Fruit Tree Forum LikesFigbarron has LIKED the following:Repotting fuit trees - Figs are about the toughest of plants. I don't want to insult your trees, so please don't take this wrongly- figs make good bonsais and bonsai fig trees produce figs if they are given enough light and warmth.

Fig - LSU Gold (Cutting) 10/10 Figbarron's Edible FruitsUpdate: 872 days 16hrs Comments: - After hearing good things about this fig, i decided to get it. Planted in the same fig mix of coir, compost and potting mix and added dynamic lifter and garden lime. 3 weeks into planting it started to branch and has since produced figs which are currently growing. I will update on growth habit and fruit taste (provided it won't fall off considering its its first year). Update: Unfortunately the figs fell off due to its young age. but on a positive note, the fig tree has more than foubled in height and has branched out so next season it will be stong enough to hold figs.

Fig White Genoa (Cutting) 10/10 Figbarron's Edible FruitsUpdate: 872 days 16hrs Comments: - Saw this at bunnings and quickly snapped it up. It was purchased as an advanced tree (250mm pot) about 2 years old and about 1.2m tall. 3 weeks later it has about 16 figs growing on it. It has been transplanted in a 25L bucket in general potting mix ammended with compost, dolomite lime, sulphate of potash and dynamic lifter. I'll update on how the figs taste, size e.t.c. Update: The fruit is quite sweet, even sweeter if left for longer on the tree. The sie of the fig is around 85g in weight. The fruit are succeptible to splitting if it rains while they are on the brink of ripening. Great eating fig!

Fig White Adriatic (Cutting) 10/10 Figbarron's Edible FruitsUpdate: 872 days 16hrs Comments: - Purchased May last year from Diggers and arrived in a bad way. Started picking up in spring but it really accelerated growth in December as this variety loves hot weather. I pinched the terminal buds to change it from a single stem to a dual branched tree and in the process stimulated it to produce 3 figs. 1 fell off but the other 2 have gotten quite big. Its growing in a 300mm pot and i will update once the figs ripen on its taste and growth habit.

Dwarf Fig - Brown (Cutting) 10/10 Figbarron's Edible FruitsUpdate: 872 days 16hrs Comments: - I purchased this fig in Late November and planted it in a 300mm pot with a protting mix of 30-30-30% coconut coir, compost and potting mix and mixed with organic fertilizer and some lime. Within 3 weeks it started to produce figs as well as push new growth. I will update on the taste of the figs and and growth behaviour. UPDATE: So it has fruited! The fruit is medium size and quite sweet. The tree itself has doubled in height and still growing despite it having fruit on it. Highly recommended!
