Planting & Care

To start Smith Fig seeds, sow them indoors in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Press seeds lightly into the surface and keep them warm and moist. Germination can be variable, so patience is recommended. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a sunny window or greenhouse.

When planting outdoors, choose a site with full sun and well-drained soil. Water young trees regularly to help them establish, then reduce watering as they mature. In colder zones, grow figs in containers and move them indoors or to a protected area during winter. Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove dead wood.
