Exposure: Full sun. Zone 7-10. Protect figs from winter winds, in a south-aspected location.
Soil: For best production, moist and well-drained soils, though figs are quite drought tolerant once established. Avoid poorly-draining winter soils.
Growth habits: Heat and drought tolerant, will reach 10 to 15 feet at maturity, but can be maintained at around 6 feet with regular pruning. Figs are stem hardy to around 10 degrees F and root hardy to -20 degrees F. They grow quite well at lower elevations in the Southern Appalachians.
Landscape uses: Figs are beautiful shrubs with a distinct leaf pattern, few pests or disease problems, and delicious, alluring fruit. Because of their preference for warmth, they are excellent plants to put against south-facing walls of every type. Protect from winter winds.
Edible/Medicinal properties: Figs produce abundant, sweet fruit that can be purplish, dark brown, green, or yellow when ripe. After a mild winter, fruit production begins in late June, otherwise expect a fall fruit crop.
