Can one move a Fig tree once it is strongly established ?

Question

which is the best season to transplant them if possible ?

Answer 1

My opinion is to do it in February when it is dormant. But it is very easy to make cuttings from figs trees. I have had 2 varieties (Celeste and lemon aka Florentine). Celeste you could take cuttings anywhere from about 5 inches to 12 and they'd easily root just in good compost or organic humus. The lemon fig tree was a little more finicky and would root best from very small, thin 3-4 inch branches. So if you have to move it, do so, but also take some cuttings as insurance! Plus, you can always give the cuttings to your friends. Put the cuttings (5-7) in 3 gallon pot in morning sun, afternoon shade and you'll have newly rooted baby trees in a few months.

Answer 2

Fig tree roots are brittle compared to many other types of trees and shrubs. They are difficult to transplant even as young trees without damaging a portion of their root system. Also, fig tree roots that have been compromised by breakage are even more suseptible to nematodes which damage the root system even further. If you want to have the same type of fig tree elsewhere in your yard you'd be better off buying another one of the same type, or rooting a cut branch from your existing tree. Whichever you decide to do, mulch it VERY well, with 4" or more of hardwood mulch to help keep the roots from getting nematodes.

Answer 3

It grew to become into an action-parable. purely some hear to his words, yet just some be conscious of a thank you to examine Jesus' movements. The fig tree grew to become into the rustic of Israel, the leaves have been John the Baptist and the fruit grew to become into turning to God by way of their movements which they did no longer do. in case you desire the spoken corresponding to this parable, look in Matthew 3 the place John the Baptist explains the comparable dynamic. Its nevertheless authentic right this moment, i will see all of it around me, peoples' lives wither in the event that they do no longer reply to God genuinely in what they actually do, (no longer purely in what they are announcing).

Answer 4

You can move any tree or shrub to wherever you want it. Sometimes the shrubber and plants have a hard time replanting somewhere else and sometimes they don't make

Answer 5

go with "gardeners" answer!! she is right,, the trees are brittle and the roots or shallow but spread out alot,, take some tip cuttings this winter and wrap them in newspaper,, leave them in the bottom of the fridge until spring... apply root harmone and plant in pots until they are 2-3 feet tall then plant these,, if the old trees are in your way you can only cut them down,,,dig all the roots out or they will try and grow back!!!!!

Answer 7

i would think spring would be. you don't want the ground to be too cold for the plant when you transfer it. also depending on the size. i would imagine over 10ft would be too big.
