Fig tree care: watering and fertilizing
Fig Tree Care: Watering and Fertilization
1. Watering:
- Frequency:
- Young trees: Water every 3-4 days in the summer, especially during the first two years to establish roots.
- Mature trees: Water every 7-10 days in the summer, reducing watering in the winter (once every 2-3 weeks).
- Adaptation to Conditions: Increase watering in hot or dry weather, and reduce watering in cold or rainy weather.
2. Fertilization:
- Timing:
- Early spring (when new leaves appear).
- Midsummer (if the soil is poor, you can fertilize again with diluted amounts).
- Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter (to stop new branch growth before frost).
