About Fig
Figs are drought-tolerant productive trees that thrive in warm climates and can be container-grown in cold zones.
In Zone 7-8 plant against a south-facing wall for heat and wind protection. In cold zones grow in containers and bring indoors for winter. Figs fruit on new wood — minimal pruning needed.
Gardening in Idaho
