Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Fig Tree Orchard Pack

Fig Orchard Pack Planting and Care Guide

Figs (Ficus carica) are a beloved fruit tree known for their sweet, honey-like flavor and ease of care. A Fig Orchard Packtypically includes multiple fig trees, offering a variety of flavors and ripening times to extend your harvest season. Figs are a great addition to home gardens or small orchards, as they are relatively low-maintenance and can thrive in a range of climates. Here's how to plant and care for your fig trees.

1. Planting Instructions

  • Location: Choose a sunny spot with full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily). Fig trees thrive in warm, sunny climates and are best suited for USDA zones 7-10. In colder zones, they can be grown in containers and brought indoors during winter or protected with heavy mulch.
  • Soil Preparation: Fig trees prefer well-draining soil but can tolerate various soil types, including loamy, sandy, and slightly clay soils. A slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal. Amend heavy clay soil with organic matter, such as compost, to improve drainage.
  • Planting Hole: Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth. This will give the roots plenty of space to spread. In the case of multiple trees from an orchard pack, plant them 10-20 feet apart to allow adequate airflow and growth space.
  • Planting: Place the tree in the hole, making sure the root ball is level with or slightly above the soil surface to prevent settling. Backfill with soil, firming it gently around the roots to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the tree, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk. Mulching helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

2. Care Instructions (Establishment Period)

  • Watering: Water deeply after planting and keep the soil consistently moist (but not waterlogged) during the first growing season. Fig trees need regular watering, especially during dry spells or hot weather. Water once or twice a week, depending on rainfall and temperature. Once established, figs are somewhat drought-tolerant but will produce better fruit with consistent moisture.
  • Fertilizing: Fig trees generally do not need heavy fertilization. If your soil is poor, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) in early spring and again in mid-summer. Be careful not to over-fertilize, as too much nitrogen can result in excessive leafy growth at the expense of fruiting. Organic alternatives like compost or well-rotted manure also work well.
  • Monitoring: Watch for any signs of stress, such as wilting leaves (which could indicate underwatering), or yellowing leaves (which may point to overwatering or poor drainage). Fig trees are resilient but benefit from consistent care in their first few years of growth.

3. Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  • Pruning: Prune your fig trees in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the tree’s shape and promote good air circulation. For the first few years, focus on training the tree’s shape, especially if growing in a limited space. Pruning also encourages better fruit production by allowing sunlight to penetrate the canopy.
  • Pest and Disease Control: Fig trees are generally pest-resistant, but common pests include aphids, scale, and fig beetles. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to manage infestations if necessary. Keep an eye out for fungal diseases, like rust or leaf spot, which can be minimized by ensuring proper air circulation and avoiding overhead watering.
  • Cold Protection: In colder zones (below USDA zone 7), fig trees can be damaged by frost. To protect the trees, apply a thick layer of mulch around the base in late fall. For added protection, wrap the tree in burlap or frost cloth, especially young trees that are more vulnerable to cold damage.
  • Harvesting: Figs typically ripen in late summer to early fall, depending on the variety. The fruit is ready to pick when it becomes soft, droops slightly, and changes color (depending on the variety). Figs do not continue to ripen once picked, so harvest them at their peak ripeness. Enjoy them fresh or preserve them by drying or making jams.

4. Container Growing (Optional)

If you’re growing your fig trees in containers (especially if you're in colder climates or have limited space), follow these extra tips:

  • Container Size: Use a large container, at least 18-24 inches in diameter, with drainage holes. Fig trees have extensive root systems, so providing adequate space is key.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a mix of compost, sand, and perlite. Avoid heavy soils that retain too much moisture.
  • Watering: Container-grown figs dry out faster than those planted in the ground. Water when the top 2 inches of soil feels dry. During hot weather, you may need to water daily.
  • Mobility: If growing in containers, move the tree indoors or to a protected area during winter, especially in regions where temperatures drop below freezing.

5. Varieties in Your Fig Orchard Pack

Depending on the types of figs included in your orchard pack, you may have a mix of early, mid, and late-ripening varieties. Common fig varieties include:

  • Brown Turkey: Known for its large, sweet fruit with purplish-brown skin and amber flesh. It's a heavy producer and ripens in late summer to fall.
  • Chicago Hardy: As the name suggests, this variety is known for its cold tolerance and produces medium-sized figs with dark skin and sweet flesh.
  • Little Miss Figgie: Known for its rich sweet flavor in a compact size. Abundance of delicious figs from late summer into early fall.

Tips, Use, and Harvesting Information for Fig Trees

Figs are not only easy to grow but also versatile in their uses, from fresh eating to preserving. To make the most of your fig harvest, here are some additional tips, uses, and harvesting guidelines for your fig trees.

1. Growing and Care Tips

  • Soil Health: If your fig trees are in poor or sandy soil, consider adding organic matter like compost or mulch annually to boost soil health and improve moisture retention. Figs generally thrive with minimal care but will appreciate soil that's rich in nutrients.
  • Mulching: Regularly renew the mulch around the base of your fig trees to maintain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Mulching also helps protect roots from temperature fluctuations, especially during colder months.
  • Watering in Hot Climates: In hot or dry climates, consistent watering is key to producing plump, juicy fruit. Be sure to water deeply at the base of the tree to encourage deep root growth.
  • Training and Trellising: Fig trees are adaptable and can be trained to grow against a wall (espaliered) or into a bushy, small form. This technique is helpful in small spaces and can make fruit easier to harvest.
  • Frost Protection: In areas prone to frost, be sure to wrap young fig trees in burlap or frost cloth during winter. You can also mound extra mulch around the base to insulate the roots.

2. Fig Uses

  • Fresh Eating: Fresh figs are delicious right off the tree when fully ripe. They have a sweet, honey-like flavor and soft texture. Enjoy them on their own or pair with cheese, nuts, or prosciutto for a savory-sweet snack.
  • Preserving:
  • Baking: Figs can be used in a variety of baked goods, including cakes, tarts, muffins, and bread. Their natural sweetness makes them a wonderful addition to desserts.
  • Cooking: Figs are often used in savory dishes, such as in salads, grilled with meats, or stuffed with cheese. They can also be used to make fig sauces for roasted meats or vegetables.
  • Freezing: Figs can also be frozen for future use. Wash and dry them, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Frozen figs are great for smoothies, baking, or cooking.

3. Harvesting Guidelines

  • When to Harvest:
  • How to Harvest:
  • Harvesting Frequency: Figs tend to ripen over a period of weeks, so you will likely need to check the tree every few days during the harvest season. Pick the figs regularly to encourage the tree to keep producing fruit.
  • Post-Harvest Care: Fresh figs have a short shelf life. Store them in the refrigerator and consume them within a few days of picking. For longer storage, consider drying, freezing, or making fig preserves.

4. Additional Tips for Maximizing Harvest

  • Thinning: In some cases, fig trees may set more fruit than the tree can support. If the fruit seems crowded, consider thinning some of the figs early in the season to allow the remaining fruit to grow larger and sweeter.
  • Encouraging Fruit Production: To encourage a more abundant harvest, ensure your tree gets plenty of sunlight, water during dry spells, and light fertilization during the growing season. A slightly root-bound tree may also produce more fruit, so don’t rush to repot container-grown figs unless necessary.
  • Second Crop (Breba Crop): Some varieties of fig trees, like Brown Turkey or Black Mission, produce two crops a year. The first (called the breba crop) comes from last year's wood and is typically smaller. The second main crop grows on new wood and provides the larger, sweeter fruit. Ensure you care for the tree year-round to maximize both crops.

Be sure to get superior fruit trees, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" fruit trees to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Fig Trees in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that is ready to grow and produce!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall fruit trees in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" tree, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy tree.

  • Grows in zones 7-10; compact Little Miss Figgy is great for containers

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure plants including the pot and roots, so the plant you receive is much smaller than you expected. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Fig Trees Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship thin, weak fruit trees grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" trees can spend years recovering before they give you a real harvest.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Fig Trees, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. That means your trees settle in quickly and start producing sweet homegrown figs sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Fig Tree Orchard Pack

What fig varieties are in the Fig Tree Orchard Pack?

The Fig Tree Orchard Pack includes four fig trees: one Brown Turkey, one Black Mission, one Chicago Hardy, and one Little Miss Figgy. Each variety has its own flavor and ripening time, so together they give you a mix of rich, sweet figs and a longer harvest season than a single tree.

Do fig trees need a pollinator to produce fruit?

No, the common fig varieties in this pack are self-fruitful and do not need a second tree or special pollinator to produce figs. A single tree can bear fruit on its own. Planting several varieties together mainly gives you more figs, more flavors, and a longer harvest window.

How far apart should I plant fig trees?

Plant the fig trees in the orchard pack about 10 to 20 feet apart, depending on the variety and how large you want them to grow. This spacing allows good airflow and room to spread. Compact varieties like Little Miss Figgy can be planted closer or grown in large containers.

What zones can the Fig Tree Orchard Pack grow in?

The fig trees in this pack grow best in USDA zones 7 through 10. In colder zones, figs can be grown in containers and brought indoors or into a garage for winter, or protected in the ground with a heavy layer of mulch over the roots.

When do figs ripen?

The figs in this orchard pack ripen at different times, giving you a staggered harvest from summer into fall. Figs are ripe when they soften, droop slightly on the stem, and reach full color. Unlike many fruits, figs do not ripen further after picking, so harvest them when fully ripe.

How big do fig trees get?

The fig trees in this pack range from about 8 to 20 feet tall and 8 to 15 feet wide, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Little Miss Figgy is a compact variety, while Brown Turkey and Black Mission can grow much larger. Regular pruning keeps any fig tree at a manageable, easy-to-harvest size.

Can fig trees be grown in containers?

Yes, fig trees can be grown in large containers, which is a great option for patios, balconies, and colder climates. The compact Little Miss Figgy is especially well suited to pots. Use a well-draining potting mix and a container with drainage holes, and move potted figs to a sheltered spot in winter.

How often should I water new fig trees?

Water new fig trees deeply once or twice a week during their first growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, figs are fairly drought tolerant, but regular moisture during summer produces better, juicier fruit. Mulch around the base to hold moisture.

Do fig trees need fertilizer?

Fig trees generally do not need heavy fertilizing. If your soil is poor, apply a balanced, slow-release 10-10-10 fertilizer in early spring and again in mid-summer. Too much nitrogen causes leafy growth at the expense of fruit. Compost or well-rotted manure are good organic alternatives.

When should I prune fig trees?

Prune fig trees in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches and thin crowded growth to let light and air into the canopy. Light pruning also keeps the trees at a size that makes picking easy. Avoid heavy cuts on young trees.
