This heritage fig is well suited to Melbourne gardens, performing best in a warm, sunny position with well-drained soil and protection from harsh winds. It is naturally smaller growing than many other figs, making it a strong choice for courtyards, espalier, large pots, or productive garden beds. Deciduous in winter, it produces lush, lobed green foliage through the warmer months and crops in summer to early autumn once established. Regular watering during fruit development and a sunny aspect will help produce the best quality fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"830\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"799\"\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"799\" data-end=\"802\"\u003eShrub - Large\u003cbr data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"818\"\u003eTree - Small\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"879\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"848\"\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"848\" data-end=\"851\"\u003eHeight: 2–4 m\u003cbr data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"867\"\u003eWidth: 2–4 m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"903\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"892\"\u003eAspect:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"895\"\u003eFull Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"939\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"919\"\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"922\"\u003eFlowers in Spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"999\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"959\"\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"959\" data-end=\"962\"\u003eGreen, insignificant internal flowers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1111\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1020\"\u003eKey Attributes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1020\" data-end=\"1023\"\u003eDisease Resistant\u003cbr data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1043\"\u003eEdible Fruit\u003cbr data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1058\"\u003ePerennial\u003cbr data-start=\"1067\" data-end=\"1070\"\u003eSuitable for Espalier\u003cbr data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1094\"\u003eSuitable for Pots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1254\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1126\"\u003eToxicity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1129\"\u003eSap may irritate skin and eyes.
