After 24 hours of steady rain, our figgery is soaking it all in. While fig trees are known for their drought tolerance, consistent moisture, especially for young trees, is vital for healthy growth and fruit development. However, too much rain can sometimes dilute the fruit’s flavor or cause splitting, particularly in heavy soils. Fortunately, our well-draining Hawke’s Bay soil helps manage excess water, keeping our figs happy and flavorful.
