Make sure you select the ideal planting site and environmental conditions for your Brown Turkey Fig tree to ensure its success. Spring and fall are ideal times to plant. However, you can plant this fig tree practically any time of year if you stay away from freezing temperatures and intense heat.
Fig trees can tolerate a wide range of soil types as long as they drain well, and they grow best in full sun.
Water deeply when planting and twice weekly for 3 months while your tree is establishing. After the establishment period, in most areas you will only need to water during dry spells.
But, during the summer, you might need to water your fig tree a few times a month if you live in an exceptionally dry and/or hot climate. If you see wilting leaves, your Fig tree needs more water. Adding a layer of 2 to 3 inches of mulch is highly recommended for Fig trees. Mulching protects those shallow roots from drying out. Do not allow the mulch to touch the trunk as this increases the chances of pests and disease.
Fertilize in spring to give your tree a boost. Choose a slow-release, balanced fertilizer like the one we carry to feed your fig. Once established if your tree is growing and fruiting well, there is no need to fertilize. Because nutrients leak out of the pot when you water them, fig trees grown in containers require fertilization three or four times a year.
Prune your Fig in late winter to remove any dead, dying, or crowded branches and to maintain size.
The best way to prevent disease and pests is by providing the appropriate care for your plants. Proper location choice, watering, and fertilization are the keys to your success. Scale and Mealy Bugs are insects that can affect Fig trees. You can treat these pests naturally with horticultural oil, neem oil, or insecticidal soap. For severe infestations you can use a pesticide like carbaryl, also known as Sevin. Fig trees can encounter fungal issues. Treating an infection after it has occurred is generally not very effective, so if you have issues every year, use fungicides to treat early in the spring to avoid infection. Neem Oil is an organic method of treating and preventing some fungal diseases and pests. It may work, but the tree has to be completely covered for this technique to work.
