Thread: Fruit, Nut, and Vine Grafting, Tree Propagation, Tree Care

These fig trees today are ultra super good eaters so inside the fence for the first 6 trees.

The drought here has the ground super hard but shallow watering the trees in pots is not good either. I decided I can lay a hose with a chlorine filter right on the root ball if I need to water. When planting the most important thing is to remove all the air in the hole. Flooding the hole and rocking the tree back and forth helps to express the air. I step with a little weight on these larger tree root balls burping the hole further.



If you have a known wet area you can still grow figs well just add a large enough planter to crown the dirt to the root ball. Always plant the root crown level with the grade. It needs to breathe.



Here I dug up a Celeste fig cutting quite a bit of feeder roots but by removing all the leaves and watering for a few days it will not go into shock just start rooting again.
