5 Best Fig Trees To Grow In Oregon

The sacredness of figs and fig trees has been mentioned throughout history, including legends from Greek mythology and biblical scripture.

It is symbolized in images of Adam and Eve covering their private parts with leaves from fig trees, which represent abundance, fertility, and modesty.

Fiddle fruit trees come from Asia and are related to mulberry trees. Their branches do not produce flowers, making them truly unique. It is rather the fruit that gives the figs their texture that contains the blossoms.

Figs are native to many parts of the world as well as performing well in warm and sunny climates. The Pacific Northwest isn’t immune from the production of fruit. Growing Oregon figs that would make Adam and Eve blush is possible with a little planning.

If you grow your fig tree on the ground or in a pot, make sure that it gets plenty of sunlight. They need a lot of drainage as well.

Growing figs in pots will not result in the same yield as planting them in the ground. When temperatures drop below freezing, it may prove easier to protect the tree.

Fig trees need to be pruned during January or February. For the center to be illuminated, it should be open. Getting rid of old growth is the best way to accomplish this.

Fig trees are one of the rare species of trees that can have their branches cut to reduce height. The center will also receive light, which will nurture the fruit.

The Pacific Northwest is home to some species of plants that are hardy and thrive there. Research the best fig trees for your landscape if you are planning to plant figs on your property. Oregon figs may even produce two crops before they ripen fully.
