For certain regions of the country, or if you have extra space, Brunswick is an excellent tasting and extremely prolific fig variety! For Northern growers, it should be noted that Brunswick is also one of the winter hardiest of fig varieties.

    • @loumonti10
      @loumonti10 5 дней назад

      @vtec18c Hi there! No. They are certainly very similar to one another, but they do have some rather well established differences. I have never grown Rouge, but from the information that I've been able to gather over the years, and from my friend Daniel Yakir, apparently, Rouge is a bit more of a sugary fig, and it has a deeper purple color than Pastiliere. They are on record of having different countries of origin as well, but personally, I wouldn't hold that point to havinging much significance. I believe that Rouge is considered to be a French fig and Pastiliere of Italian origin. I'm not certain, but that's my recollection. Regards from Lou Monti

    Hi Lou, I'm a new fig grower, I always watch your videos and try to follow your advises. I have an issue with my Dalmatie potted fig tree. It is only 2 years old but I had a decent breba fig this year, then all of my main crop figs are not ripening well. I mean, they looked wonderful then they start to swell and become very soft and spongy mainly on the eye-end but then they drop and they are still white inside with some brownish color near the eye.. what do you think the problem could be?

      @loumonti10 16 дней назад

      @roccoconte2960 Hi Rocco! Thanks for watching! Well, as a grower yourself, I'm sure that you've developed a second sense with regard to evaluating proper watering. Still, even for experienced growers, it's not unusual to lose track of certain trees & plants and sometimes under or over water them. It's very important to try and concentrate on the watering process. I have a rain gauge, and I often write notes and record how much rainfall there has been, when it rained, and every time that I water my trees, as well. With my container plants, I constantly monitor them and personally lift them up a bit off the ground so that I can accurately determine whether they need water or not. I try to let them dry out sufficiently between waterings so that they aren't subjected to root rot and other diseases associated with over watering. I'm constantly mindful of the harmful effects of under watering, too! The monumental importance of proper watering is absolutely imperative for successful gardening, and this is one thing about which I am absolutely certain!!! Regards! Lou Monti
