Planting & Care

Plant your Little Miss Figgy in a location that receives full sun exposure for best fruiting and flavor development. Choose well-draining soil and ensure the planting site offers protection from harsh winter winds, particularly in cooler growing zones. Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Container-grown trees benefit from periodic fertilizing during the growing months. Figs do not continue to ripen after harvest, so pick fruit when fully colored and enjoy within a few days for peak sweetness and texture.
