Planting Directions
<h2>Planting Fignominal Fig</h2>
<p>To plant a Fignominal Fig, follow these steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Select a location with full sun and well-draining soil.</li>
<li>Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball.</li>
<li>Place the fig tree in the hole, ensuring it's at the same depth it was in the pot.</li>
<li>Backfill the hole with soil, gently tamping down to remove air pockets.</li>
<li>Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil.</li>
<li>Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Care and Maintenance</h2>
<p>For ongoing care:</p>
<ul>
<li>Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.</li>
<li>Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer after new growth appears and every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.</li>
<li>Prune in late winter to remove any dead or diseased branches and to shape the tree.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Fertilization and Pollination</h2>
<p>Figs typically self-pollinate, but for improved fruit set:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure there are other fig trees nearby to increase pollination chances.</li>
<li>Attract pollinators by planting flowers or avoiding pesticide use.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Harvesting</h2>
<p>To harvest figs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Wait until the fruit droops on the stem and the skin is soft to the touch.</li>
<li>Pick the figs gently to avoid bruising the fruit.</li>
<li>Harvest regularly as figs ripen at different times.</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember, each plant is unique and may require slight adjustments in care. Monitor your fig tree and adjust water and fertilization as needed.</p>

<ul>
<li>Apply a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins.</li>

<strong>How do I ensure proper pollination of my Fignominal Fig tree?</strong>
<p>Fignominal Figs are generally self-pollinating, but you can encourage better fruit production by:</p>
<ul>
<li>Planting more than one fig tree if space allows, as this can increase pollination rates through cross-pollination.</li>
<li>Attracting pollinators such as bees and birds to your garden by planting a variety of flowering plants.</li>
<li>Ensuring your fig tree is not overly shaded, as more sunlight encourages better fruit production.</li>
</ul>

<li>Gently twist the fig off the branch or use pruning shears to cut the stem close to the fruit.</li>
<li>Harvest in the morning if possible, when the fruit is cool.</li>
<li>Consume fresh figs quickly, as they spoil within 7-10 days even when refrigerated.</li>
