Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This compact growing dwarf fig tree is perfect for container culture or in gardens with limited space. Little Miss Figgy produces medium sized purple to purple-brown fruit with a deep purple flesh. Provide a well-drained soil and a full to mostly sunny location for the best results. The Little Miss Figgy Fig can easily be overwintered in a protected location as a container plant making fresh figs available where they normally would not be. Fig trees do best where they get at least 8 hours of direct sun per day. Once well established they are fairly drought tolerant but extended dry periods can cause leaf and fruit drop as well as early dormancy. A deep organic mulch will help to alleviate extremes in moisture levels, reduce nematode issues, as well as to reduce competition from weeds.
