Did they massacre our boy?
We have a fig tree that was out of control, growing into our utility lines, impossible to maintain, probably 2 stories high but, of course, gorgeous. I posted about it here once before and folks recommended extreme pruning, some even suggested cutting to the ground and starting over. We had an arborist come by and recommended cutting the main trunks to 8 feet, so late this winter I had that work done. Needless to say, it was a pretty jarring transformation. My husband and the kids hate it and keep saying how ugly it is now, but I know it will grow back and fill in pretty quickly. Anyway, I just need someone here to tell me I did the right thing because at the moment I feel like I killed a family pet or something, the way everyone is reacting. I'm sure the neighbors hate it too. Also, if anyone has tips about next steps, as far as choosing which new growth the cut back and which to leave, I welcome any advice!

3 weeks of growth on this rooted cutting!
Can’t wait to move it outside and maybe get a fig by the fall👀 it’s been doing so well. I’m trying my best to let the soil dry out between waterings. I’ve been watering with diluted fertilizer with every watering. Also it’s under grow lights and has a fan on it.

Your sign not to give up on your cuttings
Planted this fucker in early January. Finally shows some signs of life. Idk if it has roots, so it's obviously not clear that it will survive, but at least it's doing something

TheFigHunter
I just recently purchased some fig cuttings from
TheFigHunter. I placed my purchase on March 20th, and still have not received any notification other than a shipping label has been created.
I have emailed, messaged, and called. Sent messages on social media and have not gotten a response on anything.
Has anyone else had similar issues with this provider in the past?
I am starting to think about submitting for fraud through my cc.

New Fig Owner
TLDR; Hey yall, a couple of weeks ago I went to Lowe's and got a few plants. My first spring at this house and I was wanting to start it off right. One of the acquisitions was an Olympian Fig. I'm a beginner to owning plants in general. Figured it'd be a good idea to attempt to benefit from yalls expertise.
The nursery pot might be a 5 gallon pot. I was planning on potting it in the next few days in the barrel in the picture. I have a few different bags of soil but after using Ai I think I'm going to try and use 80% happy frog 20% perlite. Keep it in the green house for about a week or so to give the roots some time to set in to the new pot and then slowly transition it to outdoor life as the temps get warmer. Green house is about 70-80 degrees but it can get up to 80-90 pretty easy. I think I'm going to pot it either tonight or tomorrow. Opinions, advice, criticism are welcome.

What's a fair asking price for an LSU gold tree in a 1 gallon pot started in January
Rooted some LSU Gold cuttings for myself spent about $9 a cutting after shipping. What would be a fair asking price for the rooted plant? Started rooting these at the beginning of the year so they're just about 4 months old.

Upotting to 7 gallon grow bags
I have these in 3 gallon pots. Olympian, Black Mission, and Lattarula. They were potted March 2025. I believe they were started from seed in 2024. In any case, they've been out against the west wall for about 3.5 weeks here in zone 8b. Starting to explode. I have some 7 gallon grow bags. Wondering if it is a good time to up pot them, or should I leave them alone for the rest of the season? doesn't matter to me, just looking for general advice. Thanks!!

New to growing figs and i just can't decide.
Im able to resonably able to care for two trees.
Ive narrowed down my choices to:
Violet Dauphine.
Longue d’Aout.
Constantine de Algerie.
Yellow Lebanese.
Black Zadar.
Black Greek.
info:
South missouri, zone 7b. hot, dry, humid summers. cold winters but I do have a greenhouse.
desires in order of importance:
self pollinating
1 sweet honey like & 1 deep jammy flavor
can handle humid summers
not too complicated to grow
growing space I can do pots in full sun or partial shade, they can be housed in a greenhouse over the winter, or they can be put in the ground but that seems unfavorable, we do get ice and snow in the winter.

Any ideas what might be causing this and how can I fix it.
Got this tree a little over 2 weeks ago and since bringing it home it’s the edges of the leaves have been turning brown and crispy like in the picture. Any ideas what could be causing it? It’s in a 18 gallon pot, I haven’t put any fertilizer on it and I’ve been trying to avoid over watering it.

Zone 6b fig bush Spring Care?
Looking for guidance on what to do with this verde variety bush I’ve had for 6 years. Last year I got one fig. It did not produce fruit before it got cold.
Some of these branches are definitely dead and some I can’t tell
Before I start hacking things apart, I would be grateful for any guidance on how to do this right
