Grab the Black Mission Fig for yourself today! Planting & Care 1. Planting: Start by selecting an area with well-drained soil and full to partial sun (4 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). Then, plant your Black Mission Fig in a hole twice as wide and nearly as deep as the root's ball, and water after planting. If you plant in a container to bring inside during winter, select a pot that’s about twice the width of your plant’s shipped container. Also, ensure the pot has drainage holes. Use organic planting mix, place your tree in the pot, and then water until you see water flowing from the drainage holes. Finally, place your Fig Tree in front of a sunny window indoors. 2. Watering: Feel the soil about 2 or 3 inches down – if it’s dry, you should water the tree. Once your tree is established, you can water every week or every 2 weeks in milder weather. 3. Pruning: Prune back any dead or diseased branches after the second harvest in summer or fall. To maintain the size of your tree in your yard or pot, prune to your desired size for the first three years. Established trees should not require very much pruning at all.
