Ficus Carica 9 Litre Pot

Ficus carica (Common Fig)

Exotic yet hardy, Ficus carica is a deciduous fruit tree celebrated for its bold, lobed foliage and delicious, sweet figs. Its large leaves add a lush, Mediterranean feel, while the fruits ripen to soft purple-brown in late summer.

Perfect for sunny walls, courtyards, or sheltered gardens, figs grow best when their roots are restricted, which encourages fruiting. Hardy across much of the UK, this tree provides structure, seasonal interest, and home-grown harvests with minimal care.

Growing conditions:

• Soil: Well-drained soil; thrives when roots are restricted

• Aspect: Hardy in most UK gardens; shelter from cold winds

• Care: Prune in late winter; mulch annually; water during dry spells; restrict roots in containers or with root barriers for best fruiting

Key features:

• Deciduous fruit tree with bold, lobed leaves

• Produces sweet, edible figs in late summer

• Creates a Mediterranean feel in UK gardens

• Suitable for containers, borders, or trained against walls

• Height & Spread: 3–5 m (smaller if container-grown)
