Our Fig Orchard
We started down the rabbit hole of collecting figs with a family heirloom Celeste variety in 2017. We acquired a Brown Turkey the same year we put the Celeste in ground- about a year later. In winter of 2019, our first attempts at propagating cuttings began, and it was a near-total failure with only three successful rooted plants out of nearly 20 attempts. We've had more failures than successes over the years, but our mini-orchard has grown to more than 60 trees of at least 40 different varieties. Many of these are potted, but we have a few established in-ground.
