Care Guide

Water Regularly in Summer

Fig trees require 11.5 inches (2.5-4cm) of water per week either from rainfall or watering. The tree will let you know if it needs to be watered by the yellowing of its foliage and dropping of leaves, although don't wait until this point to water as this will only stress it out and may produce fewer fruits. Every 10 days to 2 weeks should be sufficient
