ AUSTIN Read more mad non- scientist stuff ....check out my post on KITTY LITTER ! http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/kitty-litter-really-kitty-litter-7398708?pid=1287129765#post1287129765 "I grow fruit of the wine!"

If you try it, please let us know how it goes. I was planning to give this a go next spring on a potted tree that has a gap where I wanted branch. My concern was that it might inhibit supply and therefore the growth of branches on the same side but above the notch. I don't understand how the plumbing system works yet... __________________ Mic ~ Australia ~ Equivalent to US Zone 10

Hi, Giving fertilizer /"N"/Azote to the tree will help her branch and grow or grow and thus branch. At some point they branch were they want, when they want. Just make them grow and let them decide where it will happen . Then trim and shape, if the result is not completely as expected . I have my "longue d'aout" ... I could burn her ... But after 5 years, she seems to want to grow at a better rate. That lady is 4 feet/1,20meter of height with no root shoot at all ... She drives me crazy ... But die-back, stinging bugs and rodents may be helping her being that stubborn. She made 8 figs last year... So ok, let her be . I'm just fertilizing her crazy and watering every week a watering can or two . "Longue d'aout" is described as a strain that does not send root-shoots ... I do agree with that statement . __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

Ha ha, yes they do have a mind of their own! Yes, I agree, and I usually do let nature takes its course. But like James, I thought this might be a nice way of making a suggestion to her, especially when the wood where the branch is wanted is a couple of seasons old. Is Azote a particular type of N fertiliser, or is it the French term for nitrogen rich fertilisers in general? __________________ Mic ~ Australia ~ Equivalent to US Zone 10
