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.

    Common figs growing in Thailand don't need a wasp to make fruit.  Greenhouses reduce the formation of rust on leaves during the rainy season.  We have almost 100 varieties growing here in our garden.

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

    Does anybody here have any fig cuttings for sale/trade? I already have the following so I'm not interested in these:

    Hardy Chicago

    Conadria

    Ficus carica dolmades 

    Japanese BTM 6

    King fig

    Sultane

    Black/white Genoa 

    Brown Italian

    Violette de Sollies (aka Bourjassotte noire) (would be interested in more scions of this one)

    Panachee (aka Bordissot blanca rimada)

    Australia 

    Brooke red

    Mausi Dauphine (would be interested in more scions of this one)  

    Long d'Aout (would be interested in more scions of this one)

     

    Also, I do have small plants from some of the above mentioned cultivars which I would be happy to trade for a new variety - cutting or rooted.
