You have probably seen fig trees while walking through your neighborhood, even if you didn’t realize it. The plants are commonly found in nature because they require little maintenance and are able to winter over outside. You can recognize a fig tree by its leaves that sport "fingers" as they are called in the grower community. The hand-shaped leaves usually have between 3-5 fingers each, and are green in color. Unique varieties may even bear striped leaves. Like all plants, they may start out as just a seedling, but they can grow into trees reaching a story in height or more. The plants can also be pruned into bushes. Because of their growth, figs should be planted 10’-20’ apart from one another. Alternatively, the plants also work well in containers, so they are fit for any size living area.
Fig plants like sunny conditions and prefer fewer rainy days. This allows the plant’s delicious fruit to ripen. Different varieties will fruit at different times throughout the late spring and into fall. The fruits are really the stars of the plant, and there are many collectors of fig trees who want to get their hands on all the tasty varieties. There are over 700 of them!
Like fine wine grapes, each fig has its own unique appearance and flavor profile. The fruits are generally 1.5"-3.5" in size, and described as small, medium, large, and giant. The skin of the fruit is edible, and comes in colors like green, yellow, red, purple, black, and rarely shows striped patterns. The fig’s interior is fleshy with edible tiny seeds like a tomato. Connoisseurs test figs for "seed crunch," meaning how densely packed the seeds are in a particular variety.
Kremp Florist’s fig tree production has grown substantially over the years to keep up with demand for these precious fruits. The florist grows its own fig trees on a farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The varieties are carefully maintained and catalogued to offer customers 50+ different types of plants. New varieties are regularly added, so be sure to check back often to see what new figs are in store. Kremp Florist hand delivers cuttings and trees locally, and ships cuttings throughout the United States. Shipping outside the country is not available at this time.
Customers can choose to purchase a rooted cutting, which means that the plant is already showing leaves. These come in 4.25" pots of soil. Or, purchase a simple cutting to root at home. With just your own pot and soil, you can be on your way to growing figs. For a larger presentation, consider a fig tree. These are approximately 16"-24" tall trees and come in their own pot. They can be accented with a bow and Spanish moss for a lasting thank you gift.
Once your plant is growing, it will not be long before you are harvesting yummy figs. Enthusiasts love to taste new figs, and describe the flavors as honey, peachy, figgy, berry, caramel, or strawberry. The vast array of flavors that can come from the same type of plant is what keeps collectors coming back for more of these special trees. Figs must be left to ripen on the tree, because they do not continue ripen once picked. After you harvest your figs, they can be kept in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
Once you have your figs, you may be wondering what to do with them. You may consider making them into a "figgy pudding" as the Christmas carol suggests, or you can make them into jams/speads, cookies, tarts, add them to salads, cook them with meats, or add them to a cheese plate. Eaten by themselves, figs can make a healthy and satisfying snack. In case you need one last reason to start growing figs: the fruits are also good for you. They are a good source of fiber, and also provide an array of vitamins and minerals including iron and potassium. Growing figs is a healthy hobby to enjoy year after year.
