Fig trees
Despite their association with warmer climates, figs will fruit successfully in many areas of the UK if provided with a sheltered sunny site (S/SW aspect). Figs are strong growing and will easily cover up to 3.5 metres of wall or fence when trained as a fan. Alternatively, figs adapt well to growing in containers and will make an attractive feature in the garden. Even if planted in the ground, all fig trees benefit from root restriction, either with a traditional pit construction or the use of root control bags to limit growth and ensure good cropping.
