Fig trees

[TexaRican]

When we finally find a property, figs are going to be the first thing I plant.

I had some, coons always got mine first. Deer do love them and Muscatine grapes.

I'd like them for both of us. This is the neighbor's tree at my parent's house. Doe drops those babies in the shade and she will graze 4 or 5 houses in either direction with an eye on them for hours. One snort and they are back in the forest.
Once the figs start dropping we will see both does and bucks under this tree.

Never seen a fig tree like that all the ones I have seen look like hundreds of shoots coming out of the ground

Yeah I would say the same. The figs are the same though.

My neighbors have on that hangs over the public sidewalk so I grabbed a few ripe ones the other day. I was really disappointed in them. They were not sweet at all.

Generally speaking, many of the multiple trunked fig trees are ones that grew back after freezing to the ground at some point. The single trunked fig trees are varieties that are cold hardy for the zone they are planted and did not ever freeze to the ground.

Careful though. Fig trees are addicting. just check out
figaholics.com
figs4fun.com
ourfigs.com
there are individuals whos collections include 500 varieties or more.
Some of the more sought afte varieties go for hundreds of dollars for a tiny plant or even just a cutting ( a piece of a stick) on ebay.

I just got a JH adriatic fig tree. Cant wait to taste the figs from it.

It's almost about time for figs to be ready. I've spent many hours guarding the fig trees from blue jays with a pellet gun.

How often do fig trees produce? I planted 5 trees last April that already had figs on them. Plucked them off (trying to get the tree to grow first) and figs popped right back on, did this all through summer and up until that hard freeze we had a couple weeks ago.

So do they produce non-stop from April-October/Nov? When do you pick them or how do you know they're ripe?
