The multiplication of fig trees can be achieved through several methods, enabling the creation of new plants from existing parent stock. These methods include techniques such as rooting cuttings, layering, and grafting. Each approach leverages the plant’s natural ability to generate new roots and shoots under favorable conditions.
Successful plant propagation allows gardeners and agriculturalists to expand their fig orchards cost-effectively and preserve desirable traits from particular cultivars. Furthermore, this practice facilitates the sharing of genetic material and contributes to biodiversity conservation. Historically, the propagation of fruit trees has been essential for ensuring food security and economic sustainability.
