Description : Fig Tree, dwarf

Geographical origins: Persia and Asia Minor
Adult dimensions: 1.20 to 1.50m
Foliage: Deciduous
Soil type: All, preferably well-drained
Climate: Hardy down to -15°C
Exposure: Full sun

Properties and uses:
Perfect for balconies, terraces and small gardens, the self-fertile dwarf fig tree combines a compact size, high hardiness and abundant harvests in pots.

Self-fertile and early-bearing : no need for a second tree to get fruit. It self-pollinates and produces quickly from its very first years.

Compact size : its reduced size maintains a dense and elegant habit, perfect for dressing up an outdoor area without ever becoming invasive.

Tasty fruit : enjoy sweet, flavourful and fleshy figs, to eat directly from the tree or use in cooking.

Easy maintenance and hardy : highly resistant to cold (down to -15 °C once established), requires minimal pruning and tolerates occasional lack of water well.

Plant now: The shortest route is still from your garden to your plate!

Warning: Fig sap becomes toxic under the effect of the sun and skin perspiration: it can cause allergies or skin reactions ranging up to burns. Make sure to protect yourself with gloves when pruning, especially in sunny weather, and take care that your children do not play with the leaves!

Several varieties exist :
- Figality : a very compact dwarf variety (around 1 m), ideal for growing in pots on a balcony or terrace, offering sweet figs and excellent hardiness.
- Little Miss Figgy : a dwarf mutation of the famous "Violette de Bordeaux" variety, remarkable for its highly decorative cut foliage and generous production of dark, very sweet fruit.
- Fignomenal : an ultra-dwarf, highly branched variety (70 to 90 cm), renowned for its extremely fast fruiting and ability to produce tasty figs throughout the season.

Jean-Michel Groult advises you

Sensitive to the cold by nature
The fig tree, once well established, withstands frost up to -12°C approximately, but it is not totally hardy. A harsh cold makes it regrow from the stump which needs to be sheltered against a wall to ensure that the tree will grow again, with the least possible damage, in the spring. In this way, protected against a south-exposed wall, it is possible to harvest figs everywhere in France. The choice of the variety is important, as to get fruits in colder areas, you must choose a variety known as ‘unifère’( it only produces one flush of fruits per year) and early. The variety ‘Ronde de Bordeaux’ is the best in that case. If you only grow a Fig tree for its decorative aspect, it is of course a different matter. In areas where winter temperatures do not go below -8°C and at altitudes below 500 m, all varieties can be grown without needing protection.

Does it need pruning?
It is not necessary to prune a Fig tree in order to get harvests, unlike the classic fruiting species (apples, pears…) but it not forbidden to do so, if for example, it does take out too much space or if it takes on a shape which does not pleases you. Here are the possible pruning’s that can be done on Fig trees:
- To grow it as a tree: let the main trunk grow upright and cut right back all the growths which grow from the base.
- To grow it as a shrub: let 3 to 5 growths from the base (in this case select a young specimen and not a young tree which already has a main stem). Cut out all the other shootings.
- To limit its height: pollard the stems 50 cm below the maximum wished- size, always at the axil of a branch (never in the middle of a non-branched one).
- To limit its spread: shorten the side stems, cutting them at the axil of a branch you want to keep.

Creative Fig trees
The Fig tree is a tree which happily lends itself to the shape you want to give it. For example, you can train the branches against a wall as if it was a climbing rose. In this way, it benefits from the wall’s warmth and is sheltered from cold wind. The Fig tree can also be trained like Blackberry bushes, as a tray-shape. You need a Fig tree which has a single, high enough trunk. Spread out 4 branches horizontally in a cross-shape, training them on thick wires stretched out between stakes. Then cut the branches so as to only keep the ones which form an umbrella shape.
