Cultural instructions:
- Plant on arrival in a sheltered, sunny position - a warm, south facing site against a wall is ideal
- Figs prefer a moisture retentive, fertile, well-drained soil that is slightly alkaline
- Prior to planting fig trees, incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole
- Figs have a vigorous growth habit but can be restricted by constructing a 60cm (23.6") square, open bottomed brick or concrete pit around the root system
- Add a 15cm (5.9") layer of broken stone to the base of the pit
- Alternatively, plant figs in large patio containers using a well drained compost
- When growing fig trees in containers they should be re-potted every two years
- If figs are to be wall trained, install support wires prior to planting
