Fignomenal Fig

Fignomenal Fig

Ficus carica 'Fignomenal'

Care Difficulty
Easy. A compact, productive fig variety that is ideal for containers and small spaces.

Light Requirements
Full sun. Provide at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day for the best growth and fruit production. Indoors, place in the sunniest window available or supplement with a grow light.

Water Requirements
Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feels dry. Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season but never waterlogged. Container-grown plants may need more frequent watering during hot weather.

Humidity
Average household humidity is sufficient. No additional humidity is required.

Pet Safety
Use caution. The milky sap may irritate the skin, and ingestion can cause mild stomach upset in pets and people.

Growth Speed
Moderate to fast. Produces vigorous new growth each spring and can begin producing fruit at a young age.

Expected Mature Size

• Height: 2 to 3 feet
• Width: 2 to 3 feet

Pot Size
Grow in a container at least 12 to 16 inches wide with drainage holes. Repot every 2 to 3 years as needed.

Where it Grows Best
Outdoors in full sun during the summer or indoors in a bright, sunny location. In Zone 3, it should be grown in a container and brought indoors before the first frost.

Perfect for…

• Patio containers
• Sunny decks
• Small gardens
• Edible landscapes

• Anyone wanting homegrown figs in a compact plant

Common Mistakes

• Growing in too little sunlight, reducing fruit production.
• Overwatering, especially during winter dormancy.
• Using a container without drainage holes.
• Fertilizing heavily with nitrogen, which encourages leaves instead of fruit.
• Leaving the plant outdoors when frost is expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Fignomenal different from other figs?
Fignomenal is a naturally dwarf variety that produces full-sized, sweet figs on a compact plant, making it ideal for containers and small spaces.

Can I grow it in Saskatchewan?
Yes. In Zone 3, grow it in a container outdoors during the summer and move it indoors or into a cool, frost-free location before winter.

Does it need another fig tree for pollination?
No. Fignomenal is self-pollinating, so a single plant will produce fruit.

When does it produce fruit?
With enough sunlight and warmth, it can produce one or more crops during the growing season, depending on growing conditions.

How often should I fertilize it?
Feed every 2 to 4 weeks during spring and early summer with a balanced fertilizer. Reduce feeding once fruit begins to develop and stop fertilizing during winter.

Should I prune my fig?
Yes. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and maintain its compact shape. Light pruning also encourages healthy new growth.
