Consejos de cultivo

Figs have a very short post-harvest life (2-3 days fresh); plan for immediate sale, drying, or processing at harvest time.

In cold climates, plant figs against a south-facing wall and wrap with insulation in winter; root-hardy to about -12 C.

Avoid excess nitrogen fertilization, which promotes vegetative growth and delays fruit ripening.
