Self-pollinating and suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 7-10, these trees require consistent moisture during fruiting for optimal care. SIZE UPON ARRIVAL: Your LSU Gold Fig Tree arrives as a petite powerhouse, standing 3-8 inches tall in a 3-inch-deep pot holding 4.90 fl oz/145.0 mL of soil. Despite its small size, this baby fig tree carries the potential to grow into a resilient and fruitful addition to your garden under your nurturing care. ADVANCED TISSUE CULTURE GROWTH: Cultivated through superior tissue culture methods, our LSU Gold Figs are ensured healthier plants that can bear fruit much sooner than those grown from seeds. RESILIENT DORMANCY AND NEW GROWTH: Figs may arrive without leaves, which is typical during winter shipping. Fear not, as the flexible stem and green buds signify the plant's vitality. Winter dormancy is a natural part of the growth cycle, allowing the plant to focus on strengthening its root system. Come spring, your fig tree will flourish with new leaves in response to increased light and warmer temperatures. COMBATTING FIG RUST FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH: LSU Gold Figs flourish in a Mediterranean climate but can be prone to fig rust in humid or rainy regions. While not fatal, the appearance of fig rust is undesirable. Combat this by keeping the area under the tree free of leaf debris and avoiding excessive leaf wetness during watering. Consider using copper fungicide sprays like Bonide and Serenade for organic gardening to ensure your fig tree's optimal health.
