I chose this plant because I want to increase the amount of native edibles in my garden. I have planted in ground initially with some organic blood and bone fertiliser. It's looking healthy since planting a few months ago. I can't wait to taste the fruit

Handsome small fig tree, but requires lots of water. Will recover quickly from wilting if adequate water is given.
