Douglas Hunt on Nov 18, 2012@Ana M: I think the safest time to do so would be late winter, when the tree is just about to break dormancy. I suspect this would be February for you. Depending on the size of the tree, you may want to do some heading back to reduce the stress on the tree. @Jimmy S: See this link for recommendations on the type of figs to plant by area: http://www.caes.uga.edu/publications/pubDetail.cfm?pk_id=6802Helpful Reply

Sharron W on Nov 18, 2012I have Turkey figs and they are prolific producers, but i have to constantly fight the squirrels to get them, the birds aren't greedy and I don't mind sharing but the squirrels are wasteful... fortunately I think the owls that have been visiting have cleaned out some of the over population that has plagued us and we may actually get a reasonable harvest this coming year...Helpful Reply
