Care Information
Position:
Plant in a warm, sunny, and sheltered position. South or west-facing walls are ideal for maximising fruit production.
Watering:
Water regularly during the growing season, particularly in the first year. Once established, figs are relatively drought tolerant.
Soil:
Thrives in well-drained soil. Figs actually benefit from slightly restricted root space, which encourages fruiting over excessive leafy growth.
Feeding:
Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as this can reduce fruit production.
Pruning & Training:
Maintain the espalier shape by pruning in late winter and lightly in summer. Remove excess shoots to preserve the structured framework.
Fruiting:
‘Bornholms Diamant’ is known for its ability to ripen fruit reliably in the UK, especially when grown against a warm wall.
