[Sdpg] Companion Plants for Figs

[archelonia at cox.net]

Plant Fennel or dill very near the fig tree, because the flowers attract tiny wasps that pollinate the figs. lat-topped buckwheat (a native) might work as well as the fennel or dill to attract beneficial wasps (Hypotheis). You might also plant a "sacrificial" fruiting mulberry tree in the vicinity to lure birds away from the figs. Birds love mulberry fruits more than they love most other fruits.
