Experience with UC Davis

Ok, I dug around all over the place. It seems UC Davis is the absolute main, established germplasm for fig and some other fruit types. I found the central search database for USDA/ARS where you can search for specific varieties, see if they're available for request, etc. That is here: http://www.ars-grin.gov/npgs/orders.html If anyone knows of other places to request fig scion (pay shipping or a nominal processing fee), I'd love to...

Question for Al Tapla
Published (2009-11-14 10:45:00)
If you can cover each of your fig trees with an over-turned cardboard box, with the intent of trapping the heat coming through the floor, it would help. Test that approach by checking the temperature early in the AM (before the sun is up) on a cold night both inside & outside the box. You'll see a considerable difference in temps, and the box will still breath enough to prevent things fungal. Hopefully, your trees aren't too big...

Joe I guess I'll have to make an effort to try to connect to my Italian side, I do have one. In fact I think I actually have two. My mother's mother (my grandmother) side of the family is supposedly from Italy, to France, to England (my royal blood), to the USA in the first settlement of Jamestown. Now that's far back. My father's mother (my grandmother) was also from Italian roots. So I guess I got my craving from some...

George, On a lighter note my first guess being that the tree came from Corleone, Sicily that the "M" would have stood for "Mafia" and as Pat Cooper used to say, " Mafia spelled backwards is aifam --which in dialect means hungry!!. The actual word is affamato -hungry!! Just a bit of humor. best to all Lou

Loslunasfarms: These are just beautiful results. Could you put a little more details when you say papertowel method. Did you put the cuttings in plastic bag after wrapping in wet papertowel, was the whole length covered wiith towel or the end left open, at what temperature etc, and how long were the roots when planted in the soil mixture.

thisisme -- thanks for this posting. Very interesting follow up on Ken Love project in Hawaii. Good timing as I am still considering what variants I can send my brother living in the tropics.

Sal(C) is still a rare and rather expensive fig. I have given/sold offspring off my specimen to a point of almost killing it. Very soon, plenty cheaper offerings should be available as a result of that. Not to mention other (silent) fig people that acquired it well before me (as a source). Sooo, WHY you fig people want it? Is it the "M" word?

How?! Can you provide a bit details about the rooting mix and the process/sequence you use? Some of us get skinny brown or whitish roots and only few (though the plants survive). I use 'Schultz professional potting soil plus' and Perlite (50%/50%) but can only dream of such roos.

It was probably Galbun. Galbun fits the description of the fig you mentioned (yellow/green w/pink flesh)

It doesn't matter how much light carica receives when it's dormant/quiescent in the garage. The primary trigger for dormancy is photo-period , which is basically day length, not photo-intensity, which is how bright the light is. More specifically, it is increasing periods of darkness that trigger the dormant response. Deciduous trees actually begin their preparations for dormancy around Father's...

It's a variation on the tale that ground-up crab shells will do the same thing (with "chiten" replacing "kerotin" in the story). Cladosan (sp) is a product based on this principle. We in gardening are prey to all manner of myths, tales, mediocre and overpriced products, and outright scams and it is hard sometimes to sort them out without considerable research effort.

Rafed, maybe it's a genetic thing. Somewhere deep within our bodies are genes that are triggered by some event like eating a fig or buying a tree. Ha, who knows or cares. Whatever it is I'm glad I have it. Could it be the Italian blood in me. I know it's not my English royal connection for then I'd want scones and tea. "gene"

Hi Vitto, If you mean that you are going to receive two live growing fig trees then I would definitely not place them in the refrigerator. If that is the case are they coming to you bare root or containerized? I see that you are from New York in zone 4 is that correct? If it is you most likely get some cold weather to deal with. If the plants are very young and you can keep them under ...

You overlooked the easy one, " Potting" it! Potting is good on both extreme end conditions of temperatures as well as ground soil conditions if you can provided some needed ptotection from extreme heat in summer or extreme cold in the winters.
