repotting figs

Australian conditions vary from one extreme to another. What do you do and when do you do it?

repotting figs

Post by toohey »

Hi All,
I have been too busy up to now, but I have a day or two.
Is it too late to repot figs (Port Jackson, Moreton Bay)
Regards,
Michael

Figs seem to be okay to repot any time of year.

Hi Michael,

The consensus is that figs should be repotted once the night time temps get above 15 consistently, at the moment in sydney its probably a little too early. They are hardy, but theres no point risking it

if the tree is putting out sheaths and new foliage, then you can repot.

Even if you keep them inside? Until the night temps go up. :?:

I am with you Brian. I always wait until the night time temps are high and constant. Which is usually about the middle of October for me.
