Figs, Six Month Down The Road.

It had been six months since I started on Figs. After killing some (quite a lot) fig cuttings, am making some progress. I belief that planting Figs should be fun & affordable.

Postmortem of one of the death cutting, magnified 20X.

Rooting of Fig cuttings is totally new to me and I've learned a lot since then. Some of these experience are good for other plants as well. I had wiped out some of the variety that I sourced during my learning stage. Varieties like LSU Gold, Black Jack, Red Kurthmani, Bo Ji Hong, Fung Chen Huang, Turkish figs and some Portugal figs. Thank goodness I still have some figs left.

Moving forward to the next stage is to grow and keep them healthy so that I can start to propagate them.

Figs fruiting and getting bigger by the days.

Initially was thinking of aborting the fruits, but then I need to know if it can fruit.

Bigger & bigger fig.

More fig plants fruiting.

Also how's the taste, size etc. Need some photographs of the fruits too. This shall give me a chance to learn about fig pest management too. More updates when the fruit ripens.
