Phil says... The one at the back looks like the fig tree - I'd say the unhealthy looking one closer to the camera is an old cherry plum, judging by the bark. Figs will fruit well with no added fertilizer, but can benefit from some manure applied in early spring. Fruit from seedling trees can often be dry - hopefully yours in a recognized variety which have the better fruit. Cut a stem and if white latex oozes out you'll know if it is definitely a fig tree. | About the Author TyalgumPhil Woodend, Vic 23rd August 2008 3:23pm #UserID: 960 Posts: 1377 View All TyalgumPhil's Edible Fruit Trees |

John I says... I'm cutting my Brown Turkey Fig tree down this weekend. The roots are staring to interfere with other plants in my garden so I'm going to take some cuttings and plant in a pot. So the plan is to use tree poison on the stump to kill the roots. I found with some conifers that I cut down that the roots can keep growing even after a couple years. When I poisoned the stumps of a couple other conifers I cut down, I found this also killed the roots. Last year I tried to root some cuttings in sand but they just rotted so I'm going to try a couple of methods. One is to root them in a ziploc bag by wrapping the cutting in moist paper and placing them in a ziploc bag on top of the fridge. | About the Author JohnI Melbourne 15th April 2010 9:45am #UserID: 1975 Posts: 248 View All JohnI's Edible Fruit Trees |
