Standard Fig Ficus carica 130-150cm - 5L

Figs are large shrubs or small trees grown for their succulent fruit and beautiful architectural foliage. They thrive in the garden, in a container, in glasshouses or trained against a wall. Altough figs can cope with dry conditions, drought can cause fruit to drop before it ripens, especially if the developing fruit suffers from lack of water early in the growing season. Water plants regularly during the summer season, but do not over water while the fruit is ripening, as this may cause the fruit to split. Container grown plants are more vulnerable to lack of water.
