Plant Care Guide

Ideal Plantation Locations

Turky Anjeer thrives in warm climates with full sun exposure. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Suitable regions include Mediterranean climates and other areas with hot summers and mild winters.

Planting & Gardening Instructions

1. Location: Select a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Soil Preparation: Amend the soil with organic matter like compost to improve drainage and fertility.
3. Planting: Plant the fig tree in a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and mulch around the base to retain moisture.
4. Spacing: Allow ample space for the tree to grow, typically 15-20 feet between trees.

Watering

Water the fig tree deeply and regularly, especially during periods of drought. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Fertilizers

Fertilize the fig tree in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Apply additional fertilizer during the growing season if needed, following the product instructions.

Repotting Instructions

Re-pot young fig trees annually in the spring to a larger container. For established trees in the ground, repotting is generally not necessary.

Fruiting Season

Turky Anjeer typically produces its first crop of figs in late spring or early summer. A second crop, known as the “Reba” crop, may also be produced later in the season.
