Common Fig (Ficus Carica) - Full standard (180-200cm clear stem)

Ficus Carica, commonly known as the Common Fig, is a highly valued deciduous fruit tree that combines both ornamental and productive qualities. Well suited to gardens of all sizes, Ficus Carica provides a bold architectural form and abundant foliage in summer, helping to create natural screening or a structural focal point. These trees can be trained as single standards or multi-stemmed specimens and develop a broad, spreading canopy with large, attractive leaves. In addition to its striking presence in the landscape, Ficus Carica produces sweet, edible fruit in late summer and early autumn, making it both beautiful and productive. The tree’s vigorous growth and lush foliage bring seasonal interest and texture to borders, orchard areas, or dedicated fruit gardens. Ficus Carica thrives in warm, well-drained soils and suits a range of garden styles from formal to Mediterranean-inspired landscapes.
