## Overview

Beer's Black Fig Tree 4-pack offers four live Ficus Carica starter plants that produce delicious, self-fruitful figs requiring 6-8 hours of full sun. Ideal for USDA zones 6-9, these drought-tolerant trees grow 10-20 feet tall and thrive in well-drained, neutral pH soil. Perfect for millennial gardeners seeking a historic, low-maintenance fruit tree to elevate their patio or garden with fresh, homegrown figs.

## Description

These iconic plants produce delicious fruit with flavors best experienced ripe from the tree. Unlike other fruits, figs ripen entirely on the branch, so planting your own allows you to harvest the freshest fruit. The common fig tree, thriving in warm climates, does not require pollination to bear new fruit. Figs are self-fruitful, so you need only one plant to produce fruit. Mature fig trees can be 10 to 30 feet tall. If you have more room, plant several. Choose early, mid and late-fruiting selections to extend your harvest from summer into early fall. Some figs will produce bonus fruit early in the season, called a "breba" crop and the main crop. Figs can vary in size, shape, flavor, texture, and harvest time and can be black, green, brown, violet, yellow, or purple. Full sun is essential for an abundant harvest and the sweetest fruit. It's ideal for planting fig trees in an area that receives six to eight hours of direct, daily sunlight. Less sunlight will prevent trees from producing as many figs compared to those planted with adequate light. Fig trees grow in various soil conditions, but slightly acidic and well-drained soils are best. Soil with rich, organic matter helps supplement growth. Regular potting mixes work well for fig trees as long as it retains moisture and is well-aerated. These plants grow well near coastal regions but also tolerate loamy, clay, or sandy conditions. When fruit is developing, it's important to water regularly. Check daily, and pick just as the fruit ripens. During the first year, as plants become established, water regularly and mulch. Once established, figs can be very drought tolerant.

Review: Smaller than I expected. - March 30,2024 I received the Black Mission, Olympia, Violette, and the Celeste Fig plants. They came in these thimble sized plant pots. I move them to gallon pots. The plants look to be about six inches tall. The Celeste fig and the Olympia fig don't look so good. I am trying to keep them alive. Wish me luck! Update April 14, 2024 The Celeste Fig had lost all of its leaves in March. The latest pic there are new leaves 🍃 on Celeste Fig. It is making a come back. The other fig plants look similar to March update. Therefore, no updated pics. Update July 16, 2024 All fig plants look healthy and surviving the 98 degree weather. The Celeste fig is still smaller than the rest, but doing well. Olympia is doing the best (orange pot)!
Review: Tiny, dying plant, be aware ! - The fig tree I received is extremely small only about an inch tall, with yellowed, dried up leaves , Instead of four pots, as shown in the advertise, I it comes with one tiny pot with 4 tiny dying plants. This is a completely unacceptable, kind of scam like item. Beaware!

## Features

- A Taste of History: Delight in a treat that has captivated palates for centuries. The fig's legacy spans back to 5000 B.C., making it one of the world's earliest domesticated crops. Let its rich history take your taste buds on an enchanting journey through time.
- Fig trees flourish in rich, moist, and well drained soil with a nuetral pH. They can handle moderate salinity, but highly acidic soils are not recommended. Mature trees usually range from 10-20 feet tall and can grow up to 20 feet wide.
- Fig trees are drought-tolerant but appreciate consistent moisture during fruitful seasons. Adequate mulching will ensure moisture retention, supporting lush fig growth.
- Thriving in direct sunlight, fig trees need 6-8 hours of sunlight per day and do best within USDA hardiness zone of 6-9.
- Ficus Carica prefer semi-arid climates with warm temperatures and light spring rains. Excessive watering during fruit ripening can hurt the crop.
