Prune the winter damage off of your figs. They will have a better and healthier growing season because of it. It was a rough winter for many, but figs grow back quickly.

I just uploaded a video to my YT channel with some of my favorite figs of the year. I have to split it in to 2 videos to keep if from being long, but I mention and talk about 18 different fig varieties in part #1. Let me know some of your favorites of the year in the comments. It includes a few hundred photos, all from my orchard in 2025.

I'm rooting some cuttings today off of one of my most beautiful trees. It is my Variegated Martinenca Rimada. This originally grew as a mutation on my Martinenca Rimada mother tree about 3 years ago. It puts out some crazy looking branches that usually have some variation of a 1/2 light yellow and dark green, or just leaves that are different shades of yellow and green.

I am curious to see what the rooted trees turn out to be this year. Last year I rooted 3 cuttings off this tree, and 1 turned out with the same full variegation, 1 turned out with strongly variegated wood (but not leaves), and the 3rd didn't look like either

Today I was out in the orchard working on the winter protection for some of the fig trees that were put in ground this year, incase we see some real low temperatures next week.
