Todays order of business...repotting a pot bound fig tree! Yup, you heard it right we can grow fig trees in Newfoundland! This tree was neglected last summer but produced a single ripe fig at 2 years old. The tree produced some woody figs that never ripened. I suspected it was a nutrient issue...and it was! The tree was extremely pot bound and needed a much larger container. There are many recommendations for pot bound trees including box cutting the roots and unravelling the root ball...I opted for the simplicity of just planting it in a new container without disrupting the roots. The tree is now in a good sunny location and espalier will hopefully lead to a productive summer!
