Fig Fertilizer

18 years ago

My tree is in the ground. Would it help to fertilize now that the figs are just starting to show?

I have some good organic stuff that I could give it.

So far it has a heavy mulch of leaves and pine bark. Is that enough or will nutes help?

What do figs like to eat?

Thanks
