It is of the common variety of fig meaning it does not require pollination or another plant to develop and mature fruit. Our plants are between 3 to 8 inches in height, but during dormancy they can be a bit shorter considering leaves make up some of the plant's height. Overview: Average mature height: 8 - 10 feet. | Soil: Will not tolerate excessively wet soil but needs ample moisture during fruiting. | Light: Full sun. | Zones: 7 - 10. | Can be grown indoors. | In the fall and winter, figs ship dormant with no leaves. The leaves will re-emerge in spring. Our figs are grown by tissue culture from mature cells, which is a superior method that produces healthier plants that can fruit much sooner than if they were grown by seed. None of our figs are grown from seed; the narrow stems indicate that they are grown from this premium tissue culture method and within months can grow large and robust.
