FIGS
Exposure:
Full sun. Zone 7-10.
Protect figs from winter winds, in a south-aspected location.
Soil: For best production, moist and well-drained soils, though figs
are quite drought tolerant once established. Avoid poorly-draining
winter soils.
Growth habits:
Heat and drought tolerant,
will reach 10 to 15 feet at maturity, but can be maintained at around
6 feet with regular pruning. Figs are stem hardy to around 10 degrees
F and root hardy to -20 degrees F. They grow quite well at lower elevations
in the Southern Appalachians.
Landscape uses:
Figs are beautiful
shrubs with a distinct leaf pattern, few pests or disease problems,
and delicious, alluring fruit. Because of their preference for warmth,
they are excellent plants to put against south-facing walls of every
type. Protect from winter winds.
Edible/Medicinal properties:
Figs produce abundant,
sweet fruit that can be purplish, dark brown, green, or yellow when
ripe. After a mild winter, fruit production begins in late June, otherwise
expect a fall fruit crop.
