When will figs bear fruit?

Figs generally bear fruit from May to July in spring, and the fruit is pear-shaped. When mature, the skin color is purple and red, and the taste is sweet and sour. However, figs in northern areas bear fruit later, usually in autumn and September. Figs are not strict with soil, and can grow in lime soil, desert sandy soil and acid red loam soil, but don't plant figs in sticky soil, or the roots will die of breathing difficulties.

Figs like warm weather. When the temperature is below MINUS 5 degrees Celsius, plants begin to wither. Therefore, when cultivating figs, it is beneficial to improve fruit yield by providing them with sufficient light and basking in the sun for 6 hours every day. Figs are not tolerant to waterlogging, and they will die when waterlogging occurs. In the process of fig cultivation, it is necessary to control the amount of watering so that the soil is in a semi-dry state, but after the root system dries up, it must be watered in time so that the fig can absorb water.

Fig is a deciduous shrub or small tree of Ficus of Moraceae, with many branches, oval leaves and irregular blunt teeth on the edge. The fruit grows in the axils of leaves and is pear-shaped. It is purplish red or yellow at maturity. Banyan actually has flowers, but the inflorescence is hidden, and the flowers will be hidden in the fruit. The fruit I usually eat is mainly the flowers of banyan trees. Wild fig trees can only be pollinated by fig wasps.

Fig is one of the oldest cultivated fruit trees in the world. Originated in the Mediterranean coast, it was introduced into China from Persia in Han Dynasty and into the Central Plains from Xinjiang in Tang Dynasty. Now it is cultivated in both the north and the south, mostly in southern Xinjiang. There are many kinds of this species, such as Branrick, Penglai persimmon and green tangerine peel.
