The first 2 rows are full of figs even tho everything was killed back to ground level.

Cow manure composted and 10-10-10 was used at the beginning of spring.
I just mulched around all figs with pine bark.

So to those of you who I traded, purchased or just gave away...Thank you.

Behind my figs is one of my 3 small gardens.

Happy gardening.

SC Figs, I was thinking you meant Sal's Corleone fig but it isn't in your list.

Nice looking fig orchard though!  What spacing for the fig trees?

SC, South Carolina
Hey that is one I forgot.
Sal's Corleone. Its in there!

I spaced the figs at 8 feet between figs.
Plus or minus, I make sure there is good drainage vs exact spacing.
All the land was covered by brush and trees when I bought it. So I had to work with what I got.
I believe I set it at 15 feet between rows. There is one row not showing....

You are lucky you don't have a hillside covered with boulders blocking your rows.  I find boulders to be fig friendly.  I plant mine next to a boulder (if there is actually ground there).  They all go in gopher cages.  Somehow the figs find a way to get their roots under the boulder where it is damp, and I almost don't have to water.  It's all good.  Harvesting figs is another issue.  I have a hiking staff to get me down the steepness.  I put those leftover snap together plastic thingies you buy berries and cherry tomatoes in over figs starting to ripen.  Birds can't mess with that, nor can possums or coons.

Good luck with your real orchard!  To me SC means USC!  Go Trojans!
