So I unravelled the box filled with dry soil and got good news 😀 . This one year old inground actually survived. Just wanted to give you a heads up on its progress.

Impressive, especially given the pretty cold winter we had this year. I am curious though, when do you expect this one to set fruits and ripen them?

It’s too young for this one inground covered in soil. I’ll mainly focus on the growth this year. But the other one that was wrapped in coil is actually growing leaves. I’m hoping end of September given the fact it’s an early variety and its on her 4th season. I’ll take some photo updates.

Thank you for the update! It's great that the tree survived with only low tech protection.
 
My main inground has been exposed for the last 2 weeks. It’s looking healthy and blooming.

Hey guys here’s an update on my inground but I have a question I’m getting good growth but no fig bumps. Looks like 4 years in and roots are still being focused so frustrating. I’m getting full sun from the east to west. I just don’t understand. Started waking up in May. I would think by now I should start seeing dig bumps any similar situations?

Might be our crappy weather, mine is quite far behind last year, with only minimal growth.

I am curious, how many figs did this tree ripen last year and when? I recall last year you posted a picture of in in July, it had a lot of figs on it.
 
I took one of my trees outside soon after it started to break bud in the garage, IIRC April 24th, and let it be. I want to see how it grows and produces without any assistance here. It grew decent fruiting branches but no figlets yet, and it's almost mid-June. I do see some tiny bumps. I figure, maybe by month's end, I will see pea-sized figlets. I understand that typically, in ground would be 2-3 weeks behind.

I see your point of view. Basically the cold is suppressing its fruit growth. It definitely looks exactly like those tiny nodes showing in your photo. I was looking at them today and it’s slowly looking like it may be figlets in the next 2 weeks.

Too many of my trees aren't showing any figs yet this year. Really hope we get a lot more sun and heat really soon.

I do have more weeds in my pots than you do! :LOL:

That's great news. Hope you see those figlets soon.

Dang no figlets! All my 30 trees are loaded with about a less than 1/4 inch to 1/4 inch figlets. Do the hot bath method next time Joe use hot water in March on a good day. I believe it works.

I've got some but nowhere near as many as usual. I think next year I'm going to experiment with the big heat mat on my driveway.
