Author Garden: Figs jgeoff Garden Helper Member # 5754 posted                       Anyone know how I can get fig trees growing from fresh figs? Hurry, before I eat them all! My Italian grandfather used to grow fig trees many years ago, and I thought it would be neat to try starting one myself. I know they're a lot of work to overwinter here in NJ, but I thought it'd be a neat experiment...

Member # 1345 posted                       you start them from cuttings.their are some that are easier to grow for you than me as container plants.Brown turkey would be a good one for you to try as a beginner.you could try searching the nurserys around you or lowes& are a few mailorder places that sell fruit trees. and I'd try growing in a 10 gallon contaienr.you'd start out smaller,but work up to a 10 gallon.it would be manageable to move,but if got a good back& a dolly well go for larger then. * * * * I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want! http://community.webshots.com/user/njoynit03 http://community.webshots.com/user/njoynit http://photos.yahoo.com/njoynit03 Plants: 2209 | From: SE TX`in the yard somewhere most likely | Registered: Jul 2003  |  Seeded: 4.253.24.95 jgeoff Garden Helper Member # 5754 posted                       Thanks for the reply! Yeah, the more I read about growing from seeds, the more unlikely it seems... I'll have to see if the Black Mission figs from Cally are even viable... In my preliminary research, I had no idea that a ficus was a fig tree. That's the newbie I am! * * * * First Year Pepper Grower : Habanero, Red Chile, Jalapeno, Cayenne, Hot Banana, Hot Cherry, Tabasco, Thai, Giant Serrano, Peter, NM Big Jim, Arbol Plants: 19 | From: NJ - Zone 7A | Registered: Jun 2005  |  Seeded: 68.39.146.42
