Compact Fig Perfect for Smaller Spaces
Figalicious is an excellent choice for gardeners who love figs but have limited room. Its naturally compact growth makes it easier to accommodate in suburban gardens and courtyards, while it can also perform very well in a large container.
For best fruit production, position the plant where it receives plenty of direct sunlight.
Growing Ficus carica ‘Figalicious’
Plant Figalicious in full sun and fertile, free-draining soil. Water regularly while establishing and maintain consistent moisture while fruit is developing, particularly during Melbourne’s warmer summer weather.
Apply organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture, but keep mulch away from direct contact with the trunk.
Growing Figalicious in Pots
The compact habit of Figalicious makes it particularly well suited to large pots and containers. Choose a generously sized container with excellent drainage and use a premium-quality potting mix.
Container-grown figs require more frequent watering than plants grown in the ground, particularly during hot weather and while carrying fruit.
Pruning Figalicious Fig
Figs respond well to pruning and Figalicious can easily be maintained at a convenient harvesting height. Prune to remove unwanted, damaged or congested branches and to maintain an open, balanced framework.
Its compact growth also makes harvesting and general maintenance considerably easier than with a large traditional fig tree.
Grow Delicious Figs in Your Own Garden
Ficus carica Figalicious combines productive fruiting with space-saving growth, making it an excellent choice for modern gardens. Whether planted in the ground or grown in a large decorative pot, it provides attractive foliage, delicious home-grown fruit and plenty of seasonal interest.
