Figs trees are generally pest and disease-free. Cover your tree with netting if birds are stealing or damaging the fruit. Figs can be grown in USDA plant hardiness zones 8 to 10 in full to partial sun conditions. Expect your tree to reach between 12 to 15 feet tall with a spread of 8 to 10 feet when fully grown. This tree is self-fertile and will typically begin to bear fruit the first year it’s planted. Plant this tree to create a focal point in your garden or as part of a home orchard. It also makes a good container plant especially if you want to grow figs in a colder climate and have a warm place to store the container over the winter. This fig will reach between 8 and 15 feet in height at maturity but can be pruned to a smaller size for easier harvest or to conserve garden space.
Fig Spacing
Space multiple trees 8 to 10 feet apart, center on center. This allows enough room for the trees to have enough air circulation and sunlight. And it also allows you enough room to walk around the tree and harvest the fruit.
