Italian Edible Fig: Ficus carica – 10 inch square pot – 3 foot tall

Ficus carica, the Common Fig, is a sun-loving Mediterranean plant prized for its distinctive 3-5 lobed, rough green foliage and sweet, pear-shaped fruit. To thrive, its best kept outdoors during the summer months to soak up maximum light. For those with a “green thumb,” overwintering the plant indoors requires a very bright spot with plenty of sun and high humidity to keep it healthy until the next growing season.
