Little Miss Figgy™ Tree FAQs

How does Little Miss Figgy taste?

It carries the flavor of its parent 'Violette de Bordeaux' which is deeply sweet and berry-rich, with a smooth, jam-like red flesh inside dark purple-black skin. It is considered one of the best-tasting figs for fresh eating, and the same quality makes it excellent dried or cooked.

Do I need a second plant to get figs?

No. Little Miss Figgy is self-fruitful, so a single plant will set a full crop on its own with no pollinator and no second variety nearby.

Can I really grow it in a container or in a cold climate?

Yes, its compact four to six ft. size makes it one of the best figs for pots. In zones 5 through 7, growing it in a large container lets you move it into an unheated garage or shed over winter. In-ground plants in cold zones may die back to the base in a hard winter but typically resprout in spring.

How soon will it bear fruit?

Figs are quick to fruit compared with most fruit trees, and young plants often set a small crop within the first year or two once they have settled in. Expect production to build as the plant establishes a strong root system.

Why is my fig dropping unripe fruit or yellowing leaves?

The usual culprits are inconsistent watering or cold stress. Figs drop immature fruit and yellow their leaves when they swing between dry and soggy soil, so aim for steady, even moisture, especially in containers. A sudden cold snap or transplant shock can cause the same response; the plant generally recovers as conditions stabilize.

When and how do I harvest?

Harvest in summer, and only pick figs that are fully ripe. A ripe fig feels soft, hangs and bends down on its stem, and often shows a small drop of nectar at the eye. Figs will not ripen further after picking, so leave firm fruit on the plant until it is ready.
