The garden on May 16th, before the growth takes off. Info: Figs are easy to start by planting a small new branch and keeping it water for a month.

Jun 3, 2007 - Figs should live there. They will grow best if planted on the south facing wall of a building that has plenty of sun (the roots are aggressive house foundations). Once the trunk is about three years old it will stand a hard freeze of 15 degrees of a day or two. Start a new fig tree by burying a 3 foot new branch at a 30 degree angle with 6 inches above ground. Keep moist of two months and you have a fig tree. contact me for more tips.

Aug 13, 2008 - Wonderful garden. Here in Athens the squirrels eat all my figs. I'll try your method and plant a new tree and maybe they will share! My pistachio tree is 6 years old, no nuts yet. My muscadines are all vine & no fruit. I'll watch for your next video.

Jan 19, 2011 - I enjoyed seeing your garden. I've always wanted to grow a fig tree. I'm planting in 40 gallon containers this spring. At some point I'd like to put some dwarf fruit trees in containers.

Jun 3, 2007 - looking forward to the folow up...the garden looks good! I like the shower/water recycling system. would figs do well in the mountains here in western north carolina...not a particulary high elevation in macon county?
