FireAg Italian Everbearing Fig Tree

Unlike standard trees that grow on a single trunk, this variety naturally sends up multiple stems from the base. This makes it easier to manage the height and width through pruning, or you can let it spread out to create a dense, productive shrub.

Because of its bush-like growth habit, this variety is well-suited for large containers. Just ensure your pot has excellent drainage and is large enough to accommodate the root system as the plant matures.

The Italian Everbearing is known for producing multiple crops throughout the warm growing season. In frost-free climates, it can continue to produce fruit year-round, though production will naturally slow down during cooler months.

Cloth pots, or fabric grow bags, promote 'air pruning.' As roots reach the edge of the fabric, they are naturally pruned by the air, which encourages the plant to grow a denser, more fibrous root system rather than circling the pot.

You can plant the entire cloth pot directly into the ground if you wish, as the roots will eventually grow through the fabric. Alternatively, you can carefully cut the fabric away to transplant the tree into a larger container or a garden bed.

Yes, the fruit is large and sweet, making it an excellent candidate for preserves, jellies, and jams. It is also highly recommended for fresh eating straight from the branch.
