Step-by-Step Guide to Growing Deanna Fig Tissue Culture Saplings
Growing Deanna Fig tissue culture saplings is easy with proper care. Follow these steps for success:
-
Site and Soil:
- Choose a sunny spot with 8+ hours of direct sunlight.
- Use well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil to prevent root issues.
-
Planting:
- Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and plant at the same depth as in the pot.
- Space saplings 8-20 feet apart to accommodate mature growth (up to 15 feet tall and wide).
-
Watering and Fertilizing:
- Water deeply once weekly in summer, less in winter. Avoid overwatering, as figs prefer drier conditions.
- Fertilize in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10).
-
Pruning and Maintenance:
- Prune in early spring after the last frost to remove dead wood and shape the tree.

-
Harvesting:
- Harvest the breba crop in late summer and the main crop from August to October. Pick when figs are soft and slightly yellow.
