New Fig Trees.

Given to me. I’ll have to find out.

I had a very mature tree when I moved into my house in 92 and it got some sort of issue with holes in the bark, mealy looking wood in the trunk etc. so I cut it down to the ground a year ago since it had a lot of fresh growth coming up from the ground and they were in excellent health.

Long story short, my fig tree is now 8 ft. tall and about 1/3 the size of the original, but all the growth is very healthy and it is now full of figs that will be ripening in a few weeks time.

At its peak, I was picking over 2,000 figs over a 3 week period in July, but it dropped of big time when the trees old growth got diseased.

Good idea. Pizza was one of the first things we did. Salads also good (with prosciutto and the other ingredients you listed).

Tried a gin cocktail with fig syrup but it was just meh

Damn figs are the only thing I can’t seem to grow. Had an LSU purple at my previous house, nursed it along for several years and then Katrina killed it. Tried again with an LSU Gold, it never produced. (Think both were in a bad spot, previous owner had an above ground pool & likely bad soil in that location.)

Moved, and I tried again: Brown turkey fig, planted in my side yard/orchard, along with about six citrus trees of various types, five arbequina olives, a pomegranate, and a bay laurel. Everything has done great except for the fig. It got twisted around by one tropical storm, so it no longer had a main trunk & was really a multiple trunk shrub. Then the birds would get every single damn fig before I could....so I dug it up at the tail end of winter & planted a lime tree in its place. Lime already has fruit on it. I need a neighbor with a fig tree.....

as to rooting cuttings it couldn’t be easier.

score the end of the cutting with a sharp knife, paint with rooting hormone, stick in a pile or bucket of bark mulch and keep moist. If you do this in the early winter you will have a rooted, sprouting cutting in the spring
