Care Instructions Upon Receipt:

1. Upon arrival, carefully remove your tree(s) from their box to avoid any damage.

2. Your sunlight intensity or duration and humidity levels might be higher and lower, respectively, than mine. Therefore, it's important to harden off your fig trees appropriately if you're in the desert or considerably further South of Philadelphia.

3. After arrival, place them into the shade, saturate the soil with warm water, and lightly spritz the leaves to raise humidity. The next day, put your tree in more sunlight, raising the amount of direct sunlight hours by 3 per day until it's acclimated to your sunlight's full strength and duration, avoiding sunburn.

   
   

Planting:

• In colder growing zones (5-7), I recommend planting fig trees in the spring.

• In Philadelphia, where I am located, I exclusively plant fig trees in May or June.

• If planting outside this window, repot your young fig tree into a 3 or 5-gallon-sized pot for an entire growing season.

• Plant it outside after the last frost next spring.

You can plant fig trees at any point of the growing season in warmer growing zones (8+) with irrigation and a thick mulch covering. However, the best time to plant is when temperatures are mild (usually in the fall). Therefore, I recommend repotting your 1-gallon-sized fig tree into a 2 or 3-gallon-sized pot instead of planting it straight away.

For all other planting tips, check out the detailed guide below. It covers spacing, site selection, planting depth, preparation before planting, watering, mulching, and so much more.
