Скачать или смотреть The Fignomenal Fig Tree - Worth It?!

The "Fignomenal" fig variety is a dwarf fig gaining popularity for its catchy name and compact growth habit. Its fruit closely resembles the well-known Hardy Chicago variety in taste, size, and resistance to splitting, humidity, and rain. While Hardy Chicago has over 100 named variations worldwide due to widespread propagation, the "Fignomenal" stands out for its slightly above-average flavor among these types, ranking in the 60th to 70th percentile. Genetic mutations and epigenetics play a role in the variety's growth and flavor, with changes influenced by environmental factors and natural mutations.

Despite being marketed as a dwarf fig, the "Fignomenal" and other so-called dwarf varieties can grow significantly taller under the right conditions or when improperly pruned. True dwarf characteristics, such as close node spacing and thinner wood, may be altered by pruning practices. While dwarf figs are often advertised as ideal for pot growing, faster-growing standard varieties are typically more productive, establish more easily, and yield heavier fruit crops in containers. The "Fignomenal" is a good option for growers seeking a low-maintenance tree, but careful consideration should be given to its growth and pruning requirements to maintain its compact size.

Variety Saturation (1:35):
Hardy Chicago figs have over 100 named varieties worldwide due to widespread propagation.
Flavor Comparison (2:42):
The "Fignomenal" variety is rated slightly above average among Hardy Chicago types for flavor.
Genetic Factors (3:49):
Mutations and epigenetics affect growth, texture, and flavor over time.
Dwarf Characteristics (4:25):
Close node spacing and thinner wood define dwarf varieties but do not limit potential maximum tree size.
Misleading Terminology (5:02):
The concept of "dwarf" in figs is not precise, as environmental factors can lead to significant growth variations.
Pruning Effects (7:03):
Pruning encourages faster and taller growth, potentially negating dwarf characteristics.
