Are you growing fig trees in ground that are struggling to grow? In this video, I discuss two small tips and my BIG secret to insane fig tree vigor, that when implemented, gives me incredible growth for my in ground figs.
While fig trees are known to be some of the most vigorous fruit trees out there, some fig varieties have developed a reputation for being weak growers that lack vigor. Often, these are some of the most sought after varieties. Some growers have suggested grafting weaker varieties onto stronger rootstock as a solution, but I haven't found grafting figs to be necessary. In fact, all of my in ground fig trees grow with incredible vigor, adding as much as 10 feet (3 meters) of growth in a single season! This video details three simple fig growing tips - two little tips and one huge fig secret - for my incredible success growing figs in ground.
