Potted 25 Rooted Fig Cutting
This afternoon I thought about the fig cuttings I started a while back. Seems the ones I poked holes in the bag are drying out too quick. I pulled and potted 25 rooted cuttings and all were very lite weight.
As a experiment I didn't poke holes in a bunch of Turkey fig cutting just to see if they would rot before rooting. Rot & Root is a bit too close a words for me, one is a terrible outcome the other fantastic. So far the Turkey Cuttings are looking good.

I haven’t poked any holes in the bags on my cuttings yet. Thanks for sharing this information.

Only thing I've grafted is pecan. Get the native pecan saplings from the county tree give away. After they've grown a few years collect limbs from Stewarts and Mayhan for grafting. The trees were small but growing well when I had to move 5 years ago. I may drive by soon to see how they look.

Update to the Fig Pop Fig Cutting Rooting
I checked the tubs and found more rooted Fig Cuttings. As Fig Pops are removed from the tubs more Fig Pops are made and placed in the tubs. At some point I will switch to rooting in pots as the outdoor temperatures stay consistently warmer.
These 6 were potted and 6 cuttings I stuck in a Citrus container all rooted so they were potted too. I'm up to 44 new Fig Trees now.

Planted Replacement Peach Trees Killed in Late Freeze Last Year
I have been bringing in my trees from California with semi-dwarf rootstocks but when it comes to peaches here the standard rootstocks grow much better. Vigor in Peach Tress growth is always desirable as it increases disease resistance.
I pruned the new trees back to the scaffold branches. More pruning is needed but I will keep the undesired limbs from taking growth energy away from the scaffold limbs.

More Evidence November Feeding of Citrus Works
I feed my Citrus & Pecans in November. Both overwinter strengthening their energy and carbohydrate reserves causing a growth explosion when the time to grow comes.
All that vigor is boosting the bloom production so we will need to thin fruit. Citrus tree owners tend to allow their trees to over produce stressing the tree. We will thin the set fruit to make larger fruits and prevent excessive tree stress. If you stress a citrus tree too much it will go to a every other year producer. You don't want that.
We thinned the Rio Red Grapefruit a little too hard so what fruit was left is Monstrous.

Sticker KILLER!
If you have stickers in your yard it's getting time to kill them before the seed forms. This product is the best I have found for ridding your yard of stickers. Cut the grass low before applying for the best results. The chemical must land on the plant to kill it.
