Planting Fig Trees

Planting Fig Trees - In this video I plant two fig trees in my landscape and talk about growing them. FIgs trees are actually easy to grow if they are placed in the right area and planted correctly.

We inherited a mature Fig tree in our backyard, never had a fig before moving to this new house, but I'm happy it's here!

I'm going to try my luck growing my fig trees in 22" wide x 19" deep pots. Great information Jim, love your channel. Big thanks from Houston, Texas ... Javier

Jim,    I  live in Missouri in zone 6 and it gets down to zero and sometimes below zero but is rare.  This past spring I decided to plant my 4 year old Chicago Hardy in the ground so looking forward to see if it makes it.  I winterized it very good.  However, I am wanting to do the same with some other figs I have going.  I have researched cold hardy figs and found a few like celeste, texas everbearing, LSU purple, Olympian, and little ruby and wanted to know if you would plant in ground any of these fig trees in zone 6 with winter protection.   In your video you have celeste and brown turkey.

Hello sir are u planting start from the seeds?

[Prettykittychimi]

All four of our figs (different varieties including Chicago) died this year. Perhaps it was too cold and windy in western NC? They were fine the first two years we had them.

Jim,    I decided to plant my Celeste fig tree in the ground about a week ago because I thought we were past the freeze zone.   I looks like 3 out of the next 5 days it is going to dip down like 28 degrees.  Will a Celeste be ok at that temp.

I wish you would post where your are planting? which state?

Jim have you found an effective way to prevent squirrels from thieving your figs? Also, do you think it's important to incorporate our native clay soil with the soil conditioner when backfilling, or would a good DIY mix with no clay work well?

Mine have brown spots on the leaves what causes this

Great Video! My two fig shrubs died in last winter (I am in NC) but shoots came up from the ground later in the spring. They are growing fine now, but what care should be taken for winter so that I don't lose the new growth? Right now they are in a container but I want to put them in ground. When is the best time and what winter care it needs when in ground?

Only 6 foot spacing? Maybe in 7a but in 8, double that or more. Figs can get huge, too big to net if you do not prune. 😜

huh... my planted figs fruited for me after 1 year.

Hi Jim, I just planted a Chicago fig tree about three weeks ago. I've noticed that brown spots have popped up on the leafs. Do you know what this may mean? Great video. Thanks.
