Fig trees are well known for their richly flavoured fruits, but often overlooked for their ornamental appeal. This carefully trained, half standard features a mop of enormous, lobed green leaves that lend an exotic feel to the garden. The magnificent head of leaves top a clear, upright stem that makes a superb focal point for a courtyard garden, or a leafy addition to tropical and Mediterranean planting schemes.
Ficus carica produces sweet, juicy figs from August to September. The fruits develop in the spring, and then ripen from August to September. A second crop may sometimes develop in late summer and, if protected, these will ripen the following summer. Height: 3m (9'). Spread: 2.5m (8').
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Water standard fig trees regularly, particularly during hot dry periods. Figs will not require much feeding except for a mulch of well rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant in spring. In particularly cold areas container grown plants can be moved to a frost free position in winter to protect the developing fruits and fruit bearing shoot tips from frost. Protect the fruits and stems of figs grown outdoors by wrapping them in a layer of straw and hessian in severe weather.
Prune standard figs only to remove any damaged or misplaced shoots and to maintain the open framework. New shoots can be pinch pruned in summer back to 5 or 6 leaves to encourage fruit formation.
When growing figs in the UK climate the fruits will develop in spring and ripen throughout the summer for harvesting in late summer or autumn when soft. A second crop may begin to develop in late summer. Leave these figs intact - any that survive the winter will ripen the following year.
