fig growing in LOS

[djayz]

What spacing between fig plants do you guys recommend? 

I have a single row growing at the moment, but, I've only left 1m spacing between my small to medium-sized plants, which I now suspect is way too close.

Figs trees that I planted three years ago at 5 metre distance are now touching. You can always prune of course.

They don't seem to transplant easily, so make the decision before they get too big.

Thanks for the info... That's pretty much confirms what I've gleaned on the net... Not looking forward to digging up 10 or so trees and replanting them... Lol
