Fig trees are adapted
to an extremely wide range
of soils. Satisfactory crops
are produced on soils rang-
ing from coarse sand to
heavy clay, and on acid
soils as well as those hav-
ing an aklaline reaction.
However, fig trees are
much more productive on
deep, fertile loams and on
well-drained alluvial soils
than on infertile sands and
poorly drained, shallow
soils. Fig trees are mod-
erately tolerant of saline
conditions buy may be ser-
iously damaged by rela-
tively small amounts of

black alkali. They thrive on
high lime or calcareous
soils and are one of the few
fruits that d o not show
severe lime chlorosis when
grown on blackland prairie
soils of Texas.
Fig trees normally have
extensive shallow root sys-
tems. Some roots will
spread out in a 50 foot di-
ameter area.
Figs mature rapidly in
the Gulf Coast area dur-
ing hot, humid days and
warm nights.
Cutting should be made
in the late winter from the
previous season’s growth.
However, any wood up to
2 to 3 years old and not
over 3/4 inch in diameter
can be used. Cuttings 8 to
10 inches long are made
with pruning shears. The
basal cut should be made
just below a joint or node.
In well drained soil, the
cuttings are rotted direct-
ly in the nursery row or in
the garden by planting them
to such a depth that only the
the top bud remains above
ground. The soil should be
kept moist but not exces-
sively wet.
Air layering can be done
during the growing season
by removing a ring of bark
3/4 inch wide from a large
twig or branch. Moist
sphagnum moss should be
placed over the wounded
area and covered with plas-
tic, and the film should be
tied at both ends.
Fig trees are seldom
propagated by budding or
grafting.
Fig trees should be
spaced at least 10 feet a-
part and receive full sun-
light most of the day.
Fig trees are planted
during the dormant season.
Early winter is advanta-
geous in our area because
root growth is made during
mild winters; and a well-
established root system
can be developed prior to
leafing out.
Fertilization of fig trees
is the same as for other
fruit trees. ___
