FIG TREE

Every garden should have a fig tree. These iconic plants produce delicious fruit with flavors best experienced ripe from the tree. Unlike other fruits, figs ripen entirely on the branch, so planting your own allows you to harvest the freshest fruit. The common fig tree, thriving in warm climates, does not require pollination to bear new fruit. Depending on the variety, specific fig trees need pollinators, so check the type before planting your own to know its growing conditions.
