You can't grow a fig tree from a fig branch, can you? If so, how?
Comments (4)In the search blank at the top of the page of the Fig Forum type in (rooting cuttings). You should get enough reading material to last awhile, and it will tell you numerous ways you can use the branch to form new fig trees, even after you have cut it off the tree. The airlayering, as suggested by leon on the post above this one, is done while the branch is still on the tree, and is one of the better and surer ways to propagate fig trees........See MoreAnyway to save the broken branch?
Comments (8)You can probably use elmers school glue after wrapping it tighly wiith something to hold it in place a large cut rubber band... but I would say from my experience it is wishful thinking you can repair it...or to put it more bluntly it would be a snowballs chance in you know where it will make it. And even if you get that lucky it will be a weakened point that will probably be both stunted and subject to damge from the elements.and may look worse than just letting it grow out and trimming to shape..but good luck it never hurts to try ...just prepare yourself for likely failure...

Comments (11)I'm not sure I'll be much help on this subject since I'm just now decluttering and reorganizing my home. Here's a few little things I'm doing: Since I don't have a regular pantry (I'm going to make one somewhere, someday--lol) I keep all breakfast items in one drawer, like instant oatmeal, grits, hot chocolate, etc. So, I know in a glance what I need and don't buy extras. I just tear off the top of the pkg. and set the whole thing in the drawer. I also keep my ironing supplies on one drawer---irons, spray starch, etc. I actually had to buy a second iron because I couldn't find the first one---before I organized! I took all on my junky paper and cut it into note size, put it in my desk drawer. If I have pretty junky mail, or envelopes, I cut them up to use as gift tags or small note cards. I hate frying bacon, so I bake it now on a rack. It's healthier and I don't have to spend so much time at the stove. I actually baked a pkg. this morning, used it all at once---now, we have bacon for tomorrow. I don't have very many closets, so I'm using decorative tins and hatboxes (I went thru a hatbox-making phase a few years back) for storage of sewing and craft supplies, and anything else that I can't find a place for!!! LOL These things hold a lot, so I may not have to buy any shelves. In my foyer area, I have a narrow table with a mirrow above it. I just cleaned out that drawer in the table----I have a place for car keys (his & hers), gloves, hairbrush, and glasses. Since I wash my hands a zillion times a day, I keep either an old dish detergent bottle or shampoo bottle with soap, water (*and now hand lotion or baby oil mixed in) under the sink to wash hands with. I just saw a Dr. on Tv say that if you wash your hands too much and they're dried out, germs can enter your body thru the cracked dry skin EASIER!! They were talking about the flu viruses. He actually said that rubbing your hands back and forth, creating friction, would kill germs on your hands!! Rub your hands, rub your hands!!!!!!...See MoreMy avocado tree has fungi on branch and bark - can it be saved?
Comments (19)Well, it might take a couple/few years but from what I've read, these trees are tough. You have a very well established root system with a tree like that so it might take a little structure pruning along the way to develop good form. Usually when a tree comes back from the stump, the growth tends to be on the wild side with long shoots and huge leaves, but I'm not an Avocado tree guy so can't really say for sure. Usually with structure pruning is you just keep an eye on the growth each year and do a little clip here and there so the tree assumes nice form. What that is for Avocados idk. Good Luck! :o)...See Moredjacob Z6a SE WI
