Hello! @Figless, @ktrain, @Figgerlickinggood, @GoodFriendMike, @TorontoJoe, and @2Angels: I hope I'm putting this in the right spot. Thanks so much for having me, and for the warm welcome! I think I'll like it here. A horticultural playground filled with dog lovers and figs sounds like a dream destination.

Thank you so much! I'm still poking around figuring things out (no pun intended) both on the forum and with the figs I'm growing. I love the incredible diversity of figs, both foliage and fruit. It did not take long to go from "I think I'll buy a couple of sale-priced figs online" to becoming obsessed.

So what fig are you currently growing?

 

[Vulpinor]

Hello everyone, Thanks for the warm welcome!
I have found this forum/ community, while doing research on figpops. Just got infected with the fig virus early this year. Made some hardwood cuttings that are starting to root and grow some leaves. Needed to know how to continue with this stage of cutting. Living in the South-West of the Netherlands. I didn't know Ficus carica has so many obsessed enthusiasts. Hoping to have some backup when I have some Fig related questions.

 

[Clickswithdogs]

So what fig are you currently growing?

Socorro Black, Black Manzanita, NdSC, Celeste, Sodus Sicilian, Orphan, YLN, JFE Black Madeira Not, CLBC, some LSU figs(Purple, Gold, ICON, Hollier, and Tiger), VdS, Kazery, White Adriatic, Emerald Strawberry, CdD Ciutat, Rubado, LdA, Dalmatie, RLBV, Crozes, Rasberry Latte, Texas Everbearing, White Texas Everbearing, GE Neri, Zaffiro, Lilla, Exquisito, Thermalito, Gabriela Unk., Julie's, Navid's Dark Greek Unk., Smith, Shasta Peach, Wuhan, Sweet Joy, Alma, Violeta, Campaniere, Popone, I-258, and an unknown fig from cuttings I took from my mother's garden. Most are young , started last fall or during winter, but quite a lot have figlets so I'm hoping to get to try some this summer and fall. Hollier has one nearly ripe now. It had one on 3/30 that got knocked off so I tried it and even though I think it was days away from being ripe, it was very, very sweet.
Edited to add Dominick's and Atreano.

Nice collection.

 

[Figless]

@Clickswithdogs Wow that is a wonderful collection I think I lost count somewhere over 30 varieties, but I've never been that good at math. It looks like 46 different varieties, which is amazing congratulations

 

[Figless]

I'm currently using the Fig pop method as well, but the Transparent cup. and lid method works well too. Especially if you have two green thumbs, which apparently you do.
