Description: This attractive deciduous garden tree offers dense shade and develops an interesting winter silhouette. Select a planting site in full sun or part shade. Ensure your tree will receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight. Morning sun is best, as it will dry the foliage off. Plant in well-drained soils, or create a raised bed to plant in. Figs need good air circulation, as well. Handle with care when planting your Fig, as their roots display some sensitivity. Take your time and gently place the root ball into your planting hole. Follow planting instructions on your order confirmation and on our website. Give young trees adequate moisture as they establish their roots into your landscape. Keep the soil moist so using a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the root system. Even after the first few seasons, you should provide even soil moisture for best fruit production. Irregular watering can cause the fruit to split. Use the Finger Test to determine when to water. Stick your finger into the soil near the plant up to the 2nd knuckle. Getting dry? Time to water. Still moist? Skip watering and check in a day or two. Black Mission Figs can be grown in containers in Zones 3 - 6. In fall, allow the plants to achieve dormancy. Once the leaves drop, you can bring them into an unheated garage or unheated porch to protect them from the cold. Figs need winter dormancy. Although this is a low chill hours variety (requiring 100 hours of low temperatures) we don't recommend that you bring containerized figs inside of a warm house. Renewal prune in spring to remove several of the thickest, oldest stems. Remove any dead wood at that time. The plant I ship is about 2 ft tall, measured from the base of the root ball. Plant is shipped without pot with root ball in a plastic bag. Pictures Depict adult plants and possible applications. Last 2 pictures in the description are ones of actual plants of this variety that I carry now and ship.
