Figs are a bit special as a type of fruit. We all know that figs are rich in nutrition and have a long history of cultivation, with many people enjoying them. However, the taste of ripe figs is quite unique because the sweetness inside fig fruit is not very high, so many people find them not tasty. Now, figs are more often processed into dried fruit, which is suitable in sweetness and also delicious. Many people are curious about figs; do figs really not have flowers? If there are no flowers and no pollination, how do they bear fruit? Today, Yang will explain why figs have no flowers and also share some planting techniques for figs, hoping it will be helpful to you.
1. Orchard Site Selection
Figs are highly adaptable to the environment and are not strict about soil requirements, thriving in plains, hills, dry fields, saline-alkali lands, and coastal beaches. However, better soil conditions are more conducive to increasing yield and quality. Moreover, because figs are soft and juicy, they have poor storage properties and are not easy to transport. Therefore, when developing an orchard, it should be chosen in a place with convenient transportation and close to cities or processing plants for processing and sales.
2. Variety Selection
Depending on the cultivation objectives, figs can be divided into four types of varieties: fresh food varieties, processing varieties, landscaping varieties, and dual-purpose varieties. Fresh food varieties include Kawasaki, Japanese purple fruit, and Ziguang. Kawasaki has good quality and high yield; while Bulanruik has the strongest resistance and is suitable for both fresh eating and processing; Hongdwarf is especially suitable for gardening pot plants and is a rising star among fig varieties.马斯义陶芬 (Masi Taofen) has large fruit but average taste and is prone to splitting, making it unsuitable for cultivation in rainy areas. Qingpi has a high sugar content but thick skin and is not aesthetically pleasing.
3. Fertilization Management
If you want figs to bear good fruit, it's important to use fertilizers appropriately and reasonably, not that more is better, but to meet their growth needs at different stages and target fertilization. For example, during the transplanting period, you can use some phosphorus and potassium to help growth, and during the flowering period, use some phosphorus and nitrogen, which can promote fruit setting.
4. Pruning Management
When planting, be sure to pay attention to proper pruning to avoid excessive growth, which would consume a lot of nutrients and affect the final fruiting. Generally, leaving four main branches is the most suitable, and the rest of the lateral branches can be pruned off. First, make sure to distinguish the overall shape to better proceed. The most important thing is to allow the nutrients to go more to the fruit.
5. Pest Management
Relatively speaking, figs do not have many pests, but it is still important to prevent them. For example, if pests appear, it may lead to no fruiting. For large-scale planting, pesticides can be used appropriately. If the figs are planted at home as potted plants and on a smaller scale, pest control can be simpler, using some traditional methods such as using刺激性汁液 (stimulating juice) to kill pests.
