Safe overwintering methods of figs

Fig is a small deciduous subtropical tree, which grows mainly in tropical and temperate regions, likes a warm environment and is not cold-resistant, so the low-temperature season in winter is a test for it. So how can figs survive the winter safely? Follow the pro-farm network to take a look at the safe overwintering measures for figs.

1. Water control

Fig trees are very vulnerable to freezing damage when the soil is short of water, so it is necessary to pour enough water on the soil before overwintering to supplement the water consumed by the plant in autumn. sufficient water can increase the surface temperature and increase the cold resistance of the plant.

2. Bury the soil

Burying soil is also a very practical method for overwintering, pruning plants before freezing in winter, cutting off some unnecessary branches and leaves, and reducing nutrient consumption. Then bury the trunk of the plant in the soil with a height of at least 10cm. Also regularly check the cover, wait for the winter, the soil thawed, immediately remove the soil, and then timely watering.

3. Paint white and tie straw rope

Painting white and tying grass rope is the most popular means of protection against the cold, and we also see it in our daily life. Every winter, we can see the trunk of the trees in the streets painted white, and some even tied with grass rope. Painting white can reduce the absorption of heat from the sun by fig trees and prevent frost damage, while binding grass rope is even more obvious, that is, putting a piece of clothing on the trees can have a warm effect.

What if the fig tree is frozen?

Fig is a pure natural and pollution-free tree species, its purification ability is extremely strong, if it is frozen, it is a pity, but do not be discouraged, if it is a small area of freezing, all the frozen branches and leaves will be cut off; but if the trunk is frozen in a large area, then after the climate picks up, the trunk will be sawed off, maybe its roots are not dead, maybe it will sprout again.

The above is the introduction of the safe overwintering methods of figs brought by the pro-agricultural network, and the editor also brings you the remedies after the frost of figs, hoping to help you.
