- Receiving any tree in the mail, live, with leaves, during the growing season can be stressful for both you and the plant. We go over what to do when receiving a fig tree in the mail, how to harden it off from a dark box to summer sunlight, transition it from potted soil to native soil, and how to plant it into the ground for success! Bonus information on Mycorizae Fungi as well!
A little bone meal and lime are also great to add to a fig soil mix.
Sweet! Thanks for that info I will try it out!
Myko isn't really necessary most of the time. It doesn't have a lot of mycorrhiza spores, only about 70 per gram, which is not a lot considering there are billions of spores in a gram. It's diluted and doesn't work well when plants are regularly fertilized. Potassium in fertilizers can stop the plant fungi relationship. I've used it, but haven't seen much of a difference. It needs a bacteria rich environment to thrive, which potted plants usually don't have, and outdoor plants don't need since mycorrhiza is everywhere in nature.
My main complaint with it is the people who care enough to use it, are likely those who care enough to fertilize their plants regularly, I do like their Azos product however.
Very true. Mycorrhiza is very fragile. I do not fertilize with chemical fertilizers at all. I use whole inputs. Oyster shell, crab meal, kelp, chicken manure etc. thanks for the comment!
Big Bill sends you nice trees

What zone/location?
6B Central NJ. Grows like a weed! We do wrap in the winter though.
@@twiggshomestead6497 Thanks for replying.
do you have a video wrapping these new trees?
I’m in North Florida. Panhandle area. Would you still recommend the fungi when planting?
Yes, it is beneficial in all climates.
Box sings....
I dont think I follow. What does this mean?
I don’t see the link?
I had to take it down. You can find it on amazon though. Planning to do an amazon affiliate account in the future.
