Southern New Mexico here. Working on planting many fig trees here. Wish me luck, it's super hot and dry 8 months of the year.
Yes it needs more water but it would probably be a good idea to get a shade cloth for when temperatures are above 95
Looks good
Here in Southern California, I have to water my figs twice a day when the weather gets really hot, which means pretty much all summer long. If not, they get stressed very quickly. Figs are very thirsty trees
Like my Southern California colleague, I water my figs twice a day throughout the hot Israeli summer. If the plant does not have enough water, the leaves lose turgor and partially fall off. In addition, next year the figs will form much more modest foliage, "remembering" the thirst of the previous year ..
thumbs up
I've got 8 baby celeste figs planted in the ground, and it looks like we'll be getting near 100 over the next 4 days in a row. I just watered each plant (figs, necatrine, and blackberry) for about 10-15 minutes each. RIP to my water bill. 😢😂😅
Thank you.
use baby diapers buried around as retainer or water gel ..or sodium polyacrylate.. fever gel .. its contain same chemical. or buried bucket filed with rock use fabric sparator and cover with soil places beside the tree..
Large fruit trees are able to withstand dry conditions, but the tiny ones in the video won't have a large root system yet. It takes a few years to develop, so lots of mulch and lots of water is needed until the trees grow to a larger size.
Water is the key. I use a water meter to check
heck man, last year's heat in Texas nearly killed everything I got, that heat dome, never seen anything like it, 2 months no rain and the heat, it was like the sun was using a magnifying glass, and before that was the freeze and 2 entire weeks of non-stop rain..it was miserable, unreal, I know a lot of citrus trees suffered greatly
fig trees usually bounce back though, figs are pretty amazing, very easy to grow from cuttings, which means you can have a fig tree potted and putting out a couple figs in one season, I've done it, and they grow really fast and aren't picky at all, also, red mulberry trees, those things are amazing, maybe grow some redbud to bring in the bees to help pollinate as well, you gotta put down a thick bed of mulch, wood pulp can hold water like a sponge, like old rotted wood and it'll add nutrients as it breaks down, just watch for snakes haha, they're all over right now
Curious how your figs are doing.
I heard a nursery guy say drought tolernate only means it takes long to kill the plant.
Looks really nice
Hopefully your hard work will
pay off. Plants always do better
with creek water or lake or
well water. Any untreated
water without chemicals is best
Good Luck
good comments
Your soil looks it is pure sand, so yes you need mulch and frequent watering. Brown turkey is the most vigorous variety, usually used as rootstock.
Here we have had over 30 days of 115 or more up to 119 in the phoenix area . My Fig tress is dieing and I dont kn ow if it is the heat of under or over water. I have a timer to give sprayed water for 10 mi nutes at 7:30pm but I raised it to 17 minutes today. But all but 10 % of the leaves dried up and fell, and all the tiny fruit has dried up and fall if you touch them. So can you tell me if it is the heat, over or underwatering please?
We have had daily temps of around 105, 107 for several weeks here in southeast Texas. I have been giving my fig trees a deep watering 2 days a week, they seem to be going fine. The water hose is turned on around half way on, then placed a foot or so from the tree for around 15 minutes. With as hot and dry as it has been the water needs to have time to penetrate the dry soil. Dig down around 2 inches near the tree, is the soil dry?
How do you grow figs that taste like Fig Newtons? Is it about how much water you give them? Is it about how long you let them ripen?
That middle guys still the wee one.
The amount of space between the tree is quit disgusting . PLANT MORE TREES
14 - 16 feet, that is what I read they should be spaced
When those trees get mature, they'll
be really big around and taller
The space seems like a lot now,
but if they were closer they'd have
to be pruned severely or maybe
even cut down to make enough
room for the mature trees
