Fig

The fig tree (Ficus carica) is one of the most valued fruit trees, known since antiquity for its delicious fruit and medicinal properties. Also called the tree of longevity and health, it is not only a beautiful element for the garden, but also a source of beneficial nutrients. Figs are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and their leaves have proven medicinal properties widely used in folk medicine.

How is a fig grown?

Growing figs is easy as long as the right conditions are provided. It prefers a warm climate, sunny locations and well-drained soil. Planting can be done in spring or autumn. Fig trees are surprisingly adaptable and tolerate different climatic conditions and soil types perfectly. They usually flower in warmer climates, but can also thrive in colder regions. However, we advise that you choose a location with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal fruit production.

Here are some basic steps for successful growing:

1. Site selection - Likes full sun and needs well-drained soil.
2. Watering - Although it is drought tolerant, regular watering in the hot months helps growth and fertility.
3. Fertilization - Organic fertilizers help for a richer and sweeter yield.
4. Pruning - Important for shaping the crown and stimulating new growth.
