Originally from Western Asia, it spread throughout the Mediterranean region in ancient times and is now becoming increasingly popular in Central European gardens. The Ficus carica impresses with its characteristic growth, large hand-shaped leaves, and its chalk-white trunk, which also provides a decorative appearance in winter. In summer, the fig tree bears aromatic, edible fruits that ripen between July and September. The fruits are sweet, juicy, and rich in nutrients – ideal for fresh consumption, jams, or as a healthy treat. The plant is easy to care for, hardy, and versatile.
