Inground Project zone 4-5

[Vitooch1]

I’ve learned more recently that pruning back to really old wood on in ground trees really slows things down. I’m back to working harder to protect younger budding wood so it can fruit earlier…..

I’m also hoping the ground heat waking them up earlier will help with this.

I’m curious to know what’s your progress on the ingrounds? Just like to compare on what stage it’s at. Is it starting to show fig bumps and can you show us some photos.

Figs start to form on my inground trees ~4-5 weeks after the first leaves get to full size. Looking at your earlier photos from mid-May and mid-June, I’d reason that your tree got its first full leaves around June 1, which should put fig formation between now and early July. Maybe add another week or so due to cooler temperatures up there.

Do you have an inground comparing my situation?

I’ll take a few photos this evening and post photos from earlier on in season for comparison.

Here is the stage my inground is at. I believe it woke up a bit later than yours.

@Vitooch1 - This is the I-258. Little bumps



I intended to get you some pictures of the other tree in the back yard but I couldn't get through the house without the family distracting me to the point that I totally forgot.

Hey Mick you got an inground wow. What are you doing to winterize?
