Planting: Plant any time of year in a sunny, sheltered spot. Suitable for beds, borders, or pots. Figs can grow in virtually any soil type but prefer a slightly alkaline sandy-clay soil.
Watering: Water regularly in summer. Fig trees require 2.5-4cm of water per week from rainfall or watering. Yellowing foliage and dropping leaves can indicate it needs water, but try to water every 10-14 days to avoid stressing the plant.
Feeding: Fertiliser is rarely needed and can harm the tree if not required. Only provide fertiliser if the tree shows symptoms of slow growth or pale leaves. If growing in sandy soils, you may need to fertilise annually.
Pruning: In mid-spring, remove a quarter to a third of the older branches to encourage strong, bushy growth.
Pest & Disease: Generally trouble-free. May be affected by cold weather, rotting fruits, scale insect, and red spider mite, especially if grown under glass. Birds may be a problem for ripening fruit.
Hardiness: Does not require protection from frost except in extreme circumstances, such as extremely cold winters or very exposed positions.
