Kumquat :From seed to fruit in one year?
Comments (46)Actual measurements on the smallest Meiwa tree give me between 7.5 feet to 8 feet of total linear twig branch, and trunk growth. It has put out a total of 6 flowers with 2 forming fruits on 1 branch of the tree. There are 2 more flower buds on a different trunk of the tree. This makes # 7 and 8 for this tree. I tried measuring the linear twig and trunk length of my largest Meiwa. I gave up but guesstimate over 20 feet. Heights from soil surface. 17", 23", 24", and 26".

Comments (15)Herman I still need help. I have 4 varieties I planted outside and I am planning to use Xmas lights to protect it in freezing weather. But I am also intrigued with your method and I don't want to leave a stone unturned in my endeavor to have delicious ripe figs. I decided to add two varieties and plant it using your method. Italian Ever-bearing 3 Gallons 4 feet : What Size a pot should I use. Celestial 1 Gallon 1 1/2 feet: What size a pot I should use. How many holes in the pot side and should I use specific pattern to make the holes or any thing goes. In winter time they go into my basement where the heat unit, the hot water unit and the Washer and Dryer reside. I think the room environment will be suitable because temperature never goes below 55. Inside the house in winter season should I give it any water. Appreciate your help....See MoreNew Jersey Fig trees,will produce ripe fruits,only if ....
Comments (56)I live near Haddonfield, in Camden county, NJ and am trying my hand at growing figs for the first time this year. I got one tree (variety unknown - maybe Celeste?) at a local farmer's market last September. Per instructions I left it outside 'til the leaves fell and then wintered it over in the basement - but it started growing! Anxious to get it in the ground I made the mistake of planting it in the side yard (western exposure) in early April. We'd had some quite warm weather that fooled me into thinking spring had come early. It had not. The tree suffered terribly in a windstorm with sustained winds over 40 mph and the snow that hit a week later. losing all its leaves and killing the growing tips of all the shoots. The good news is that the tree sprouted new shoots from four of the five "trunks". It is now doing just fine and enjoying a bit of a growth spurt, although I'll be surprised if it yields any fruit this season. Today I purchased a second fig tree. This one is a Hardy Chicago from Lowe's. I put it into a 12" plastic pot where it will stay for at least the first year or so. I plan on bringing this one into my enclosed but unheated porch next winter. A friend and neighbor also has a fig tree of unknown variety that has survived one winter outdoors. I'll try and get a cutting or two from her to plant next year. I look forward to seeing which one performs best for me....See MoreAe Ae Fruit Getting Ripe
Comments (7)Mine flowered the second week of June and were plumping up nicely until Hurricane Ike came through in Sept. The winds bent it over in the middle. I was hoping that the break was not fatal but within a week, I noticed that the fruit began to turn yellow. I just finished eating my last one. The above poster, Rayandgwen is correct in that you need to let them get very ripe before eating them. I thought they tasted real good, with a slight lemon taste. I cut the rest of the truck down a week ago and now have 6 pups. Steve...See Moreponcirusguy6b452xx
