Holly Days Nursery Italian Everbearing Fig Tree

Yes, the Italian Everbearing variety is known for producing two distinct crops. You can expect the first harvest in early summer and a second, larger harvest in late summer.

Absolutely. This variety is well-suited for container gardening, which is an excellent way to manage its size and protect it from harsh winter temperatures if you live in a cooler zone.

No, you do not. This is a self-pollinating variety, meaning a single tree is capable of producing fruit on its own without the need for a cross-pollinator.

At maturity, this tree reaches 10 to 15 feet in height. However, it is highly adaptable to pruning, so you can easily keep it smaller if you are planting it in a restricted space or a container.

While the tree is hardy in Zones 7-10, it may benefit from extra care in Zone 7 during particularly cold winters. You can protect it by wrapping the trunk or applying a thick layer of mulch around the base to insulate the roots.

To ensure a healthy harvest, plant your tree in a location that receives full sun for most of the day. It also requires well-drained soil to prevent root rot, as fig trees do not tolerate sitting in standing water.
