1, propagation methods

The fig has three main propagation methods: cuttings, pressing and dividing, the fig branch is very easy to root, so the production of cuttings is the main use of propagation methods, this propagation is fast, the operation is easier, and the survival rate is also higher.

Cuttings propagation in the spring, when the temperature and climate are conducive to branch rooting, select the growth of strong, disease-free plant branches to do spikes, spikes of the branches of the best for the short internodes, the current year hard branches, will be inserted directly into the nursery bed, watering, to keep the soil moist, the temperature of 20-25 degrees between, about 3-4 days to rooting.

2, planting

When the new plant root system is also fully developed, began to germinate and grow new leaves can be planted, planting distance is generally 3-4 meters, spacing 2 meters or so, if it is planted in warm climates and soil quality is better environment, it can be appropriate to expand the distance between the plants 1-2 meters. Planting can be spring planting and winter planting, spring planting in early spring in March, winter planting in November-December before the wind freeze planting.

3, shaping and pruning

Fig shaping and pruning is relatively simple, it is suitable for pruning into a multi-branched natural open-ended shape, the whole plant to retain 3-5 main branches can be, do not leave any side branches, the whole by more than one branch to form a crown. Therefore, it is extremely important to cultivate in the seedling period, to be timely centering pruning, to promote its multi-branching, to achieve the purpose of rapid expansion of the crown.

4, field management

After the plant is planted into the living, to loosen the soil and weed, in order to promote its multi-branching, so pruning should be timely fertilization, fig is more tolerant of fertilizer fruit trees, so fertilization should be re-generated to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer-based, so that it can quickly promote the growth of its branches and leaves. Fig tree is hardy but not hardy fruit tree, except in the fruit expansion period when the water demand is great, the rest of the time does not need how to water.

It's root system, if long time in the waterlogged environment, will cause root rot and lead to plant blossom, fruit, leaves, or even death, so to do a good job of drainage measures, especially in the cloudy and rainy days to pay more attention.

Extended information

The fig is one of the world's oldest cultivated fruit trees, high economic value. The fruit can be processed to make jam, dried fruit, canned food, juice, fruit powder, preserves, syrup and a series of beverages, etc., is pollution-free green food, known as the "21st century the guardian of human health". For this reason, China at home and abroad have attached great importance to the research and development of figs, its series of products have doubled in value.

The fig fruit period is quite long. From June to November, there are more than five months each year, fresh fruit can continue to supply the market, and suitable for successive processing, do not need to pile up storage. Good seed single fruit weight is generally 50-100 grams, the larger fruit can reach 150 grams or more. Fresh food processing, the development of township enterprises is very favorable.
