There is nothing so luscious as a tree-ripe fig, and there is hardly a crop easier to grow at home! Nothing you've had at the store can even compare. One of the most sought-after and award-winning Figs is the Olympian Fig (Ficus carica 'Olympian') trees to your Edible Landscape. You'll enjoy harvests two times a year.

People rave about the sweet taste of Olympian Fig fruit. The fun, green and purple-striped skin is thin and easy to prep. Its yummy, succulent flesh is a beautiful violet shade!

Olympian Fig features an early Breba crop that arrives from late spring to early summer! You'll want to host an annual party in early fall. Get some help getting your fully ripened main crop harvested. Pick your ripe figs when the texture starts to soften up. Gently tug upward and it should come off easily, when ripe.

Fresh figs sweeten up the taste of many dishes, from savory meats to desserts. Go ahead and add them to smoothies with bananas. Start gathering artisan recipes of figgy deserts. These small powerhouses contain a lot of healthy micronutrients; in addition to a wonderful amount of delicious, natural fructose. Enjoy them fresh on a cheese plate. Turn them into a dried snack for winter. Or, try your hand at crafting homemade Fig Preserves...it is so good!

These are partially self-pollinating trees, and a single tree will produce fruit, but you'll get much more fruit with at least one more partner tree. These tiny trees are so attractive, you'll want to add more than one, anyway. They'll look amazing in the garden too! The green heavily lobed and ornamental foliage is so refreshing to behold!

This is some of the easiest fruit to grow at home. Add the reliable great-tasting flavor and high performance of Olympian Fig and turn your yard into an edible landscape! Heat and humidity hardy throughout USDA growing zones 6 to 10, Olympian grows into a full 6-10 feet in height and 5-6 feet wide.

Planting and Application:

If you are baking for yourself and your family, grow one or more. Plant these small trees in the ground if you can! Olympian Fig has lush, tropical-looking leaves that bring a dramatic flair to your landscape with bold, very modern leaves. Let them become a very useful screening plant for you with that large, textured foliage.

Why not get several? You can easily create a hard-working screen to hide ugly views for you with a short hedge or in groupings. They don't take up much space and can be kept much smaller. Custom-fit Olympian Fig into small space gardens with summer pruning for size control.

If space is at a premium, keep Olympian Fig size controlled with summer pruning. Decide how large you want it to grow, and then hold it there. High-Density planting is a time-tested, proven formula for modern backyard orchard agriculture. Plus you'll increase pollination.

Create a stunning garden feature with a square planting of four trees, placed four feet apart on center. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next. In-ground 4-in-1 plantings should be thought of as a single tree. The only difference is that it has four trunks and one canopy.

Container-grown trees will always be smaller than in-ground trees. So you can grow fruit on the balcony, deck, patio or porch. Figs are tough and can be grown even in the heart of the city. Enjoy these trees near your patio. Take advantage of any low branches that develop for their wonderful screening to block out any unsightly views.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Give Olympian Fig trees well-drained soil. Full sun is best in the colder zones of 6 to 7, but elsewhere they prefer early morning or late afternoon shade. These trees don't do best being brought in as houseplants, and do need to go dormant for winter, but can be temporarily housed indoors during extreme weather. Provide a medium amount of water on a regular basis and apply a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over their root systems, and pull the mulch back away from the trunk.

Containerized Olympian Figs can be moved into position, and shifted through the season, as needed. Make sure you watch their water. They'll want to stay damp at the root level. However, with Fig Trees, drainage is another area to focus on. You'll likely want to drill extra holes in the bottom of your container before planting. Never use saucers under outdoor container plants. In fact, you'll want to elevate the pot a bit using a smart plant caddy on wheels or bricks.

Prune in winter while your tree is dormant. This is one of the best to Espalier; a pruning technique that has been popular in Europe for generations. Prune these Fig trees while dormant and control size, keeping an open canopy for air circulation. Each year for a few years, you'll want to prune up the inside of each tree. Make a good strategic pruning plan any time of year.

Fig Tree FAQ

At what age do Olympian Fig Trees bear fruit?

Nature Hills ships Fig trees with mature root systems that are already 2-3 years of age and the typical Fig tree will begin producing fruit at 3-5 years in optimal conditions.

Where is the best place to plant an Olympian Fig tree?

Fig trees, like nearly all fruiting trees and shrubs, need enriched, well-drained soil in a full sun location to flower and fruit the best. However, Olympian Fig also handles partial/afternoon shade.

Are Fig Trees Self-Pollinating

Fig Trees are partially self-fruitful but do best with a pollination partner. Olympian Fig is parthenocarpic and an open eyed-type of Fig and should have another similar Fig Tree planted nearby to maximize pollination chances.
