Care Instructions

- Sunlight: Requires full sun (6–8 hours daily) for optimal growth and fruit production.
- Watering: Water deeply during the growing season, allowing the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer for vigorous growth and fruiting.
- Pruning: Prune annually in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak branches and maintain shape.
- Winter Protection: In cooler zones, mulch around the base and wrap the tree with frost blankets or burlap to protect it during winter. For container-grown figs, move indoors or to a sheltered location.

How to Plant
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.

Customer Reviews
My original order was damaged and you sent out a replacement immediately. I’m very happy with the second fig tree and would definitely buy again from your company.
Just received my little Olympian Fig today. It was packed well and was very healthy. It's been super cold here in Utah and I wasn't quite sure how well it would look when it came, but it was fantastic. Super stoked to add this to my collection.
Two fig trees I ordered arrived much more developed than I anticipated. They were taller, thicker, more branches and lots of leaves than I expected. Both had a sizeable root ball and had been carefully well packed in heavy cardboard standing containers. They were shipped in a timely manner for a very fair shipping charge.
Thank you Plant Me Green team!

This tree was so healthy when it arrived! It had several figs already on it. I would not hesitate to order from this company again. They have excellent customer service, and the tree arrived quickly. Thank you so much!
