What's going on gardeners? What if I told you that you only had to grow two fruits in your yard and you could have nonstop harvests six months a year. And what if I told you these are the easiest trees I grow in my entire yard and the most delicious as well. It's true. And here's the crazy thing. Most of you have never tried them because they are almost impossible to find in grocery stores. But we need to change that. Because once you taste these spectacular fruits, it will change your life forever. Fruit number one: Figs. The fig tree. What makes fig trees so spectacular is you can have 20 different fig trees, and all of the fruits could not only look dramatically different, but taste dramatically different as well. That is why fig tree collectors are some of the most obsessed fruit tree collectors on earth. All figs are so very different. Fig collecting is the first type of plant collecting I have ever gotten into. I have been collecting fig trees for literally a decade. I have over 100 varieties of fig trees that I am actually growing from seed as an experiment. They're planted all over my yard and I just can't get enough of them. But what truly makes fig trees unique and spectacular is how rapidly they grow and fruit. For most fruit trees, you'll have to spend $50 to $100 for a grafted tree, plant it and you won't get the fruit off that grafted tree for about three years. And if you grow from seed, that could take a decade. But what makes fig trees so unique is you can buy a fig tree cutting online for $20, root it yourself, grow it throughout the winter, plant it after your last chance of frost in April or May, and the tree will be 6 to 8 feet tall and producing figs by September of that same year. Fig trees are a temperate fairly cold-hardy tree and they can be grown in ground in hardiness zones 6 through 10 plus. In cold winters, the fig tree will die down to the ground, but then they resprout from the roots and still grow really tall and produce figs on it. This tree right here died back to the ground because we had a really harsh winter, and it's still producing plenty of figs on it. But they grow really spectacularly well in containers. A lot of growers in zones 4 and 5 just grow them in large pots and then they overwinter them in their garage or basement and just bring them out in advance of spring. But the greatest thing of all is the harvest window. Because figs have such incredible diversity in their gene pool, they range anywhere from extremely early to extremely late. So you can be theoretically harvesting figs from late June all the way into October, possibly even November if you get really late frosts. This variety right here is called Ronde de Bordeaux. It is growing in a container and it is the earliest variety that I own. I've been picking figs off Ronde de Bordeaux since the middle end of June. That is insanely early. And it's why there aren't too many figs left on the tree. They put out a small to medium sized berry fig with a molasses, raisin flavor. It's a very high quality and delicious fig. It's a great start if you want something very early. Next up is Celeste. Celeste is probably the most popular fig grown in the Southeast because not only is it one of the earliest known figs, but it is the most rain resistant of the known popular varieties. And for that reason, I reserved a prime spot in my front yard for this incredible Celeste fig tree. And let me tell you, it is loaded with beautiful small delicious figs that taste just like brown sugar. This fig is a very high quality and delicious fig. It's a great start if you want something very early.
