When is the best season to plant figs?

Fig Planting Season and Time

Fig cultivation season: Figs mature in early July in the south and early November in the north. Figs mature at different times depending on the region of cultivation. Figs mature earlier in the south than in the north. Fig trees are easy to cultivate in the south and produce a large amount of fruit. They begin to bear fruit 2 to 3 years after planting, and enter the fruiting period 6 to 7 years later. The yield increases year by year.

Common fig varieties include Bojihong, Blanrick, Jinnuofin, Qingpi, Masiyi Peach Powder, etc. Most of these different varieties inherit the nature of figs, that is, they are best in spring.

Fig harvest season

Figs mature from July to November and are sold in batches. Figs bear fruit as soon as they are planted. With proper management, the yield per plant can reach 2 kg and the yield per mu can reach 500 kg. After three years, it reaches the high-yield period. At this time, the yield is generally over 1,000 kg.

Fig planting steps and methods

1. Division

Figs can be propagated by root seedlings. In the spring and autumn seasons suitable for cultivation, dig out the root seedlings around the mother plant and plant them separately. Plants that can grow root suckers are generally easier to feed.

2. Layering

Layering propagation is generally carried out in spring when the leaves are not growing. Choose branches with relatively strong branches, pull them horizontally, bury them in the soil, and expose the noddle heads. When the branches take root or grow to the appropriate position, they can be cultivated separately.

3. Cuttings

Make a horseshoe-shaped insertion, soak it with carbendazim and root powder, insert it into the substrate, expose 3 to 5 cm and the bud point, insert the roots, and when it grows to an appropriate height, it can be cultivated separately.

Figs can also be grown in pots. For pure viewing, the size of the pot does not matter. If you want to enjoy the plants and want to eat more figs, it is recommended to make the pot as large as possible. Therefore, these plants grow very strong. A slightly larger pot.
