Wow, Vaseline, eh? How did you secure the foil to the trunk of the tree before putting the jelly on it? Thanks!

I boil down garlic cloves in a large pot & after it cools down I strain it into my garden sprayer that keeps all the bugs away for me

What kind of Fig tree is this.... Thank you

diatomaceous earth [food-grade] is my favorite for repelling ants as well as most other bugs.

I have a established tree ( I do not know what kind). There is a 3 foot long branch that does not produce figs except for the very end. I would like to cut that back to see if I can get branches coming out closer to the trunk. I that ok?

so today I discovered that this cute jungle looking tree that shot up from no where on the side of my house is actually a FIG TREE!!! hahah my neighbor came over a couple hours ago to let me know that the rats started getting to the figs, eating half of them, and dropping the rest onto her yard for the ants to finish up half of the tree's branches hangs over her yard. I picked one and it wasn't bad! I'm so excited now! I'm a pastry chef, so now there are so many recipes I can make now!

You should be careful about telling people they can 'cut figs down and get figs off 1st-years growth' and people should be very cautious about heeding such advice. Particularly when you don't say, and most people don't know, the variety of fig in question.
Most fig cultivars produce fruit on 2-year old wood, and there are pruning techniques availiable to maintain trees at permanant/predetermined heights. -
I can grow fig in tropical climate.

So glad I found your channel. I didn't know that you could cut the fig tree back. Mine is very spindly. It lost all its bottom leaves. It less than a year old but produced about a dozen figs. It is a Mission Fig. I was very disappointed that the figs were tasteless. Do you have any idea why that would be? I didn't pick them until they were ready to fall off on their own. Could the problem be too much water?
