How to care for a potted fig tree

2. Soil – Use airy potting soil enriched with compost. Ensure good drainage.
3. Watering – Water regularly, especially on warm days. Don't let the roots dry out, but avoid wet feet.
4. Nutrition – Provide organic fertilizer for fruit crops in spring.
5. Pruning – In early spring you can prune to shape; remove dead or weak branches.

Harvest and enjoy

• When? Ripe figs feel soft and peel easily. Usually in July/August and sometimes again in September.
• Uses – Fresh from the tree, or in salads, pastries, chutney or dried.
• Storage – Figs are best eaten fresh, or kept in a cool place for a few days. They also freeze well.
