Persian Fig 'Kan' Tree

Our Persian Fig tree is originally from Kan, Iran. The fruit has a light greenish yellow thin skin and is medium-large in size. The flesh itself is very sweet and delicious. Figs reach maturity during the Fall season. This is a heavy producing, vigorous, and self-fruiting tree. Pruning should be done in the Winter to maintain a well balanced, evenly growing tree that produces high-quality fruit. Persian Kan Fig trees need hot Summers and a lot of sun. This can be many hours of full sun and regular watering. 100 hours.

Plant Description

The Persian 'Kan' Fig tree produces fruit heavily from a young age. It thrives in full sun and can grow over 30 feet tall, although pruning can keep it as small as 10 feet tall and wide. Plant trees 10-15 feet apart in well-draining soil.

Watering, Fertilizing, and Pruning

Watering Instructions

  • Initial Watering: Water deeply but not too frequently. Ensure the soil drains well.
  • Berm Creation: Build a berm around the drip zone to help water collect around the roots.
  • Spring and Summer: Water new trees regularly (1-2 times per week in spring, 2-3 times per week during hot summer months).
  • Fall: Reduce watering to once per week as temperatures cool.
  • Winter Dormancy: Stop watering during winter while the tree is dormant.

Fertilizing Instructions

  • Spring Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fruit tree fertilizer with a 1-1-1 or 2-1-1 NPK ratio (e.g., 5-5-5 or 6-3-3). Manure can be used in cooler climates.
  • Summer Fertilization: Reapply growth formula fertilizer during the summer growing season.
  • Fall Fertilization: Avoid fertilizing in fall as the tree slows down. If necessary, apply low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers with a 1-2-2 or 1-4-4 NPK ratio (e.g., 4-12-12).

Pruning Instructions

  • Winter Pruning: Prune while the tree is dormant. Cut the tip to prevent excessive height and side branch growth. Remove growth below the graft and any branches growing in undesirable directions.
  • Summer Thinning: Thin the tree to remove dry twigs, water sprouts, and excess fruits, focusing on directing desired growth.

Fig Tree Pest Management

  • Winter Treatment: Use dormant fruit tree spray or horticultural oil during the winter to prevent pests.
  • Harvest Protection: Use animal repellents or cover the fruit and net the tree to create a barrier, protecting the harvest.
