Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and promote germination. Change the water once or twice during soaking.

Sowing:

Plant the seeds 1 inch deep in a well-draining potting mix or directly into the ground if planting outdoors.
Space seeds at least 3-4 inches apart if planting in pots or seed trays.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Maintain a temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.
Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks, but it can sometimes take longer.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, they can be transplanted into larger containers or directly into the garden.
If planting outdoors, ensure all danger of frost has passed and space the trees at least 15-20 feet apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Fig trees prefer moderate water levels and can tolerate short periods of drought once established.
Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape the tree. Pruning also helps to improve air circulation and sunlight penetration, leading to better fruit production.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep the mulch several inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.
Harvesting: Black Mission figs are typically ready to harvest in late summer to early fall. The figs are ripe when they are soft to the touch and have a deep purple-black color. Gently twist the fruit from the tree to harvest, being careful not to damage the delicate skin.

Happy gardening!
