The care secret that transformed my Fig Tree

I'd had Fig Tree for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to mulching around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

harvest of home-grown fruit with exceptional fresh flavour became much more pronounced. The plant in an orchard with mixed varieties for cross-pollination now looks like a completely different specimen. winter pruning while the tree is dormant confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. fireblight bacterial disease affecting pears and apples has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Fig Tree is underwhelming, look at mulching around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds first.
