Customer Tips & Reviews Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye
JOYNER, QLD
Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye
I was looking for a small fruit tree that I could use for various recipes in deserts and as charcuterie. The plant is growing well and seems to like where I have planted it.

I planted this sandpaper variety about a year ago. It is now over 2m tall, however it has very long branches and straggly. Do the figs only grow on new growth? Can you prune this tree very hard? I will have at least 60 fruits this season.

Ours is less than three years old. It lives in a pot in part shade. We ate our first ripe, soft fig and it was delicious. It was like placing a spoonful Of jam in your mouth. It was sweet, it had a little hint of citrus tang and a European fig aftertaste.

Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye
Bought 3 about 3 years ago. They grew vigorously reaching over 2.5m high each. Grows more like a bush than a tree. Had hundreds of fruits but not one was edible. They were all rock hard. So made the painful decision to remove them all this year.

I have had my sandpaper fig for almost a year. It is in a large pot and gets full sun until midday then filtered to little for the rest of the day. It is about six feet tall very bushy and has produced dozens of fruit.

Looked interesting and I love native plants. Native plants that I can eat are even better. Growing in pot for 7 months, has really taken off since October (four months old then) and now growing about 13 fruits that I can see.

I purchased this tree from Daleys only a few weeks ago and it is already fruiting at less than a metre high! Nearly 10 figs I have counted, which is more than the leaves that are on the tree! Not sure whether they will drop or not, but I am quite astou...

Great selection. 2 In 350ltr fabric pots. Once roots established, it will not stop fruiting. Only approx 1 meter tall & 6 months in pots they have produced more then 30 fruits each. Have trimmed back to train tree & second flush of fruit has appeared.

I have taken out the leader and the plant is very happy on the outer edge of a shaded 'rainforest' garden. Watch out for scale! It's now 2 years old and a metre high, quite close between a Burdekin plum and Walking stick palms. I'll cincture soon.
