Very nicely done. I'm so ready to start my fig growing. I need more patience.
Winter is coming. I need to get everything in the ground well before they go dormant.
I used my tractor/backhoe to clear to expand the figs along the back fence this morning then used the bobcat to auger planting holes. Break Time.
Here is nice example of a fig tree I rooted this year.
I will post planted trees this evening. I also drilled two holes to set the other Pilings for the new Muscadine Trellis. My plan is 10 vines on two 100ft rows right now. I have another 100ft to put in the yard.
Poor lighting conditions for the planted tree pictures but I'm at 29 fig trees in the ground now. I think I have homes for the rest.

That’s going to be awesome when all planted.
The trees are there, the lighting is so bad you can hardly see them. Maybe tomorrow I take better pictures. I was so tired a shower and whisky drink was all that was on my mine. Next summer when I post a follow up shot it will look much better. I'm using a new tree spike that really makes a fig tree grow.
Please do follow up pics. What is the tree spike your using?

They really work. I did a test on a plot of 5 peach trees and a picture will be better than words. I will post a picture tomorrow.

I have been very successful grafting and propagating trees over the years but remembering what is what gets dimmer each year. My Pop got these stamps when I was a teenager and using them with the scrap marine aluminum permanent identity labels can be made. I just stamp in the names, drill a hole, and tie wrap the tags to the to the tree support / training stake till old enough to attach to the tree itself.
