Planting & Care

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!

Why Choose Our Little Miss™ Figgy Trees?

Stronger Roots Make for Sweeter Figs
Some growers ship bare-root trees to save on costs, which often results in transplant shock and slow growth. We deliver our Little Miss™ Figgy Trees in large, soil-filled containers that protect and support a fully developed root system. This gives your fig tree the strong start it needs to establish quickly and produce fruit sooner.

No Stunted Setbacks
It’s common to see fig trees grown in undersized pots to cut corners, leading to root-bound or growth stunted plants that struggle to thrive. Our Little Miss™ Figgy Trees are cultivated in roomy containers, allowing their roots to develop naturally and avoid becoming undersized and tangled. This ensures they efficiently absorb water and nutrients for healthier growth and higher fruit yields.

Honest Measurements, Real Impact
Some nurseries measure their trees from the base of the pot, giving a false impression of height. We measure our Little Miss™ Figgy Trees from the soil line up, so when we promise a 3-4 foot tree, you can trust it’ll deliver that size in your landscape, making an immediate visual and productive impact.

Grown True for Reliable Harvests
While other fig trees may be grown from seed, resulting in unpredictable fruit quality and growth habits, our Little Miss™ Figgy Trees are propagated from superior parent stock. This guarantees compact, productive trees with the delicious, deep purple figs that make this variety so popular.
