Fig

Botanical Name: Ficus carica

Other Names: Edible Fig, Common Fig, تين عادي, Anjeer, פיקוס התאנה

Figs produce deliciously sweet fruits that are rich in potassium, calcium, and other dietary fibers. They are easy to plant in both garden and containers. This small fruit tree or large shrub can tolerate short periods of seasonal drought due to its large deep roots.

Growing Tips:

Put your fig tree at a spot where it can receive around 6-8 hours of direct sun. It prefers warm climatic conditions, but go for more cold-hardy varieties such as Chicago Hardy if you live in colder regions.
