Cape Figs

It's about time to uncover your fig trees if you covered them.

Looking back over the winter, there was an unexpectedly cold night of -7 degrees F. There may be more winter damage than in most years.

As I mulched my Fig trees heavily, if the growth above ground is dead, the tree should bounce back but may be delayed waking up.

Good luck growing figs! I will have young Fig trees available again in a few months and I may have a few Asian Pear Trees this year.

Figs are in full swing of ripening here on the cape. Here are a couple photos of some I picked.

This is a small experiment I am trying here on the Cape. I have planted 10 fig trees (7 different varieties) out in the open. I have spaced them 8’ apart in a 10’ spaced row. I will keep updates here on this account. Thanks again for following, more to come soon with figs ripening here in about a month
