👇Tips:
Sunlight: Plant in full sun, providing at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

💚Pruning: Prune in late winter to trim the tree into your desired shape and improve growth.

💚Fertilizer: Feed annually in early spring and again in mid-summer with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.

💚Pests and Diseases: Watch out for diseases like anthracnose or rust. Fungal diseases are common in humid areas or when there is little airflow around the branches due to a lack of pruning. Nematodes, spider mites, and fig tree borer are possible pest problems.

💚Pollination: Chicago Hardy Fig Trees are self-fertile, so you don’t need to plant another fig tree for a successful harvest. Purchase the Fig Pollination Pack which includes the Chicago Hardy Fig and Black Mission Fig.
