Tiger Panache Fig Tree
Sub-tropical, drought tolerant fruit tree. Figs are possibly the very first domesticated fruit. There is evidence of fig cultivation as early as 4,000 B.C. The sweetest figs develop when the daytime temperature regularly exceeds 95°F. Figs thrive in most soil types, as long as it’s well-drained, and they will fruit in a variety of climates. They need hardly any cold period to produce fruit. Mature trees are hardy to 15°F. Will re-grow from roots if winter-killed. Mature standard trees grow to 25′ tall and 40′ wide if not pruned, dwarf trees can get 12-15′ tall. Figs need warm soil for their roots to start growing. Figs do not like to be planted as bare-roots and are difficult to establish, so we sell these No. 1 size trees (about 1/4″-3/8″ caliper) in pots (4″ x 4″ x 9″) to enhance their survival rate. Trees are 1 year old and should begin to fruit in same year you plant them.
