A hardy, medium sized, fast growing fig suited to a range of climates from dry, arid inland areas to the coastal sub-tropics. Prefers free draining neutral soil, enriched with compost and slow release fertilise in a warm sunny position. Mulch well. Self pollinating. Supplementary watering during fruiting recommended. Plant figs in full sun in a soil enriched with decomposed manure and compost, preferably with a neutral pH. While tolerant of most soils, figs require adequate drainage and dislike wet or waterlogged sites. Mediterranean plants, figs will tolerate periods of dry soil, but  this may reduce cropping. Stake at planting and protect from strong winds which will damage the fragile branches. Mulch well at planting.
