Fig Tree (Potted)

Fig Tree is a rewarding, low fuss choice for anyone wanting to grow their own fruit at home, giving sweet figs after just one or two growing seasons. It comes in a 35cm pot and stands 60 to 80cm tall.

It likes full sun and can handle UAE summer heat well once it is established, making it suitable for a garden bed, large terrace pot, or a sunny courtyard.

Water it 2 to 3 times a week, more often in peak summer, and less in the cooler months. It naturally slows down and may drop some leaves in winter, which is normal, and it will leaf out again strongly once the weather warms up.
