AboutFig Trees
Figs are the gateway fruit tree. No spraying, no fussy pruning, no second tree needed for pollination — just sweet, jammy fruit, often two crops in a single season. The leaves are big and tropical-looking, the growth is fast, and a young tree can start fruiting almost right away. If you've never grown fruit before, a fig is the one that makes you feel like a natural.
There's a fig for nearly every yard. Brown Turkey and Celeste are old-South favorites that shrug off heat and humidity; Chicago Hardy and other cold-tough types die back in a hard winter and bounce right back from the roots, fruiting on new growth into the upper zones. Flavors run from rich and honeyed to berry-bright, and most varieties stay compact enough to keep pruned to a manageable size.
Growing them is genuinely easy
Give a fig sun and decent drainage and it will reward you. Full sun ripens the sweetest fruit; figs tolerate ordinary soil and shrug off short dry spells once established. In colder regions, grow yours in a large container, let it bask outdoors all summer, and move it to a garage or shed for winter dormancy — it needs no light while it sleeps. Prune in late winter to shape and to keep fruit within easy reach.
Shipped to arrive healthy. Every fig tree is grown in our nursery network, inspected, and hand-packed in protective, season-aware packaging — and we honor the state-by-state agricultural rules that govern where fruit trees can ship.
Common questions
-
Do I need two fig trees to get fruit?
No. Common figs are self-fertile and set fruit on their own with no second tree and no pollinator needed, which makes a single tree perfect for small yards and patios.
-
How cold-hardy are fig trees?
It depends on the variety. Classic types are reliably hardy in zones 7 and warmer, while cold-tough selections like Chicago Hardy survive lower temperatures by dying back and re-sprouting from the roots. In colder zones, grow yours in a pot and overwinter it in a garage or shed.
-
How soon will a fig tree produce fruit?
Sooner than most fruit trees. A healthy young fig can begin bearing within its first year or two, and established trees in warm regions often produce two crops a season.
-
Can I grow a fig tree in a container?
Absolutely. Figs are one of the best fruit trees for pots. Use a large container with good drainage, give it full sun through the growing season, and the confined roots actually encourage earlier fruiting. In cold climates, move the dormant pot somewhere sheltered for winter.
-
Which states can fig trees ship to?
Fruit trees carry agricultural shipping restrictions that vary by state. Those rules are built into fulfillment, so trees are only sent where they're allowed to go.
