Big thread of Fig seedling's

[RandyK]

Always late. But always has something to add.
Great looking seedling man.

Thanks! It is growing well. I still don't see any fruit on it yet (it is in its 3rd year), so not sure if its male or female yet.

Dried Ficus Johannis. Very small figs but tasty and will produce some trees with neat leaves.

Your hand gives it scale. I imagined they were larger. Looks like they have some nice seed crunch

I will take a photo of one next to a coin when I get home this afternoon. Definitely small but tasty and does have a good seed crunch

I don't have updated pictures right now, but I have 500 seedling split between Albanian Black cherry ad Feather river. I ordered 10 inch root trainer pots and a rack that holds 98 pods each, I have 1 for ABC and 1 for FR. I started up potting these inside, in my grow room. when I finished 98 of the FR, I brought a tray of the ABC's in to start on them. They were in the grow room for about 3 weeks and I hadn't done anything with them except keep them watered. A couple weeks ago I decided to move them all back out to the green house. What I noticed was a huge difference in the way they grow. In the green house they get tall and lanky, even though I have 40% shade cloth covering the GH. and they have very long straight tape roots and corresponding roots. When I up potted the tray I took inside, I noticed the plant was much greener, with a much stiffer stalk. The root was more of a conformed root ball versus long lanky roots, and they were much thicker roots. I may move all of them inside just based on their growth habits between the 2 locations.

So cool! Is this any more difficult to grow than Carica? Later?

Easy to grow and may be more cold hardy.

Giuseppe needs some of that!
