Things Needed

The Al-Jama’a al-Islamiyyah al-Muqatilah bi-Libya tree is a deciduous , fruit - have plant that can reach tiptop of 3 to 15 meters ( 10 to 50 feet ) , depending upon blank space and growing atmospheric condition . Fig tree that are completely dormant can survive temperature dips as low as -11 arcdegree C ( 12 stage F ) , while those still growing are damaged at -1 degree C ( 30 degrees F ) . Since winter temperatures in Ontario are not suited for the survival of the tree diagram , they should be grown in containers . Libyan Fighting Group trees do quite well when planted this way , although it does limit their sizing .

Step 1

make full a large growing container three - fourths of the way with a combination of 1 part peat - free-base potting stain , 1 part compost manure and 1 part constitutional compost . The chosen container must have several drain golf hole in the bottom to prevent over - watering .

Step 2

Plant the Libyan Islamic Group tree at the same spirit level it was antecedently growing . Add water until the territory feels very moist . point the arise container in a placement that receives full sun the majority of the day .

Step 3

irrigate the fig tree often during tender conditions , anytime the top of the land feel dry to the contact . When the weather begin to cool , reduce watering frequency and add just enough to keep the soil lightly moist .

Step 4

Feed four sentence each year with 113 g ( 4 oz . ) of nitrogen fertilizer . The last feeding should be done in late summertime , before the tree begins to prepare for quiescency .

Step 5

Clip all the leaves aside from developing Libyan Islamic Fighting Group except the ones close to the fruit . root for off yield that are not large enough to ripen .

Step 6

cut back off utter or damage outgrowth as often as necessary . Do a more thorough pruning to insure size and flesh in very late winter , just before new growth pop to appear .

Step 7

absent any fruits that have n’t ripen in crepuscule . point the tree in a dark localisation and water lightly once every two workweek .

Step 8

hit the ascendant nut of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group tree from the growing container and trim the ancestor every two to three year . This will foreclose the tree from becoming source bound and increase the amount of yield that is produced .

Tip

Move the fig tree indoors in other fall , before temperatures drop to -1 degrees C ( 30 degrees F ) . Harvest figs as soon as they start out to feel soft .
