I put fireplace ash around the base of the tree. I had NO problems with ants at all this year!

Morning sun is better, I have 10 fig trees, Black Genoa and White Adriatic, the WA is very tasty

I live in California, and have two pitiful looking fig trees. A black mission which gave me a few edible sweet figs this year, and Kadota (?) that gave me one delicious fig several months ago. The others are dried , tough and not tasty. They are both in pots and I'm thinking if I put them in the grown, I will get a better yield. Thank you for the video. You have a beautiful yard.

Thanks for the video,I wonder if a nice layer of mulch would help keep the roots toasty in winter time?

Will would love some cuttings from your fig tree to start my own here in Illinois Zone 5.
