Grow a Fig Tree Anywhere! | Here She Grows

Figs are notoriously huge plants, making them incredibly difficult to grow in small spaces. When I heard about Fignomenal fig, I couldn't resist the temptation to grow something meant for small space gardeners like us! You can even keep it as a houseplant in your sunniest window where it's supposed to be everbearing throughout the year.
I ordered my fig from Burpee and it arrived very tiny. Don't be discouraged, it grows fast and fruits the very first year. I planted mine in a three-gallon Smart Pot. Links to both are below...

I'm so sorry, Gina, for the delayed response. And thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. They're always appreciated.

Fignominal is a good plant but I would just like to mention that for me (in central CT} Little Miss Figgy fruits better.

[@heatherhereshegrows]

Good to know! I’ll have to look into that one, thanks!

I love this sweet fig tree, the problem I have with bringing it in for the winter, is light👎🏻 I’m curious what you use the figs for, honestly I don’t think I’ve ever tasted the actual fruit( unless you count Fig Newtons😊

Hi. Use grow lights. Look up .. Fig benefits .. and .. figs taste. I love them myself. Cheers to good health!

[@heatherhereshegrows]

This one can be grown as a houseplant in your brightest window or under grow lights.
I love eating them right off the tree and hope to make fig jam once I have enough, hopefully in the next few years.
