Скачать или смотреть Leave Figs on the Tree? Do's & Dont's

This video addresses a common question about whether to remove figs from trees as they go dormant during winter. The recommendation is generally to remove figs and leaves, especially if the tree is being wrapped for protection. Wrapping can cause condensation to build up, potentially leading to mold. Similarly, figs should be removed when trees are moved into winter storage to prevent attracting rodents or animals that could damage the tree or its bark. These steps ensure the tree remains healthy and free from preventable issues during dormancy.

However, leaving figs on the tree can be beneficial in certain conditions. For example, if the tree is grown in pots and stored indoors or in an environment that supports continued growth, the figs may ripen and provide an early crop the following growing season. This can occur in warm climates or controlled setups where frost and dormancy are not factors. While this is not a common scenario for most growers, it offers a potential bonus for those in favorable conditions.
