CARE GUIDE
CARE GUIDE
🌱 Planting & Repotting:
Plant in the ground in a sunny, sheltered spot or grow in a large container with proper drainage. Container-grown figs benefit from repotting every 2–3 years.
☀️ Light Requirements:
Prefers full sun—at least 6–8 hours daily—for best fruit production.
💧 Watering:
Water deeply when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Young trees need regular watering; mature trees are more drought-tolerant.
🌿 Fertilizing:
Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer to support fruit development.
✂️ Pruning:
Prune in late winter to maintain shape and encourage fruiting wood. Remove dead or weak branches.
❄️ Winter Care:
Protect the base with mulch or wrap young trees for extra insulation during harsh winters. Container plants can be overwintered in an unheated garage or shed.
📏 Mature Size:
- Height: 8–10 ft (3–3.5 m)
- Width: 6–8 ft (2–3.5 m)
