All these tree planted in my yard without any protection. I didn't put mulch either. They are all first year in ground. I though I've lost all of them. I found that almost all of them sprout from the root.

Hi jimmychao, I would give them a 30 centimeters circle free of any weeds. Those are competing with the trees for light and nutrients - and of course that doesn't help the tree in their recovering . I would put some slug bait as those creature can ruin those tiny sprouts ... Fertilizer + watering as always :). They will recover faster if you help/baby them a bit. I would decide quickly how many stems/buds to leave for growing as reducing the number of stems/buds will help the tree grow bigger branches/stems in the coming season. It is always nice to see a tree bounce back ! Wow, BT not bouncing back ! I would check for rodent damage ! __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

Hi Jimmy! Nice to hear that some of your fig trees are recovering. I could also confirm that happens with my fig planted last year. I have planted in ground more rooted cuttings of one or two years of various cultivars. They had protection for winter, but they were killed to the ground level. Now almost all are starting to sprout and look similar like yours. __________________ Romania, Europe in zone 6, 47N

Jimmy, I sure hope the rest of your figs are still viable and sprout up soon. __________________ Michael in Virginia (zone 7a) Wish list: Perretta,

Vladis, what was your winter lowest minimum temp as you are in zone 8? In my area, we had a mild winter, -16C lowest. Also, do you have cold hardy figs? How about persimmons, there are new hybrids from Ukraine, do you grow them? Can you send cuttings to Europe? Thanks! __________________ Romania, Europe in zone 6, 47N

Jimmy I hope for the best for the others and am glad to hear you have life on the others. I would not give up yet. I had 16 in ground plants with most being yearlings all but 3 are putting out at this point. I'm still hoping for those to put out as well. __________________ goss North Ga. zone 7

Black Madeira survived? Wow! I thought they aren't too cold hardy and do best in containers in our zone?! I'd love a cutting of your survivor if ever you have to offer! __________________ -Joe- Queens NY Zone 6b-7a depends on who you ask!
