What I Learned in the 2021 Fig Season
Channel: Ross Raddi
Date: 19/12/2021

This was probably the best fig season I've been apart of. My location had a warm spring followed by a mostly dry and warm summer followed by a dry and unusually warm beginning to the fall. Now that we are entering much cooler temperatures (especially at night) combined with our short day length that is comparable to March, I would consider this pretty much the end of the season. I did move some very late varieties to finish out the remainder of my season inside the GH today. Everything will be officially moved away for good by ~Dec 1st, so I've got about 2 months remaining for figs like BM (UCD) & Cendrosa to finish. My in ground trees are not fazed nearly as much by these cooler temps as the ground is still quite warm. I think they've got about 2 weeks of the season left. All in all I think the in ground trees have the same harvest duration as the potted trees.


While it's fresh I figured I might as well gather my thoughts on additional topics. Lets start with techniques in this video.
