Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun in light, well-drained soil for best fruiting.

While figs prefer warm, dry conditions, they benefit from consistent watering during fruit development. Deep watering through warmer months will help produce larger, juicier fruit.

Prune firmly in winter, removing up to two-thirds of the previous season’s growth to encourage vigorous new shoots and improved fruiting.

Suitable for both in-ground planting and large containers, making it a versatile option for smaller spaces.

Ideal for
– Fresh fruit, jams and drying
– Pots, courtyards and compact gardens
– Mediterranean-style and edible gardens
– Feature trees with ornamental foliage
