Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Little Miss™ Figgy Tree

Planting Instructions for Little Miss™ Figgy Fig Tree

  1. Location and Soil Preparation:
    Little Miss™ Figgy thrives in full sun, needing at least 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. Select a location with well-drained soil, ideally loamy, and rich in organic matter. Fig trees prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.5). If your soil is heavy clay or poorly drained, amend it with compost or sand to improve drainage.
  2. Planting Process:

Care Instructions

  1. Watering: Water the fig tree deeply once a week during its first growing season to help it establish a strong root system. Once established, Little Miss™ Figgy is somewhat drought-tolerant, but regular watering during dry periods, especially during fruiting, will improve the quality and yield of the fruit.
  2. Fertilization: Feed your fig tree in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (such as 10-10-10), or work in organic compost to enrich the soil. Avoid over-fertilizing, as too much nitrogen can lead to lush foliage but reduce fruit production. Fertilize lightly throughout the growing season if necessary.
  3. Monitoring for Issues: Keep an eye out for pests such as aphids, scale insects, or spider mites, which can be treated with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Root rot can occur in poorly drained soil, so ensure the tree is planted in well-draining soil and avoid overwatering.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  1. Pruning: Little Miss™ Figgy Fig trees require minimal pruning. However, pruning in late winter or early spring (while the tree is dormant) helps shape the tree and remove dead or damaged branches. Focus on keeping the tree's open structure to allow sunlight and air circulation, which encourages healthy growth and abundant fruiting.
  2. Pest and Disease Control: Fig trees are relatively pest-resistant, but if you notice pests like aphids or scale, treat them early with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases like root rot, and ensure good airflow by properly spacing plants and keeping the area weed-free.
  3. Winter Care: Little Miss™ Figgy is hardy in USDA zones 7–10 but may need protection in colder climates. If you live in a region where temperatures drop below 10°F, cover the tree with frost cloth or burlap during the winter. Mulching heavily around the base will insulate the roots from cold snaps. For colder zones, consider planting it in a container so you can bring it indoors during the winter months.

Harvesting Information

  1. Harvest Timing: Little Miss™ Figgy produces small to medium-sized figs that ripen in late summer to early fall. The figs are ready to harvest when they soften and droop slightly from the stem. The skin will also change from green to a deep purple or burgundy color.
  2. How to Harvest: Gently twist or cut the figs from the tree when they are fully ripe. Handle with care as figs bruise easily. They are best eaten fresh, but they can also be dried or used in jams and preserves.
  3. Harvest Frequency: Figs don’t all ripen at once, so check your tree every few days during the harvest season. Regularly harvesting ripe figs encourages continued fruiting.

Additional Tips for Little Miss™ Figgy

  1. Container Growing: Little Miss™ Figgy is an excellent choice for container gardening due to its compact size. Choose a large container (at least 18–24 inches in diameter) with good drainage holes. Use a high-quality potting mix, and make sure to water regularly, as container-grown trees dry out faster than those planted in the ground.
  2. Fruiting Cycle: This fig tree often produces two crops per year – a smaller "breba" crop on old wood in early summer, followed by a larger main crop on new growth in late summer or early fall. Pruning can help stimulate more growth and larger main crop production.
  3. Mulching: Mulching around the base of your fig tree helps retain moisture and regulates soil temperature. It also prevents weeds from competing with the tree for nutrients. Refresh mulch annually to keep the soil healthy.

With these tips, your Little Miss™ Figgy Fig tree will thrive, providing delicious fruit and making a beautiful addition to your landscape or patio. Let me know if you need further assistance!

Beware- not all Little Miss™ Figgy Trees are the same.

Be sure to get superior fruit trees, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" fruit trees to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Little Miss™ Figgy Trees in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that is ready to grow and produce!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall fruit trees in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" tree, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy tree.

Little Miss™ Figgy gives you rich, sweet homegrown figs from a dwarf tree that fits on a patio or in a small garden.

  • Rich, sweet figs with deep purple skin and a juicy, strawberry-colored inside
  • Dwarf size: just 4-6 ft. tall and 3-4 ft. wide- perfect for containers
  • Self-fertile- one tree is all you need, often with two crops a year
  • Grows in zones 5-10- in colder zones, grow it in a pot or give it winter protection

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

A full, branched Nationwide Plants tree in a nursery pot next to a thin bare-root tree with exposed roots Ours: container grown Theirs: bare root
Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out
Before shipping Growing naturally until it ships Held dormant in a cooler, then shocked by a hot shipping box
Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure plants including the pot and roots, so the plant you receive is much smaller than you expected. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Little Miss™ Figgy Trees Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship thin, underdeveloped fruit trees grown in tiny pots to save money. These weak, "root bound" trees can spend years recovering before they give you a real harvest.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Little Miss™ Figgy Trees, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed roots. A strong start helps your tree settle in quickly and begin bearing fruit sooner.

What do Little Miss Figgy figs taste like?

Little Miss Figgy figs are rich and sweet, with thin, deep purple skin and a juicy, strawberry-colored interior. They are delicious eaten fresh right off the tree and are also great for baking, jams, preserves, or drying for snacks. Handle ripe figs gently, as they bruise easily.

Do you need two Little Miss Figgy trees to get fruit?

No, you need only one Little Miss Figgy tree to get fruit. Common figs like this one are self-fertile and do not need a pollination partner, so a single tree on a patio or in a small garden can produce a generous harvest on its own.

How much sun does a Little Miss Figgy fig need?

Little Miss Figgy grows best in full sun, with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best fruit production. It tolerates some partial shade, but more sun means sweeter figs and heavier crops. On a patio, place the container in your sunniest spot.

How often should I water a Little Miss Figgy fig tree?

Water a Little Miss Figgy fig tree deeply once a week during its first growing season. Once established it is fairly drought tolerant, but regular watering during dry periods, especially while fruit is forming, improves fig quality and yield. Avoid soggy soil, since poor drainage can cause root rot.

How do I prune a Little Miss Figgy fig?

Little Miss Figgy needs only minimal pruning. While the tree is dormant in late winter or early spring, remove dead or damaged branches and keep an open structure so light and air reach the center. Light pruning can also stimulate new growth that carries the main crop of figs.

Is Little Miss Figgy toxic to dogs and cats?

Yes, fig trees are considered toxic to dogs and cats. The milky sap in the leaves and stems can irritate the mouth, skin, and digestive tract if a pet chews on the plant. Keep container figs out of reach of curious pets, and contact your veterinarian if you notice drooling, vomiting, or skin irritation.
