My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Transplanting a Fig tree?

14 years ago

Hi, i live in Vic, and have recently discovered a Fig tree has popped up in the backyard, since the fires came through, it is unfornately growing right against my fence and is about 70cm high at current, i was going to get rid of it but everyone thinks i should keep it, i understand figs can be grown in containers and am now considering this, when is the best time to dig her up? and how do i go about doing it... i mean in terms of figuring out how wide and deep to dig and is there a special type of potting mix/soil i should use, also once in a container how often should i re-pot it?

Thanks in advance
