We have a spring get together every year “Burke Bash” This year we had a custom cake made by a local 9yo aspiring Artist. It was wonderful sharing what we have been doing with others while enjoying the great food from our ranch with others. #family #foodporn #foodie #springtime #burkefamilyfarms #thefighunter #fighunters #fighuntersandfriends #lifeisgood https://www.instagram.com/p/CcuBN9dLZbX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

15in1 fig tree So this story starts out about how to help increase productively in zone 9b for for our Aunt and Uncle’s small fig tree. The tree is a 6 yo brown turkey that had never been pruned and the branches were causing the tree to lean. 1) we gave a it a super hard pruning back to what we want to be primary scaffolding . They want more of a bush style so this worked for the next step. 2) We grafted did 15 grafts of 14 different varieties which took awhile but the kids ran around and we visited while I did what I love to do . We used the modified cleft we show here https://youtu.be/MQCrqUUrNiY 3) We mulched using bio char from their burn pile, soil , and native wood chips this should allow the ground to stay softer for the roots to expand which we think might have been a problem. 4) We fertilized using IV Organics all purpose fertilizer . We mixed it in with the mulch and did a tea which we poured on so the bio char will absorb the nutrients to later release. 5) We install a better irrigation system. They had been using drip emitters and we installed spray sticks which will allow more water in a shorter period of time . They really worked wonders last year at our orchard. We hope this 5 method solution will work to produce a crop of figs all season long for our Aunt and Uncle. Yes it is a 15 different variety tree when you include the brown turkey rootstock. Very blessed day spent visiting and #creatingamasterpiece Oh can’t forget the treasure hunt the kids got to do and the treasure hunt I got to do finding all these different fig varieties in the wild.

TheFigHunter-0028- Royal We did nothing fancy just dip and grow then put it in a plastic bags . We left it alone for a couple weeks in a box . We love any method that doesn’t require us constant babysitting. It’s still a miracle if you ask me every time I see a cuttings start to grow roots. #homesteadlife #homesteading #growingfood #figtree #fighuntersandfriends #thefighunter #burkefamilyfarms #lifeisgood https://www.instagram.com/p/CbRuyfvOjUF/?utm_medium=tumblr

#fridayfunday we went and got another truck and trailer full of tree pots including the big 31”x31” (75 gallon) and 36”x36” ( 135 gallon) . Cant wait to start filling them with figs and soil from @kinneynursery_topsoil Then time to white wash and fertilize with products from @iv_organics This is such a huge moment for us very exciting. Well we will continue to put trees in the ground this will make it so we can have more control over our research . #homesteading #burkefamilyfarms #lifeisgood #figtrees https://www.instagram.com/p/CbRFKQXLBZK/?utm_medium=tumblr

TFH-0796-Cadhla’s Cottonwood Candy is a unique fig simply due to where and how it grows. The canopy of the mother tree twists and winds in the most whimsical way, through a large creekbed. If a Dr. Seuss tree were seen in real life, this would be it. The fruit of Cadhla’s Cottonwood Candy is reminiscent of cherry filling, but with the tartness of blackberries. Its a perfect two-bite fig, with a firm but not tough skin. #thefighunter #fighuntersandfriends #burkefamilyfarms #northerncalifornia #figs #homesteading #family https://www.instagram.com/p/CbCX0h9O10G/?utm_medium=tumblr

Well I haven’t had the words to describe how honored we are to have been chosen or how amazing to see photos of our daughters being carefree after 2020. We hope their love of growing things will be taught to their children because of their childhood experiences playing in dirt . #girlpower #smithsonianmagazine #norcalfigs #fighunters #thefighunter #burkefamilyfarms #buildingdreams #blessedandgrateful #figgrower #figpropagation #proudfather https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/california-search-for-ultimate-wild-fig-heats-up-180979538/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CabvwGbLiSh/?utm_medium=tumblr

TFH-0168-Equipment Barn while this fig doesn’t have a fancy name it more then makes up for it. TFH0168 “Equipment Barn Fig “ #EBarnfig This fig was found by #TheFigHunter growing intertwined with a #JohnDeere tractor in a lean-to equipment barn. We happened to catch a glimpse from a distance, while checking out and 1/8 of a mile long fig row. The flavor is a mix of strawberry & raspberry, but southern exposure become a more on the tart side. Thin skinned, very soft, and not overly seedy in texture. #thefighunter #burkefamilyfarms #fighunter #fighunters #figaddict #howtoplantafigtree #TheFIgHunterClub #fighuntersandfiggerfriends #homesteading Check out the video of this Fig here⤵️ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PTakJYLU2TA https://www.instagram.com/p/CXrAs36JShT/?utm_medium=tumblr
