I think I am going to plant at least one of each of the figs. Is there a “best” time of year to plant? Or should I just go ahead and plant as soon as the weather warms up a bit?
Now is good. Usually the earlier in the fall/spring you can plant, the better bushes and shrubs do. They’ll have all winter/spring to get their roots going instead of just being thrwon out there and having good weather for a month or two and then the heat sets in.
Here, anyway. :) We don’t have to worry too much about really cold temps, altho the last week has been miserable—for us.
Many times, even if the fig does die back to the ground—have a little patience. Don’t dig it up just yet. Figs like really warm weather and often don’t show any signs of life until it really warms up.
