'Little Miss Figgy' stays around 1 metre tall, which means you can grow it on a patio or terrace without needing a half-barrel-sized pot and the structural engineering to go with it. It's a genuinely useful variety for anyone who wants a fig but doesn't have a south-facing wall or a large garden to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to Syria and Persia and grown in Britain since Roman times, figs do best in warmth and sunshine. Being in a container already does half the work for you - figs fruit better when their roots are somewhat restricted, which container growing naturally achieves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is also known as the Common Fig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in well-drained compost in a sheltered position. Water regularly through the growing season. Feed with a high-potassium fertiliser monthly from spring through summer. In winter, move to a frost-free spot or protect well - container figs are more vulnerable than those planted in the ground. Note: the sap can irritate the skin - wear gloves when pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecorative pot not included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beards \u0026 Daisies","offers":[{"title":"40-50cm","offer_id":55550368416120,"sku":"W08277","price":14.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8970\/4482\/files\/3_025665f6-8a39-4e77-ad3d-6ea029959025.jpg?v=1778252373","url":"https:\/\/www.beardsanddaisies.co.uk\/products\/fig-tree-miss-figgy","provider":"Beards \u0026 Daisies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
