Collection: Fig Trees

Looking for fig trees for sale? Fig trees (Ficus carica) are a favorite for home gardens because they’re easy to grow, love warm sun, and can thrive in the ground or in large containers on patios. Browse our current selection of potted fig trees and choose the variety that fits your space, climate, and harvest goals.

Good to know: Most home-garden fig varieties are “common figs” that can set fruit without pollination, so you typically only need one tree to get started.

How to Choose the Right Fig Tree

• Patio or small-space growing: Choose a variety that performs well in containers and plan on full sun.
• In-ground planting: Pick a sunny, well-drained site and give the tree room to grow; pruning can help keep size manageable.
• Harvest timing: Some figs can produce an early breba crop on last year’s wood plus a main crop on new growth.
• Winter cold: In colder regions, container growing makes it easier to protect the tree through winter.

Fig Tree Care Basics

• Sun: Aim for 6–8 hours of direct sun daily.
• Soil: Well-drained soil is key; avoid soggy sites.
• Water: Water deeply, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings (especially in containers).
• Pruning: Prune to shape, remove dead wood, and improve airflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need two fig trees to get fruit?

Usually no. Most common fig varieties can set fruit without pollination, so one tree is typically enough to produce.

Can I grow a fig tree in a pot?

Yes. Many fig trees do well in large containers as long as they get full sun, consistent watering, and well-drained potting mix.

How much sun do fig trees need?

Fig trees perform best with full sun—about 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

What is a breba crop?

A breba crop is an early set of figs that forms on last season’s growth. Some varieties may produce both a breba crop and a main crop.

When are figs ready to harvest?

Figs are typically ready when they soften slightly and detach easily. Harvest timing depends on variety and local weather.

How do I protect a fig tree in winter?

In colder climates, container-grown figs can be moved to a protected area. In-ground trees may benefit from mulching and winter protection around the trunk.
