Start Figgin!: Beginner's Guide On How To Grow Fig Trees (Ficus carica)

To the point information to know how to grow fig trees.Short read. Minimal fig tree varieties mentioned but encourages you to further explore the fig world.

Small book of basic fig lore about growing them. That is ALL.

Well written and concise; well organized and a good overview for beginners who are looking to start growing figs at home.

Very basic info, shares bias towards the environment and no numbers on the pages? You pay for what you get. I got it quickly, that is why I gave it a 3.

This booklet provides an overview of how to grow figs. The author was well organized and covered the basics of growing, pruning, overwintering, and propagating figs. Informative.

Good deal of information without getting complicated without in depth scientific terminology. .

My grandma grew figs for decades and I'm hoping to renew the crop. Ordered two LSU purples and am preparing now to plant them outside. This little book is all I needed to feel confident moving forward.

I just bought 6 fig trees in February. I was excited to learn about growing fig trees. I regret spending money on this book.It's less than 7,500 words. Less than 62 pages with a LOT of white space on every page, most have less than 120 words. Some pages are just bulleted lists with less than 75 words on the page. The last 6 pages are a list of fig varieties and a paragraph describing each - exactly like you'd find on any tree nursery's web site for free. Reading this book is like reading a wikipedia article in one sitting. Actually, wikipedia might be more informative.You'd be better off reading a couple of articles on a gardening blog for free.Not convinced? Go look at the other books written by this "author": several written in the 6 month period at the beginning of 2020. All short. Several having to do with basic gardening. I suspect this was published by someone using a pen name as part of a self-publishing business where the publisher hires a ghost writer for a few hundred bucks to pump out a generic description of the topic. Save your money, and instead go read a few blogs or articles or watch a couple of videos on figs and you will get the same info in less time and for less money. I feel like I wasted 9 bucks. Maybe I can use the paper for compost.

Very informational and helpful. Sandra

This is a general and introduction book about growing figs. It presents the main topics about figs in an easy way (n.b. well written) but does not contain any graphics.
