Planting & Care

Sunlight: Plant in full sun to ensure the best fruit production. The more sunlight it receives, the sweeter the fruit will be.

Soil: Black Mission Figs prefer well-draining soil. While they tolerate a variety of soil types, they thrive in slightly acidic to neutral conditions.

Watering: Water deeply during the first year to establish strong roots. Once mature, Black Mission Figs are drought-tolerant and only need occasional watering during dry periods.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Simply remove any dead or damaged branches and shape the tree in late winter or early spring to maintain its size.

Cold Protection: In zones colder than 7, consider growing your fig in a container or providing winter protection, as temperatures below 20°F can damage the tree.

Get Superior Black Mission Fig Trees, Grown by Experts

Stronger Roots for Faster Growth: Some nurseries ship “bare root” trees to cut costs, but this can lead to transplant shock and slow establishment. We send your Black Mission Fig Tree in a soil-filled container, ensuring a well-developed root system that promotes vigorous growth and earlier fruit production.

Healthy Roots, Thriving Trees: Many growers use undersized pots, creating root-bound trees that struggle to absorb water and nutrients. Our Black Mission Fig Trees are grown in spacious containers, allowing their roots to expand properly so they arrive strong, healthy, and ready to flourish.

True-to-Size Guarantee: Some nurseries measure trees including the pot and roots, meaning their “3-4 ft.” tree may be significantly shorter when planted. We measure from the soil line up, ensuring your Black Mission Fig Tree meets the advertised height upon arrival.

Authentic Black Mission Variety: Some fig trees grown from seed may produce unpredictable fruit. Our Black Mission Fig Trees are expertly propagated to ensure you receive the true variety, known for its rich, sweet flavor, high yields, and adaptability to a variety of growing conditions.

  • Compact and Ornamental: With its moderate size (15-30 feet), the Black Mission Fig can fit comfortably in most yards. Its broad, deeply lobed leaves provide a lush, ornamental look.
  • Low-Maintenance and Drought-Tolerant: This fig tree thrives in warmer climates (USDA Zones 7-10) and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a great choice for low-maintenance landscaping.

Ideal Placement and Uses

The Black Mission Fig is versatile in both placement and use, enhancing your yard with beauty and functionality:
