We planted a fig tree in South Jersey. We cover it from the end of November until May. From May and throughout the summer a great number of figs START growing but they don't ripen quickly. As a result we only get a handful of figs and the rest rot when it gets cold. Is there any way to speed up the growing time? Other people get figs (in our area) why can't we? We let the bush get HUGE and out of control? Would pruning it during the season help? We usually cut it to nothing before the frost. Thanks for any info.
Fig tree in New Jersey.. help?
Keep your tree trimmed down a bit. It will use the energy on the fruit instead of all the extra foliage. A dose of well balanced fertilizer at the start of the season completes the puzzle.
Reply:Go buy a very large fake fig tree and set it next to it all winter so it may get jealous and have something to aspire to.
