Plant:
Fig

Adaptation
Grown in warmer parts of the country.
Pruning
Lightly thin out branches, and head back long shoots to maintain tree vigor and shape during the dormant season. Remove any weak, diseased, dead, or crossing twigs and branches.
Soil
Any good, deep, well-drained soil.
Water
Water deeply but infrequently.
Fertilizer
Fertilize with an all-purpose plant food.
Harvest
Harvest figs when they have fully ripened. They are ripe when the fruits bend over at the neck and the flesh is soft. Remove the fruit with the stem still attached. Wear gloves and protective clothing when picking figs to avoid irritation from the milky sap.
