Cape Figs

Happy holidays!

This is how I cover my fig trees for the winter.

1: Prune.
2: Thick mulch around the base.
3: Cover with burlap.
4: Tarp.

I covered them Nov 21st this year.

I will uncover the trees 2 weeks before the last frost.

The fig season is almost over here on the cape!

Also, here’s a photo of my in ground LSU gold fig tree showing how much a fig can grow when in the ground.
