🪴 How to Plant & Care

1. Soil Prep:
   Prefers well-draining, fertile soil. Add compost or aged manure before planting. Ideal pH: 6.0–7.0.

2. Planting:
   Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Place the tree so the soil line is even with the original pot, backfill, and water well.

3. Watering:
   Keep soil moist (not soggy) during the first growing season. Established trees tolerate drought but benefit from weekly deep watering during fruiting.

4. Fertilizing:
   Feed in early spring with compost or an organic fig fertilizer. Don’t overfertilize or you’ll get more leaves than fruit.

5. Pruning:
   Prune in late winter to maintain shape, encourage airflow, and boost fruit production.
