Actually I disagree slightly with your
advice. I would plant the fig about 1 to 1 ½ feet from the
wall. As the poster lives in zone 5a, it is likely that he/she will want
to wrap their fig to help is survive winter damage. This is easier if the
fig is not planted directly against the wall. 1 ½ feet is probably
as far away from the wall as I would go though. Just a thought, and as a caveat let me say
that Lon certainly knows more than I Scott Hills From: nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org

Behalf Of Lon J. Rombough Plant the tree right next to the wall of the building and train it as
an espalier flat against the wall. The fig will get more heat that way and
you'll still have room for your garden. The fig is unlikely to get bigger than
the wall, anyway. |
