Choosing a fig for Jacksonville FL (8b/9a)
Comments (6)I know one poster/forum member who grows "ALMA" with great success in Tallahassee, FL. in-ground. If Root-Knot Nematodes are a problem, you may want to consider containerizing your fig tree(s). I use dollies under my 20 gallon containerized trees, and just roll them from place to place. If you do containerize, you will have to feed your trees often, root-prune every 3-4 years, and replant in new soil. You can do this for decades to come, and replant into the same, or slightly larger, container. A forum search for containerized fig trees will yield hundreds of postings on this subject. Also Durio Nursery, in LA. lists figs that do well in the FL./LA. areas. If you decide to grow in a large container, and you have access to a large garage, or sheltered area free from rain, you will increase your choices of fig varieties. If you expect downpours, just roll your trees where it ain't raining. Rain is ONLY a problem when the figs start to ripen. Some fig varieties will split, and sour, when waterlogged by heavy rains. Also check out "Dan's Cajun Fig Blog" for critiques on figs that will do well in the humid/rainy South-East, US. Good luck, and hope this helps. Frank...See MoreManila Mango Tree Pruning Advice
Comments (34)Mother Nature "pugged" my Mango in 2012. Svp.You ever thought of taking off that thinner lower left branch? It would make the tree a perfect single trunk. Mine came back triple trunked...and I'm waiting for the day when cutting it to one still leaves a good sized plant. My climate is not very warm..so replacement growth is slow- compared to the rest of this board in Fla,soucal,Az. I'm in the SF bay area....See MoreSuccess at grafting mango or avocado

Comments (30)tammy - yeah.....we've had some mid 30's here in Palm Springs which is quite rare for November in the desert - this must be some artic blast we are getting! But the mangos I just planted last month are small enough that I stuck wire tomato cages over them and then plastic -mini hothouses - similar to your plastic house - didn't your hubby put that up? Don't be mad at my projecting into the future, but what will you do when your mango family outgrows the crib....or will you trim their arms and heads so they still fit the bed???? :) mangobeagle...See Morehmhausman
