Do you know what? I am amazed! Fruit trees that were just sticks in the ground a few months ago and they are producing fruit! Not knowing a thing about figs when my wife asked me to plant some, I told her I would, but that it might take a few years before we see figs. What a hoot!

The fruit trees will take longer to bear quantities. Try to remember next year to spray them in Feb with a dormant oil spray. It will kill any insects/diseases that have overwintered in teh bark. Then follow up with a good fruit tree spray, starting when the buds swell. You’ll have to do it about once a week/every ten days.

I’m assuming here—since your climate is so similiar to here. :)
