To plant a White Texas Everbearing Fig, begin by selecting a sunny location with well-draining soil.

Place the sapling in the hole, backfill with soil, and water deeply to encourage good soil contact and root establishment.

The ideal time to plant White Texas Everbearing Fig trees is during the early spring or late winter when the tree is dormant. This timing allows the fig tree to establish its roots before the onset of the growing season. In warmer climates, planting can also be done in the fall, giving the tree time to acclimate without the stress of summer heat.

When planting multiple fig trees, spacing them properly is crucial for air circulation and adequate sunlight exposure. The recommended distance between White Texas Everbearing Fig trees is around 8 to 10 feet apart. This spacing ensures sufficient room for each tree to grow to its mature width and aids in preventing competition for resources like water and nutrients.
