Fig

Fig trees are a wonderful deciduous trees, and are grown very successfully in the UK. Best grown in a sheltered site with some space allowed. They are surprisingly large and spread up to 3 metres when fully grown! Can also be grown in pots which are ideal so they can be moved to sunny spots, or moved under shelter if necessary. They also have their roots restricted to reduce vigorous growth if you wanted a smaller tree.

Fig fruits are full of natural sugars and minerals including calcium and iron. Only the small embryonic fruit that appear in spring on the tips of the previous years growth will develop into ripe fruit in the UK. Fig trees are ripe and ready to harvest in August and September. A second crop appears later in the summer but these fruits will not mature and should be removed in the autumn.

Hard pruning is recommended to encourage young replacement shoots. Pinching out of strong growing tips is also encouraged in mid summer to develop and ripen the current crop.
