Frequently asked gardening related questions
Figs need a warm, sunny, and sheltered location to thrive in the UK. A south- or west-facing wall is ideal as it provides warmth and protection from wind. Plant in free-draining soil, and avoid frost pockets or waterlogged areas. Figs benefit from restricted root space, so planting them in a large container or in a lined pit helps encourage fruiting instead of excessive leafy growth.
