Fig Plant 'Magnolia' - Live Fig Tree Starter Plant

Description: The Magnolia fig is known for its impressive, large figs with a sweet, creamy flavor. This variety features beautiful, broad leaves that resemble those of the magnolia tree, adding an ornamental touch to your garden. It’s a deciduous tree that produces abundant fruit in late summer, perfect for fresh eating, baking, or making preserves. Planting Instructions:Location:Select a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Magnolia figs thrive in warm climates but can tolerate some cooler temperatures. Soil Preparation:Ensure well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Figs prefer slightly alkaline to neutral pH. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, mix in compost or sand to improve drainage. Planting: Spacing: If planting multiple trees, space them about 15-20 feet apart to allow for growth.Depth: Dig a hole that is twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.Watering:Water the tree deeply once a week during dry spells, especially in the first year to help establish strong roots. Once established, Magnolia figs are somewhat drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture. Fertilization:Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth and fruit production. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth rather than fruit. Pruning:Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the tree and remove any dead or crowded branches. This encourages better air circulation and enhances fruiting. Harvesting:Figs typically ripen in late summer. Harvest when they feel soft and slightly droopy, indicating they are ripe. Enjoy them fresh, dried, or in various recipes! With the right care, your Magnolia fig tree can provide delicious fruit and add beauty to your garden for years to come! SATISFACTION GUARANTEED.
