Where do you live? Fig trees can take cold weather but need winter protection any colder than zone 5 or below 10 degrees. They also like summer heat and full sun in most zones and spring pruning just to remove the suckers or long wild branches. They responds to a general slow release plant food like Osmocote. Enjoy your figs! Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
