Fig Plant 'Black Mission' - Live Fig Tree Starter Plant

Description: The Black Mission fig is a popular fruit tree known for its sweet, dark purple to black figs with a rich flavor. This deciduous tree is not only productive but also adds beauty to your garden with its lush, green foliage. The figs are delicious fresh, dried, or in various culinary dishes. Planting Instructions:Location:Choose a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Figs thrive in warm climates but can tolerate some cooler temperatures. Soil Preparation:Ensure well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Figs prefer slightly alkaline to neutral pH. If your soil is heavy clay, consider amending it with compost or sand. Planting: Spacing: If planting multiple trees, space them about 15-20 feet apart to allow for growth.Depth: Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Gently place the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.Watering:Water the tree deeply once a week during dry spells, especially in the first year to establish roots. Once established, Black Mission figs are somewhat drought-tolerant. Fertilization:Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and fruit production. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can promote leaf growth over fruiting. Pruning:Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or overcrowded branches. This helps improve air circulation and fruit production. Harvesting:Figs typically ripen in late summer to early fall. Harvest when they are soft and slightly droopy, indicating ripeness. Enjoy them fresh or dried! With a little care, your Black Mission fig tree can provide delicious fruit for many years! SATISFACTION GUARANTEED.
