Common Fig. A deciduous shrub with handsome foliage of large deeply lobed deep green leaves. Minute petal-less flowers are contained in a hollowed-out receptacle, which enlarges to form edible fruit. Height 3m. Spread 4m. Fruits from August to September. Restrict root growth for increased fruiting.
Reliably weather tolerant within the UK. An excellent and hardy, self-fertile fig. Moderately vigorous without taking over, the large three to five lobed green, scented leaves surround prolific sweet, tasty, late summer fruit ripening to a lustrous purple, light red inside with an aromatic flavour.
A naturally compact fig, bred specifically for its dwarfing habit, 'Miss Figgy' is ideal for smaller spaces. Its foliage looks just the same as the larger species, but it forms on smaller, well-balanced plants, which are perfect for the patio.
Easy to maintain this compact tree will produce large fruit between July and August. Grow against a south or west-facing wall to prevent the top-growth from being killed off in strong, cold winds. Restricting the spread of the roots in the ground or growing in a pot helps to encourage a plentiful display of fruit. A prolific, reliable cropper that can be trained as an espalier and becomes drought tolerant once established.
