picture of my fig tree

15 years ago

Hi, I am Mani Nair from Mumbai, India. I have a fig tree growing in a container and since two years it is giving fruits. I thought I should share the photos with all of you. The fruits are very sweet. I do not put any fertilizers , only occasionally i put wastes like dead leaves, flowers, and banana peels -rest work are done by the earthworms. Below is the picture of the fig tree with figs.

Thanks

Mani.

Like many fruits figs pause in growth for a while. Then they swell and ripen in a fairly short time. I leave them hang and dry as long as possible. That may not be possible outdoors.

Both the kadota and the brown turkey were no more than 8 inch "fig sticks" as my wife insists on calling them, mostly bare with about three leaves low on the branch with numerous budding growth on the upper parts of the branch. In the few days that they have been in the ground they appear to be doing well and are exhibiting tons of new growth. There were only about 4 or 5 figs mixed in with ALOT of blueberry and grape vine 'sticks'. Chris

The leaves fall off because of rust. The air is just too humid in Houston. With all the rain, the problem is even more so this year. There is milky sap on the stem end when you pick the fruit because the fruit is not fully ripe yet. If you bought the trees at a nursery in Houston, there is not telling what you have. I say this with lots of experience. The more popular varieties around the Houston area are Celeste, Kadota, Alma, and Brown Turkey. You already said they do not turn brown, so we can eliminate BT. If your fruit stays yellow, then I would tend to agree with everyone else and say Kadota (or one of its variants). If your tree has tinges of golden brown, it is probably Alma. The fruit on your tree does not appear to be the same size/shape as the Celeste variant that seems to be everywhere in Houston. If you live close to the Clear Lake area, I can direct you to where a Celeste, an Alma, and a Brown Turkey live and hang over a fence in public view. You could go to those locations to see what they look like and what stage of development they are in. ~james

Thanks Americanfigboy and bonsaist. I just cut the banana peels and other vegetable wastes into small pieces and put in the container where the fig tree is growing. Within two weeks it turns to compost. The excess vermicompost I put in other plants. The full credit goes to my earthworms. I just put some water in the morning and some talking to the fig tree. That's all.
Dear Bonsaist, glad to know you are from India. I bought this plant from Bhilad, near Vapi, Gujarat. It is the same fig which we get from our market.

Mani,
I have to admit I'm not Indian, I'm glad to see figs thriving in india though. Please post pictures when the fig is ripe, I'm wondering if it's similar to any figs we grow in the states.

Dear bonsaist, how you manage to write in Hindi? I think your friend is from India. Figs thrive in India mostly in Maharashtra, Karnataka where the rainfall is not very high and also where winter is mild. My fig is the one which is available in our Indian market and is different from the which grown in States. The figs are sweet when ripened on the tree. The tree attracts lots of fruit eating birds like bulbul,mynas etc. Yesterday when I tried to pluck one fruit it fell down and got spoilt because we are staying on the fourth floor of the building. I will send a picture when the figs are ripe.
