Ficus carica, commonly known as Edible Fig, is a versatile and captivating deciduous tree renowned for its luscious fruit and striking ornamental appeal. Originating from Western Asia and the Mediterranean, this tree can reach heights of up to 30 feet with a broad, spreading canopy that offers generous shade. Its distinctive deeply lobed leaves create a lush backdrop while the sweet, pear-shaped figs—ranging in colors from green and yellow to rich purple—emerge on new wood, ripening in late summer to fall.

Edible Fig is suitable for USDA zones 7-9, thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained, organically rich soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant but produces the best fruit with regular watering during dry spells. It can be grown outdoors in protected locations in cooler zones or overwintered in containers indoors, making it adaptable for various garden setups, including home orchards, Mediterranean gardens, or as a striking specimen tree.

Valued not only for its sweet fruit, which can be enjoyed fresh, dried, or cooked, Ficus carica also boasts ornamental beauty with smooth silver-gray bark and lush foliage, adding elegance to any landscape. Regular light pruning helps maintain its attractive shape.
