‘Fignomenal’ Fig Tree, Ficus carica, is a compact dwarf variety that’s perfect for smaller gardens and growing in containers. This compact fig reaches 30 inches tall and wide. It is self-fertile so it does not need another plant to produce the deliciously sweet fruit. The fruit has a brown outer skin with a bright pinkish-red center. Delicious and used in so many ways, including salads, pies, and jams, this heavy-fruiting variety will supply you with plenty of figs to try in new recipes.
Fignomenal Fig Tree Care
Plant Fignomenal in a full sun location, where it receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Plant in well-draining soil rich in organic garden compost. If you live in a cooler climate, you can plant Fignomenal Fig Tree in a lightweight container to move indoors over the winter.
Growing Fignomenal Fig Tree
With added protection, Fignomenal Fig Tree can grow outdoors year-round in zones 8-11; be sure to mulch the root zone to help insulate the tree. In zones 4-7, Fignomenal will need to be brought indoors. Whether planted in the garden or a container, this tree requires well-draining soil rich in organic matter, regular feeding, and a sunny location with ideally over 6 hours of sunlight to produce fruit.
In the fall, bring your tree indoors before temperatures drop below 60 degrees F. The leaves may naturally drop off as a reaction to cooler weather and light changes, so give this tree a brief time to adjust to the indoor climate. Fignomenal Fig Tree may produce fruit indoors in the right environment. Prune when necessary to maintain its shape.
Watering Fignomenal Fig Tree
Water deeply, hitting the roots, and watch the soil so it doesn’t get too dry. Check the soil often to maintain adequate moisture levels, particularly in the warm summer season or if it's in an area exposed to drying winds.
Feeding Fignomenal Fig Tree
Fertilize Fignomenal Fig Tree with a high nitrogen formula once a month in early spring and early summer, especially if grown in a container. Mulching with a thin layer of organic compost will help feed plants and retain soil moisture. Do not fertilize this tree in the winter.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
