Full Sun and slight acidic to neutral soil
​
The Figs are self pollinating plants. They are known for their mild sweet flavor fruit. They can be grown outside, but some will do better in containers which can be left outside when there is no frost and brought inside during the winter.

How to grow the Fig Plant
Figs need a sunny spot that’s protected from winter winds. Mulch trees well with compost.
Planting
-
“Remove the plant from its pot and remove any circling roots by laying the root ball on its side and using shears to cut through the roots.
-
Dig a hole that is a few inches deeper and wider than the spread of the roots. Set the tree on top of a small mound of soil in the middle of the hole. Be sure to spread the roots away from the trunk without excessively bending them.
-
Plant the tree 2 to 4 inches deeper than it was originally in the pot (check the color of the trunk to see the original soil line).”
