Fig - Ficus carica 'Peretta'
Availability: In stock
Ficus carica 'Peretta' is a compact, early-fruiting fig variety, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens and container growing. It produces heavy crops of medium-sized, pear-shaped fruits with purple-brown skin and sweet, juicy red flesh from late summer. Naturally dwarfing in habit, it’s perfect for patios, courtyards, and sheltered spots where space is limited.
Â
Plant in a sunny, sheltered location in well-drained soil, or grow in a large container to restrict root growth and encourage fruiting. Water well in dry spells and mulch annually. Ideal for Mediterranean-style gardens or small urban plots.

Supplied in approx. 2 litre containers.
