Planting & Care

Plant Little Miss Figgy™ fig trees in a sunny location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. When planting in the ground, dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and plant at the same depth as the nursery container. For container growing, choose a pot with good drainage that is slightly larger than the root ball and use a high-quality potting mix. Water regularly during establishment, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry between watering. Once established, this fig tree is relatively drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance.
