you can really use any soil, good draining soil I have been using composted lamb manure lately mixed with a little perlite and pine bark chips. Before that I used Pro-Mix BX and added a little extra perlite and dolomitic lime and they grew just as well. So you can really play around with mixtures until you get it right for your own climate.

I also have a couple seedlings. I grew them from store bought Kadota figs from California. The only problem with seedlings is they generally take along time to fruit and you have a much higher percentage of getting Capri Figs than actual edible figs. I have kept them just for fun but am not counting on them being anything spectacular but you never know.

What kind of soil do you recommend for planting fig trees???

Great Video,
thanks so much for the clear informative accurate information.
I myself also grow and I do sell Unusual Fig Trees in the UK.I own a 25 acre Fig Farm in Portugal with 2,000 Fig Trees.
Do email me with your requests, I can ship to the States.The trees are under 2kgs.in weight for shipping.,usually about 2 years old and well formed.Now the Fig Trees are without leaves.So now is the time to buy and plant.......

Hi, I germinated some figs from seeds. Now I have about 5-6 seedlings coming up. Any advise?

@mtlfigs, YES IN CABO ABOUT A 2 KILOMETERS FROM THE BEACH. BUT THOSE CUTTINGS SHOULD BE IN THE GROUND INSTEAD OF POTS, THE FRUIT IS AWESOME.

@hooodrichtg sorry I cannot mail you a starter because of export restrictions. if you want to get a fig tree you could visit some gardening forums or find an online nursery such as figs4fu or treesofjoy in the U.S.A.

Hi, can we become partners. I have lots of property with water, but no trees. And great soil.

@xavierz71 Hi, according to your profile you live in Mexico and this would complicate things if we were to become partners. If you are interested in starting a fig plantation you could probably import cuttings from the U.S.A. One good source to consider would be figs4fun.com Furthermore, you will probably need a Phytosanitary Certificate to import cuttings to Mexico.
