Plant Care
Light |
Require 8 hours a day of full sun and long hot summers to produce fruit. |
Water |
Like regular water when first planted, but will tolerate drought once the tree is established. Water deeply at least once a week the first year |
Soil |
Well drained fertile soil slightly alkaline |
Fertilizer |
Young plant only needs 30g of general fertiliser once a month as soon it produces leaves. Established trees require less feeding, preferably 500g for each foot of height once at the end of winter, once halfway through spring and then a final fertilizing at the height of summer. |
Wind |
Sensitive to wind, protection cover is needed when plant is small. |
Frost |
Frost hardy variety. Fig trees need winter protection in areas where the temperatures will drop below 25 degrees F. |
Fruiting |
2-3 years. Grafted plant will be quicker. |
