Planting & repotting / Fruit trees / Fig tree

The FIG TREE is a fruit tree with a long life (over 300 years), not very hardy, its branches not being able to withstand cold below -10°C. This very beautiful tree is ornamental with its cut foliage, dark shiny green and its leaves reaching 20 to 30 cm long, alternate, palmate and deeply lobed. They have an interesting nutritional value with a supply of vitamin B, fiber and mineral elements, especially potassium. Native to Afghanistan and Syria, the FIG TREE is planted in spring and harvested from June to November. It can reach up to 10 meters in height. All soils are suitable for this tree, preferably draining, light and warm. On the other hand, the exposure must be sunny, warm and sheltered from icy winter winds.
