Absolutely the potential is there. How? I don’t know. I grow more sticks than figs. We would
Love half your production!
Fig with most net production?

I am not familiar with the Gold version.

Oak’s pictures leave me breathless and mad at the same time
Great photos bud!
I don’t k is how he does it. The node spacing is awesome. Seems just enough to allow the figs to fully develop while keeping the tree as compact as it can be.
That is exactly what first caught my attention and got me very intrigued.

You must make a lot of jam. Or have a freezer full of figs. Beautiful tree's.Joe, since we are in the same climate and we both live next to the lake, I'll chime in, though I strongly believe that most varieties are perfectly capable of producing abundantly given favorable growing conditions.
Here are the ones that really stood out for me in the 2023 season. Caveat: all my trees get a headstart, and all figs typically ripen.

I suppose the raccoons aren't as bad in the west end ....

Four inground and one potted - all three years old. I would guess that we eat / give away half fresh and freeze the rest for various recipes and for breakfast over the winter.

Incorporating frozen into recipes is what I'm trying to get out of this. I don't know that basic flavour profiles will matter as much so I figure try getting as much bang for my buck as possible.

On mornings I have oatmeal for breakfast, I take 3-4 figs out of the freezer and into the refrigerator the night before. By morning, they’re mush, but once incorporated into the oatmeal they provide good flavor and sweetness so additional sugar isn’t required. If cooked down into jam, those 3-4 figs would probably only make a teaspoon worth of jam.

The Main crop was good. Have not had the breba yet. The animal's beat me to it. Seem to push both out at the same time.

Lots of light is probably the most important factor. I give mine at least 30 DLI during fruit set. I know, easier said than done... unless you start them in a grow tent.

You're starting all of those in a grow tent? Must be large?
I would love an. Overview of you head start setup when you are able. Lights, space, temps.... how you measure and control DLI.
