September 3, 2018A.Water! Water deeply, water daily. You planted trees in Phoenix at the height of summer. Shame on you, what were you thinking?
Run down to the garden center and pick up a small bottle of Superthrive. Pour a dash in when you water, today!
I grew up in Phoenix and started my landscape career there. I was a foremen on a tree planting crew. I swear by this stuff (Superthrive) for saving trees from transplant stress. But water is the primary life saver in the desert. DonWas this answer useful?00 - Asked by

September 5, 2018Q.when do figs ripen?
I have a fig tree that is two years old it was started from a cutting. the tree has tripled in size since I uncovered it in late winter, I water it maybe 3 times a week plus we had an auful lot of rain this Spring and Summer. I also fertilize it with an organic fruit tree fertilizer.I live in Eastern Pa. about 50 miles North of Phila.My question is this tree has a lot of figs on it, but they have not increased in size in the past two months will they increase in size and ripen, I sure hope so. Thank You, Bob Mohr

September 5, 2018A.Figs are considered ripe when the necks wither, and the fruit starts to hang downward. They will not ripen further once they are picked from the tree. Here is a link that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/figs/how-to-harvest-figs.htm

Certified ExpertA.Depending on the fig, this tree may or may not be self fertile. If it is not self fertile, then you will require another tree, and the wasp that pollinates the tree.
The fruits may not ripen, and it is very unwise to consume unripe figs.
Do you know the exact variety that it is?

Are Fig Trees Tender less than 1 year old any help would be grateful

Certified ExpertA.They can be, depending on the climate of that part of your country. From a little research, it would appear that your climate is quite mild, and would be fine for the tree.
I would recommend, as I do for all young trees, to keep the tree in an area that will not freeze, only when the threat of freezing temperatures arise. You will only have to do this for the first year, and then the tree will be hardy enough to fend off nature just fine on its own.
