Figs are a sweet and juicy fruit. The tree prefers warm weather and plenty of sunlight.

How to grow figs

To plant a fig tree, choose a sunny, draft-free place in the garden.

For best harvest, you can place the plant's roots in a large container.

The point is that limiting root space helps reduce leaf growth and helps produce more fruit.

It is also important to prune the tree twice a year.

This will help you maintain a stronger plant and improve fruit production.

In addition, the yield of a fig tree is affected by watering, fertilizing and winter protection.

How to care for a fig tree

Water your fig tree regularly.

If there is not enough water in the soil, the plant may drop fruits or leaves.

Increase watering during periods of extreme heat and drought.

You can also use compost or well-rotted manure mulch to retain moisture in the soil.

Watering too frequently can also be harmful.

Therefore, do not grow the tree in soil that is too wet.

The roots of the plant may rot because of this and not receive nutrients from the soil.
