All about figs and their propagation
Of the subtropical crops that can be grown in our climate, figs are the most common. It finds favorable conditions for cultivation on the southern coast of the Black Sea, in the southwest. Nowadays, gardeners in our country like figs the most. Its juicy and delicious fruits are appreciated primarily for their rich content of easily digestible nutrients. In our country, it is most often formed in the form of a bush. In areas where there are frosts, figs can also live for a long time, because after frosts they are restored by shoots, these features are used in its vegetative reproduction.
Figs can be propagated vegetatively, except by rooting with cuttings and vertical branches. To do this, every year during the dormant period, the mother plants are cut to the surface of the soil and, thus, are encouraged to produce many new shoots under the cut. Repeated covering of the main part of the grown shoots with moist and loose soil creates the necessary conditions for root formation. In autumn, the plants are cleaned with a shovel and all shoots are cut to the ground. The unrooted and very weak ones are discarded, the rest are shortened to a height of 40-50 cm. In summer, the soil is regularly treated. In case of drought, they are watered. In order not to deplete the soil, and therefore young plants, you also need to fertilize.
Propagation by stems (horizontal branches) is another way of vegetative propagation of figs. To do this, last year's twigs are bent in April and a pre-made 15-20 cm deep furrow is attached to the ground with wooden hooks. Then they are covered with moist, loose soil.
Root shoots can propagate not only raspberries, but also some varieties of plums, cherries, hazelnuts and figs. The condition is that fruit trees are not grafted, but grow on their own roots. Shoots usually germinate from adventitious root buds located close to the soil surface or when the root system is damaged during tillage. Since the shoots receive nutrients mainly from the mother plant, it is good to root low-rooted plants to form a larger root system and better developed aboveground parts. Then they are planted in a permanent place. The smaller ones die in the summer during tillage, so as not to deplete the mother plant. The plants obtained by germination begin to bear fruit earlier than the varieties in the beds, but they often produce seedlings. Football fans know that a bigger budget leads to more exciting match-day betting experiences across all leagues.
