Like other common figs, it is self-fertile and thrives in full sun with sharp drainage. A superb choice for gardeners who want something a little more special than ordinary dark figs.

Planting & Care Guide
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil — figs dislike wet feet and will not tolerate waterlogging. Avoid rich, overly fertilised soils as this encourages excessive leafy growth at the expense of fruit. They grow very well in containers.
Figs need very little feeding. A light application of pelletised manure in spring is usually sufficient. Too much nitrogen produces large, soft fruit that splits easily.
Prune lightly in winter when dormant to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning as figs bear fruit on old and new wood.
Water consistently but sparingly — allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, especially in winter. In containers, reduce watering significantly in winter when the tree is dormant.
