Fignomenal Dwarf Fig

Fignomenal Dwarf Fig brings full-size fig flavor to patios, small gardens, and edible landscapes in an exceptionally compact plant. This self-fertile selection forms a tidy mound about 2 to 3 feet tall and wide and produces sweet, medium-size figs with deep brown skin and pink-red flesh. Grow it in full sun and well-drained soil, and keep container plants evenly watered during hot weather. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
