Abnormal plant tissue growths often caused by fig wasps or other pests. While some galls are harmless, large infestations can weaken the tree.

Refers to Gene Hosey. One variety tied to him is Sal's (Gene).

Fig trees have been cultivated for thousands of years, resulting in a vast array of cultivars with unique traits. This genetic diversity allows for adaptation to various climates and growing conditions, as well as a wide range of flavors, colors, and sizes.

Gorgi M: Gorgi had a very large collection of figs from Malta as well as other varieties. His trees were initially identified with GM and a numbered suffix (e.g., GM-125). Later, some of his varieties were given more common names. For example, GM-172 was given the name Gozo Girl.

Joining tissue from one plant onto another so that the two sets of vascular systems grow together. Commonly used to propogate plants or to grow multiple varieties on one root system. You can find many grafting items here.

Grafting is a propagation method where a scion (a cutting from a desired variety) is joined to the rootstock of another tree. This technique is used to combine the hardiness of one variety with the fruiting qualities of another, enhancing productivity and adaptability.

Cuttings taken from soft, young growth during the active growing season. These cuttings root faster than hardwood cuttings but require high humidity and careful attention.

The exudation of a gummy substance from the bark of fig trees, often indicative of stress, injury, or disease. This condition can be a response to infections, mechanical damage, or environmental factors, and monitoring for gummosis can help in early disease detection.
