Their large and bold leaves provide a tropical effect in the and you’ll be rewarded with loads of delicious figs. Ideal for use as a specimen or warm season privacy hedge.
Growing Preferences
Fig trees will grow reasonably well in most soil types. They produce the best fruit in moderately to slightly acidic, moist but well-drained fertile soil that is rich in organic matter. In soil with low fertility it’ll be worth your time to mix in some organic compost to the native soil. They like the soil to hold a good supply of water, especially when the fruits are developing in summer, but not so much water that the soil stays constantly soggy or wet, which can be problematic. The best and most fruits will are produced when trees are growing in full sun. However, fig trees that receive a little shade during the hottest part of summer days will still produce good crops.

I sent this to my son in Houston for Christmas. He sounded less than thrilled. “Mom you sent me a twig?” One month later when I was visiting he told me the leaves are emerging and was excited to show it to me. It does look promising. Hoping it will eventually bear fruit.—————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
