Fignominal Dwarf Fig - added from Etsy store Salty Acres September 2023

Stephanie Cohen Fine Gardening – Issue 208
https://www.finegardening.com/...
This reliable compact fig grows no larger than 3 feet tall and wide, making it ideally suited for life in a container within an urban garden, on a patio, or even in a sunroom.

Fignomenal®produces interesting broad, palmate, and lobed leaves. In spring it develops not-so-ornamental greenish flowers and small hollow receptacles near the branch tips. In late summer or fall, you are in for a great surprise when fruit grows from each receptacle. It does this on new wood and parthenocarpically—which means you don't need two to tango, as the fruit develops without cross-pollination. However, having two increases fruit production.

The fruit ripens to a deep brown outer skin and a rich pink center. I think the taste is simply delectable, juicy, and luscious. I like to eat my figs straight from the tree, but they are also great when used in jam or jelly, sliced for salads, or in a combo with cheese. They're a nutritious and delicious bounty no matter how you serve them.

For the best performance, give Fignomenal® four to eight hours of full sun per day. If planting it directly in the ground, make sure it is in well-drained, good garden loam. Make your planting hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. For containers, select a pot that is twice the width of your plant. Make sure it has adequate drainage holes and a good organic mix, and place it inside or outside in a sunny location. It prefers average moisture but appreciates more water during periods of hotter weather when in containers or in the ground outside. Keep it out of extreme cold, and bring it inside before the temperature drops to 35°F.

Other than that, this dwarf fig tree requires very little maintenance. Pruning should be done after harvesting the fruit. To keep your tree small and well-shaped, prune to your desired size for up to three years when it is fully established. After that, no more pruning is needed unless there is a dead or diseased branch.

The low mounding habit of Fignomenal®is perfect for growing inside, where it will give you a tropical feeling in your home year-round. Depending on your hardiness zone, it can be enjoyed equally as a seasonal patio or porch plant, or in your garden. Kick back and enjoy its Mediterranean vibes as you savor the delicious fruit. It is truly "fignomenal."
