Description

Little Miss Figgy (Ficus carica) is a compact, dwarf fig tree admired for both its ornamental appeal and generous fruit production. Reaching just 3–5 feet in height and spread, it’s ideal for patios, balconies, small gardens, or containers—perfect for tight spaces or urban settings. This self-pollinating variety produces an impressive crop of rich, purple-skinned figs with vibrant red flesh and a deep, sweet flavour. Harvest begins in late summer and extends into early autumn, with fruit ideal for eating fresh, drying, or using in recipes.  They may go on to produce a second crop in the Spring if the weather is warm enough.

More cold-tolerant than most figs, it withstands temperatures down to -10°C once established. Its lush, deeply lobed foliage provides year-round interest, making it a striking and productive feature in any garden.

To encourage fruiting, grow in a container to restrict root growth—either placed on a patio or sunk into the ground. Prune in spring to remove frost-damaged or weak growth and thin the canopy to let in light. Light summer pruning encourages bushy growth.

The tiny figs formed in autumn can ripen the following summer if protected. Remove larger fruits in autumn and insulate the crown with fleece or straw to preserve young fruit. Easy to grow, Little Miss Figgy is both beautiful and rewarding.

We will always pick the best plant on our nursery for you, however, please note that fruit on your dwarf fig tree is not guaranteed, as this will be dependent on the time of year - with fruits being produced normally August/September following a warm Summer.  It may be that plants drop their fruits in transit or may be despatched without fruit. With correct feeding and positioning they will continue to fruit with the next cycle.

Planting Conditions

Little Miss Figgy fig tree grows best when planted in a warm, sheltered position with full sun, ideally against a south- or west-facing wall to maximise heat and fruit production. It prefers well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Suitable for compact gardens and patios, this dwarf variety also thrives in containers, making it ideal for small outdoor spaces. In colder regions, planting in a pot allows for easy relocation to a protected spot during winter. Avoid exposed or frost-prone areas, and choose a position that offers consistent warmth throughout the growing season.

Watering & Feeding

Little Miss Figgy fig trees require regular watering during the growing season, especially in dry spells, to support healthy growth and fruit development. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Container-grown trees may need more frequent watering than those planted in the ground. Feeding should be done in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser to encourage strong growth. A high-potassium feed, such as tomato fertiliser, can be applied monthly from late spring through summer to promote fruiting. Avoid overfeeding, as excessive nitrogen can lead to leafy growth at the expense of fruit production.

General Care

Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain its compact shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. This dwarf variety is naturally tidy, requiring minimal pruning. Although it is more cold-tolerant than other figs, protect young trees from severe frost using fleece or by moving container plants to a sheltered location. Check regularly for pests such as scale insects or aphids, and remove any fallen fruit to prevent disease. With minimal effort, this tree rewards you with beauty and delicious figs.
