Details

Organically grown fig tree in a 13 cm pot, 20 to 25 cm tall. For a sunny, sheltered spot in the garden or a large pot.

Species: Ficus carica, organic · Pot: ø13 cm · Height: 20-25 cm

The fig tree (Ficus carica) is a deciduous fruit tree with large, lobed leaves and edible figs. These organically grown plants come in a 13 centimetre pot and are 20 to 25 centimetres tall on delivery. In a good spot they grow to 3 to 4 metres.

Place it in the sunniest spot in the garden, preferably sheltered against a wall, in well-drained soil. It also does well in a large pot on the patio. Water regularly, especially in dry periods. Protect young plants against severe frost during the first winters. Prune after harvesting. The milky sap can irritate the skin and the plant is toxic to cats and dogs.

Delivery

Shipping a two-metre plant takes more than a box and some tape. That's why we do it differently from an ordinary online shop.

How your plant arrives in one piece

Fresh from the greenhouse
Your plant does not sit in a warehouse for weeks. The grower only takes it out of the greenhouse after you order and prepares it straight away.
Packed securely
In a box made for plants. Plant and soil are secured and a protective sleeve keeps the leaves intact, so nothing shifts on the way.
Protected from heat and frost
Is it very hot or freezing outside? Then we add a cold pack or heat pack to the box, so the weather doesn't affect your plant on the way.
The right carrier for every size
Smaller plants are delivered by PostNL or DHL. The very largest plants travel upright on a pallet with a specialist carrier.
You know exactly when it arrives
As soon as your plant is on its way, you receive track & trace by email, so you can make sure someone is home and, for a large plant, someone to help carry it in.

When will your plant arrive?

4–5working days after you order

★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd

Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.

★★★★★Goede service en een mooie plant

Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...

Veelgestelde vragen over Ficus carica

De vragen die we het vaakst krijgen over deze plant. Staat jouw vraag er niet bij? Onze plantexperts helpen je graag.

Stel je vraag

How much space does a fig tree need?

A fig tree grows to 3 to 4 metres tall and also gets quite wide. Allow a space of a few metres per tree, or keep it smaller by pruning. In a large pot it stays more compact.

When should you plant a fig tree?

Plant in spring, once severe frost is over, or in early autumn. This lets the tree root before summer or winter.

Where should you plant a fig tree?

In the sunniest spot you have, preferably sheltered against a south-facing wall. Warmth and sun are needed for the figs to ripen properly. The soil must be well-drained.

Is a fig tree hardy?

A mature fig tree can withstand quite hard frost. Young plants are more sensitive; protect them during the first winters with horticultural fleece and a layer of mulch around the base. In a pot, move it against the house wall in winter.

Is a fig tree toxic to cats and dogs?

Yes, the leaves and milky sap of the fig tree are toxic to cats and dogs. The milky sap can also irritate the skin of people, so wear gloves when pruning. The ripe figs themselves are edible for people.
