Q: "Are Fig Trees Better in Pots or Ground?"

Описание: A: Planting fig trees in the ground offers numerous advantages, particularly in yield and fruit quality. While ground planting offers superior yield and fruit quality, container gardening has its merits. Containers provide flexibility, allowing you to move trees for better sun exposure, protect them from cold, and trial different varieties before planting them in the ground. This trial period is beneficial if you're unsure about the variety's performance or if you have limited space and don't want to commit to a permanent planting.
