How many figs on your trees this year ??

I had around 5 or 6, but after all this wind, I doubt there are any left!!!! Will check tomorrow (if it not raining!!! ) :rolleyes:

 

Nate, absolutely none. I pull them all off to get maximum foliage size, jungle style. :D

 

Lots! I love figs, wouldn't dream of pulling any off. Mine is a cutting from neighbour in cambs, doing well despite being awash with cement last year when builders repointed a bit of the shed it grows against.

It's the common brown turkey. I'd like some other varieties!

 

This is one bit of my little tree, a bit straggly as I didn't prune it last year after it was stressed by the builders!

There are at least 15 viable figs on this bit and the same on the other half. In the circumstances I'm pleased with it!

 

Hi Liz, mine isn't a particularly edible one. I bought the plain Ficus Carica purley for the foliage. I think if you want a tasty one the brown turkey that nate has is good.

Nate this one is a seedling off my other fig. It is about about 3 feet tall and is 3 years old so yours won't take long to spread out and will taste better than mine!

 

er..... 4 plump green ones and 7 very small brown one which I think need taking off... well, come on - what did you expect with my track record???!!! :rolleyes:

 

^ lol


Am going outside soon and will take some piccies


Nathan.

 

Shame to cover those bricks!...A bit of hard jointing and repointing would be much better
And it would show off those figs a treat!

 

Do ABW do Smooth render for walls?

Figs look great mate are they ones that will be ready for next year?

 

Those will be ready this year, they grew onthe plant last year. Later in the season there will be tiny 'buds' where the leaves join the stem which will be next years'.
