Then, raise your new baby to maturity under your caring, green thumb. Growing Method Our figs are grown by tissue culture from mature cells, which is a superior method that produces healthier plants that can fruit much sooner than if they were grown by seed. None of our figs are grown from seed; the narrow stems indicate that they are grown from this premium tissue culture method and, within months, can grow large and robust. No Leaves? Figs often ship with no leaves since they are very delicate. You'll know your fig is still alive and will grow new leaves shortly, though, because of its firm stem and green buds. In the winter, figs go dormant. This is totally normal and actually very healthy. Like hibernation, dormancy is an important part of the growing cycle when plants are strengthening their root systems instead of focusing on creating new growth. They are still healthy, viable plants that will begin growing new leaves in spring with more light and warmer temperatures during the day and night. Fig Rust Figs do best in a mediterranean climate marked by hot, dry summers and low humidity. In humid or rainy areas, figs are subject to fig rust. While rarely fatal to the tree, and only indirectly affecting the fruit, the appearance of fig rust isn't desirable. You can also snip off the affected leaves if you want. Help avoid this problem with the new leaves by keeping the areas under the tree free of leaf debris and keeping the leaves from getting too wet when watering. Copper fungicide sprays (like Bonide and Serenade for organic gardening) can help during the rainy season, too. Shipping: USPS First Class/Priority Mail.
