Winter ran by the low desert this year. As the nights cooled down, my fig trees began to go dormant. During their quick nap, I decided to prune back some of their height and root pruned them for the first time. Last year, I noticed their growth slowed a bit compared to the previous year and the trees weren't as productive as I had hoped. They did produce some tasty figs but they were much smaller than expected. During the hotter summer months, the leaves would droop midday and by the evening, the pots felt much lighter despite recent watering. This meant the roots had taken up most of the containers and the only solution aside from putting these trees in ground, was to root prune them. This not only allows for more soil insulation around the roots but also gives me an opportunity to add fresh soil full of nutrients and good stuff.Though was process was tedious, once the trees woke in the spring, they erupted with growth and fruit. I can't wait to see what the fig harvests hold this year!

My go-to large nursery containers ( i highly recommend the 25 gallon and 15 gallon sizes).
