Subject: Fig trees
My friend has a huge fig tree (approx20′) that produces hundreds of figs.
Enough for dozens of families. He has never had a a problem with the deer.
Mine is also tall but does not produce quite as much as sit doesn’t get as much sun. I’m sure Southern States in Carrboro has them but you could call.
I was told once that they should be planted near some sort of protection but that is not the case with my friends.
Good luck.
