Little Miss Figgy Fig is a truly compact deciduous fruiting tree suitable for container growing with prolific fruit production twice a year. The large, deeply-lobed palmate leaves are dark blue-green. The sweet-smelling fruits ripen to purple with rich amber flesh in late spring-early summer and again in fall. Highly adaptable, but provides the best fruit in full sun and well-drained soils.
