Plant in a Box Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey' - set of 2 fig trees

The Ficus Carica originally comes from Western Asia. Due to its delicious fruits and the fact that these fruits are easy to maintain, the cultivation of these trees spread rapidly throughout the Mediterranean during the time of the Roman Empire. It was the Romans who eventually introduced the fig to England. The leaf of the fig tree is particularly known from the depictions of Adam and Eve, but it is also frequently used in classical paintings to cover individuals. The fig tree is a hardy, but deciduous tree, leaving only its beautiful, chalk-white trunk in winter. The leaves are leathery and can grow quite large. The fruits of the fig tree ripen between July and September, after which they are edible. The fig tree is a very beautiful and low-maintenance plant, making it a true enhancement for your garden, balcony, or terrace.

Care
The Ficus Carica prefers a sunny, sheltered, and as warm as possible location. The tree can be planted in the ground or kept in a pot. Always ensure good drainage by placing the plant in a pot with holes in the bottom. If this tree does not receive enough water, the leaves will curl and become limp. So, provide more water when the leaves become limp. Water regularly in spring and summer, but check the soil first. Is it still moist? Then do not water. However, also prevent the soil from drying out. In hot summers, the fig tree can be watered every day. A rain shower is not sufficient to adequately supply the soil with water.
