I think most years, your climate would be better for them than mine is. I hope your next year is much better.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-8312323454386304782015-09-17T23:23:29.331-07:002015-09-17T23:23:29.331-07:00My fig report is not great.

Usually it will start rooting and then the rain will make it send out a lot of growth and become an establish plant. This yr. after I planted the rooted cutting into the ground, the seedling fried under the sun. I tried deep mulching and water almost everyday but in the hottest days I really need to water them 2X a day. The ones that didn't died is slowly declining and shedding leaves, so I have to dig them back up and re-pot them. I've seldom have to rescue them after they are in the ground. I've saved my excel fig the leaves grew back once it is back in a pot. Looks like I have to re pot several of them. I have to do the same with rose cuttings, otherwise I would loose all the hard work I put in for rotting them. I know growing figs in containers is a lot of work. I rather have them in the grounds too but here we are in the drought and you have the cold to bother them. lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657961543274999017noreply@blogger.com
