Meet the Ficus Carica, better known as the fig tree, which flaunts its graceful leaves and if you're lucky, figs.

Origin

The Ficus Carica originates from the Mediterranean region and has been cherished for centuries for its lush growth and delicious fruits. With its characteristic looks, this tree adds a touch of Mediterranean beauty to any garden or patio.

Care

To get the best out of your Ficus Carica, place it in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. While this tree is tolerant to drought, it needs regular watering, especially during dry periods and when the fruits are ripening. The warmer and sunnier the spot for the Ficus Carica, the more fruits you can expect.

Ensure that the soil remains evenly moist, but avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot.

The Ficus Carica is a stunning addition that will transform your outdoor space.

Tip! Protect the tree during severe frost by bringing it indoors or covering it with cloths or fleece.
