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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrune in late winter to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
