Fig trees require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive and produce fruit. In general, full sun exposure is best for fig trees, but they can also tolerate partial shade, especially in hot climates
If you are planting a new fig tree, choose a location with good sun exposure. Avoid planting your fig tree in areas that are consistently shaded or receive less than 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you live in an area with hot summers, consider planting your fig tree in a location that provides some afternoon shade to protect it from intense heat.
If you have an established fig tree that is not getting enough sunlight, you can try pruning nearby trees or shrubs to allow more sunlight to reach your fig tree. You can also use reflective surfaces, such as white or aluminum foil, to direct more sunlight to the tree.
If you are growing your fig tree in a container, make sure to place it in a location that receives adequate sunlight. You may need to move the container around to find the best spot for your trees.
In summary, fig trees need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive and produce fruit. Choose a location with good sun exposure when planting your fig tree, and consider pruning nearby trees or using reflective surfaces to direct more sunlight to the tree if necessary.
