Fig tree
Marian:
Hello everyone
I've been away from this this site for seven years... Living on a boat for ten years didn't help my gardening skills.. :happy7: We've moved off the boat and now live in bricks and mortar. We have a fig tree growing very close the property wall and I wonder if it should be moved. It's about five ft tall. Thanks for any help. 😊😊
Obelixx:
Growing figs against a wall is a good way to encourage fruiting because of the reflected heat. Monty Don has one in his garden and there's a large one round the corner from us here with the wall still standing.
pumkinlover:
Welcome back. Fresh fig are delightful.
Obelixx:
Yes, if you can get them before the flipping starlings strip every single one before they even get ripe.
Marian:
Thank you all for your kind replies. :-) Further to your advice, I will leave the fig tree in its current position. I suspect I will have to wait a while before the fruit appears. Cheers all. 😊
