BLACK MISSION FIG 5gal

Bring the taste of the Mediterranean right to your back gate with the historic Black Mission Fig. Gardeners in zones 7 and 8 love this tree because it produces two distinct waves of sweet, jammy, dark purple fruits every single year.

Growing into a handsome, spreading specimen that reaches 15 to 30 feet tall, it creates a magnificent canopy and a true focal point for your yard. To guarantee a heavy harvest of delicious figs, plant your tree in a location that receives six to eight hours of full sun daily. While the mature wood is tough, deer and rabbits do occasionally like to browse the sweet young foliage and low-hanging fruit, so consider a bit of protective fencing while the tree is young. 

For real planting success, dig a wide hole and blend your native soil with Watters Premium Mulch to keep the roots cool and well-drained. Feed your growing tree with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to provide steady, organic nutrients that build strong branches and sweeten your backyard harvest.
