New giveaway - can we give out 50 Angelitos.....using single node propagation?!?

I watched your video on this, very cool idea, got me thinking I have some cuttings left the someone gave me and that aren't that great, and (inspired by you lol)I am going to experiment with those now and cut them to single nodes. I hope you have good success with that. Another friend of mine actually gave me a 3" angelito cutting last yr that broke off his tree that had only 2 nodes and i stuck it in the pot all last year and I now have it inside and it is starting to show growth, which i was super exciting about. I also am really tossing around the idea of growing one indoors (thanks to you AGAIN!) .

YAAAY this message got me excited on several fronts. Hey please do not hold back in reaching out if I can help in any way at all. The more people who succeed inside, the sooner we can help the world. I am right here if I can help in any way. Or if you want to share your success on my channel - I share other people's set ups when I have time. I have a backlog of like 5 but always looking for more 😅😅😅

@FiggyEd I'm honored to be part of this challenge. You reached out to me about this challenge and I love the collaboration and that members will have free Angelito trees excites me just as it excites you. I love to experiment and that's what led me to be rooting single node fig cuttings since 2020. I have fig trees that were rooted as single node producing figs for me. This will be fun along with @MyFigStix and @JaysfigsTx.

YASS TY brother!! I did not know you were doing it since 2020 and have trees that produced already. HUGE!!! Super excited to me learning from you man.........

I really like yours and considered having my husband make something similar as the contracting colors are great. Unfortunately, I have enough problems transporting and removing trees from 20" pots so I cannot imagine removing trees from a wooden one that are as large as yours.

I would like to let you know from past experience from using oak barrels and redwood pots that roots will get imbedded into the sides and they rot at the bottom over time. Rot over time is to be expected, but I didn't expect the roots to grow into the sides. Maybe you coated the interior and bottom with something?

Hmmmm….i had not considered the roots growing into the wood. Some I lined and some I did not. Honestly I am pushing these planter s to the brink on purpose. I want to eventually sell them and I need to know what they can handle. If they can last a year filled to the top with soil and a fig tree, they will be great for a patio and flowers! 😁. Thank you for the heads up on the roots! I will be looking for this!

Absolutely man thank you, yeah I will be in touch, all of this has me thinking of all the scrap pieces or the ugly ones I threw out over the last 6 years, that i could have made single node cuttings out of 😂😂, my gosh!!!
 
I'm going to go ahead and throw @FiggyEd under the bus here... (just a little) :p Man, this is a very cool project and I'm going to have to insist you post regular pics of your progress so we can follow. I've never seen anything quite like this before so I don't want to miss any of it!

Now I want to be clear... figfanatic.com does not condone any wagering whatsoever on how many nodes will be successful. To ensure there's no inappropriate betting... I'm just going to call it now and tell you all... when all is said and done, it's going to be 39 Angelito trees! :p

Sorry for the spoiler! :D

Check this video out and please let me know what you think....Some very cool stuff going on with single node cuttings. Check out Eretabe Gardens on YT (@goodnessatlanta on here) to see his genius brain at work. He is one person who took up the challenge described in the attached video. My friends, Danny (@MyFigStix on here and YT) and Jeremy (@JaysfigsTx here and on YT), my fellow newie crew members, are also taking up the challenge. They are researching hard and I have complete faith in them. One thing I really LOVE about our newbie crew is that we expect to make mistakes, and we aren't afraid of our failures. We have a zero tolerance for jerks rule, and we pass no judgment. We plan to learn a lot and share the journey with our friends. But those two guys are doing some really impressive stuff right now. All winter I am getting texts about some cool new thing they are trying. Try, learn, improve, try some more.....trust the process ;-)

I’ve been working with a couple of single node cuttings myself. I even have a couple of what I refer to as half node cuttings because I took what turned into half nodes because I used the other part for grafting material. The actual bud is missing but 1/2 of the node is still there. It was a castagnat and blanquella, both had put out roots but I’m not sure if they will do anything since the actual leaf bud is not there. I’ll be impressed if a new leaf node appears. Those cuttings where just way to expensive to throw any part out.

LOL Amen to that brother!! Seriously cannot wait to hear if that works. I'll have to convince one of these guys to try something like that

My hope is I do not ever need to move them. Lol!! I like the looks of them and if I can protect them from the few nights we get below 25, our first this year is supposed to be tomorrow night, then I think they are going to work great. But….if I have to move them……ugghhh!!

You should build one and keep it hollow so you can drop an air pruning pot inside. Beauty on the outside and science on the inside.
