At what stage or age do you permanently plant figs in ground?

I usually plant them when they have out- grown a 5 gallon container. Not saying this the rule that must be followed, but it helps in Northern climates. However, i have planted air layers in ground during July and Aug and those air layers made it just fine through the Winter with heavy protection.

Navid, So I should probably keep them in their gal. pots this season - transplant to 5 gal next spring or the end of this season and plant in ground after 2 growing seasons?

Richard,

If they are root bound in 1gallon container, I would up pot them in a 3 -5 gallon container for now. Then plant them in ground sometimes in late Aug. you have to make sure to protect them well during the winters, especially the first winter.

If the plants that you want to plant are hard-to-find, wait to plant them next year. Put them in a larger container (watch your watering- don't over water), so they establish a good rooting system.


Good luck,
Navid.
