Repotting Fig Tree

Question

Last year I purchased a Chicago Hardy fig tree. Was thrilled to find it as my dad and grandmother (both from Italy) have grown fig trees in pots for many years. I live in central Ohio. It grew and produced a few figs last summer. When the leaves fell off and went dominate I brought it inside in a small sitting area. Apparently that wasn’t cool enough (or don’t think so)because it started to make leaves a month ago. The weather here is finally good enough to bring the tree outdoors but I really wanted to transplant it to a bigger pot. Is it too late to do that? And when you do re-pot should it be fertilized? Wondering too since it came out of dormancy early if it will produce fruit? Thanks so much for your help.

Answer 1

You can still transplant your fig tree into a larger pot. And it is normal for the leaves to develop before it's time to go outside. These articles should help:
