SUMMARY:FIG DAY AT ROOTED IN (Free)
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 19\, 2026\n9:00 AM–3:30 PM\nFREE COMMUNITY EVENT \nRooted In\n12804 Pelzel Road\nPilot Point\, Texas 76258 \nJoin us for a full day celebrating one of the easiest\, most productive\, and most rewarding fruits to grow in North Texas—the fig! \nFig Day at Rooted In brings together local fig growers\, collectors\, propagators\, and experts for a day of rare cultivars\, practical education\, local vendors\, educational booths\, and three presentations from experienced Texas growers. \nCome to learn\, shop\, ask questions\, compare cultivars\, meet other fig enthusiasts\, or simply discover why figs are such a great fruit for North Texas gardens. \n  \n130+ FIG CULTIVARS AVAILABLE\nThis is not your typical garden-center fig selection. \nOur local small-business growers and vendors are planning to bring more than 130 different fig cultivars\, ranging from proven favorites to rare and hard-to-find selections prized by collectors for exceptional flavor\, unusual fruit\, and unique characteristics. \nExpect cultivars including Black Madeira KK\, Craven’s Craving\, Figo Preto\, Italian 258\, Smith\, White Madeira #1\, Violette de Solliès\, Coll de Dama selections\, LSU selections\, and many more. \nWhether you’re searching for a particular cultivar or choosing your very first fig\, you’ll have the opportunity to shop an extraordinary selection while talking directly with the growers who propagate\, grow\, and know these plants. \nSee below for the full list of cultivars currently expected to be available.\n  \nFREE CLASSES FROM TEXAS FIG EXPERTS\nFig Day isn’t just a chance to find a new tree. We’re bringing together experienced Texas growers to share practical information that can help you grow figs successfully at home. \nAll three presentations are FREE and open to the public. \n10:00 am\nJOHN WRIGHT — TWO DOVES BEES AND GARDEN\nThe North Texas Fig Advantage\nWhy Figs Are the Most Resilient\, Productive\, and Permaculture-Friendly Fruit Trees for Our Climate \nFigs thrive in North Texas because our climate shares many characteristics with their Mediterranean origins\, making them remarkably well suited to local landscapes. John will explore why figs excel here and introduce the concept of a Mediterranean-style fig guild—a scalable\, climate-smart planting approach that can enhance soil health\, biodiversity\, and long-term productivity. \nYou’ll learn practical strategies for planting\, protecting\, and incorporating figs into productive landscapes\, whether you’re growing a single tree or designing an entire fig-centered garden. \n11:30 am\nJOSHUA QUAST — TIMBER COUNTY FARMS\nThe Perfect Fig for You: How to Choose from Hundreds of Varieties \nWith hundreds of fig cultivars available\, choosing the right one can quickly become overwhelming. Joshua Quast of Timber County Farms will break down the traits that matter most—from flavor and fruit size to ripening season\, productivity\, cold hardiness\, growth habit\, and North Texas performance. Drawing on his experience growing and propagating a large collection of figs\, Joshua will help you narrow the choices and find varieties that fit your growing conditions\, goals\, and taste. \n1:30 pm\nBRIAN EMADI — LITTLE BEXAR FARM\nPushing the Limits: Growing Figs & Citrus in High Tunnels in Texas \nLearn how Little Bexar Farm uses high tunnels to push the boundaries of growing figs and citrus in the challenging Texas climate. Brian Emadi will share practical\, real-world strategies and lessons learned from battling extreme Texas heat\, hard freezes\, and unpredictable weather while pushing these crops to their full potential. From season extension and plant protection to irrigation and nutrition\, you’ll discover techniques that can help you grow healthier\, more productive fruit trees—whether you’re growing in a high tunnel or right in your own backyard. \n2:30 pm\nGrower Q and A Panel Discussion \nJohn Wright\, Brian Emadi\, Joshua Quast\, plus local growers/vendors \n3:30 pm\nEvent ends \nMEET THE GROWERS\nOne of the things we’re most excited about is the opportunity to support local small-business growers who are genuinely passionate about figs. \nThese aren’t simply vendors setting up tables. They’re growers and collectors who have invested years into finding cultivars\, growing them\, propagating them\, and sharing what they’ve learned. \nJoining us as Fig Day vendors will include: \nRudy Perez — Texas Raised Figs \nJohn Wright — Two Doves Bees and Garden \nJoshua Quast — Timber County Farms \nBrian Emadi — Little Bexar Farm \n  \nBRIAN EMADI — LITTLE BEXAR FARM\nEDUCATIONAL BOOTHS\nHave a question about your own fig tree?

Want to learn more about propagation\, winter protection\, pruning\, fruit quality\, or what actually performs in Texas? \nVisit our educational booths\, meet experienced growers\, ask questions\, compare experiences\, and learn directly from people who grow figs themselves. \nYou don’t need to be a collector or experienced fruit grower to participate. Beginners are absolutely welcome. \n  \nCULTIVARS AVAILABLE\nMore than 130 cultivars are currently expected from participating growers and vendors. \nAbbazia Old Mario #166\nAmarcord\nAngelito\nAzores Dark\nBanana\nBarran\nBeat Ramon\nBlack Celeste\nBlack Madeira KK\nBlack Zadar\nBonjesusa\nBordissot Blanca Negra\nBordissot Negra Rimada Reverted\nBrogiotto Nero\nBrown Sugar Crunch\nBurgan\nBzenguli Iswed\nCan Planetes\nCapoll Curt Negra\nCarrillo Unk\nCastagnat\nCastel Trosino\nCavaliere\nCDD Grise\nCDD Mutante\nCessac\nChicago Hardy\nCol de Dame Grise\nCol de Dame Noir\nColl de Dama Blanca-Negra\nColl de Dama Blanca-Negra / MP Sugar Unknown\nColl de Dama Bordissotenca\nColl de Dama Ciutat\nColl de Dama Mutante\nColl de Dama Rimada Reverted to CdD Blanc\nColl de Dama Roja\nConde\nCorio Provence Unk\nCraven’s Craving\nCrozes\nCul Noire\nCurio de Bou\nCuvert\nDall’Osso\nDe La Gloria\nDe la Plata\nDe la Roca\nDes Cos\nDolce Calderai\nEuclid Unk\nEve’s Black Cherry\nExcel\nFamino\nFayoumi\nFigo Preto\nFigoin (Bass)\nFigua Jaune\nFlanders\nGalicia Negra\nGenovese Bianco\nGinos Black\nGolden Riverside UCR\nGrise de Saint Jean\nHSK Unk\nIbiza Verdal\nIschia Black UCD\nItalian 258\nItalian Honey\nJoualle Amber\nJoualle Noir\nJuillac\nLa Bourgeoise\nLa Magdeleine\nLa Vierge\nLabritja\nLampeira 1\nLas Carreteres\nLong Yellow\nLSU Hollier\nLSU St. Gabriel\nLSU St. Gabriel Black\nLSU Tiger\nManresa\nMaroc 23\nMarot\nMartinenca Rimada\nMary Lane Seedless\nMiralla\nNero 600\nNerucciolo d’Elba\nNin Zs\nNuestra Señora del Carmen\nNV6\nOlympian\nPel de Bou\nPellegrino\nPeters Honey\nPichoto\nPopone\nProsciutto Unk\nRaspberry Latte\nRojeta\nRosselino\nSan Mateu\nSanta Claus Lane\nSat’ Emido Grotte Mario #38\nSiblawi\nSiro’s Favorite Fig\nSmith\nSt. Rita\nSweet Joy\nTC 12\nTena\nTexas BA-1\nTexas Strawberry\nThermalito\nTNT\nTurca MP\nUncle Corky’s Honey Delight\nUzun Bogaz\nVasilika Sika\nVerdino del Nord (Dan Foster)\nVince #3\nVincenzo\nViolette de Solliès\nViolette Sollies\nVista\nWhite Madeira #1\nWhite Triana\nYalta Red \nCultivars and quantities are subject to availability.
