Planting & Care

When your Olympian Fig Tree arrives, unpack it carefully and water if the soil feels dry. If planting in the ground, choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth, then backfill and water thoroughly. For container growing, use a large pot with drainage holes and a quality potting mix. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, figs are relatively drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture during fruit development.

Prune in late winter to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring. In colder zones, provide winter protection for young trees or grow in containers that can be moved indoors.
