Fignominal Fig is a compact, dwarf variety of Ficus carica bred specifically for container growing and small-space gardens. This self-fertile fig stays under 3 feet tall but still produces sweet, brown-to-purple fruit with a classic fig flavor. It’s one of the few fig trees that reliably fruits indoors or on patios in temperate climates.

Climate & Hardiness:
Fignominal is hardy in USDA zones 7–10 and can be grown outdoors year-round in warmer areas. In colder zones, it thrives in containers and can be overwintered indoors. It tolerates light frost and will go dormant in winter.
Size & Habit:
This is one of the most compact fig trees available, reaching just 28–36 inches tall. It’s perfect for balconies, patios, or as a low-maintenance indoor edible.
Light Requirements:
Fignominal prefers full sun. Outdoors, give it at least 6 hours of direct light. Indoors, place near a bright window or under grow lights for best fruiting.
Soil & Watering:
Plant in well-drained soil with neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Drought-tolerant once established.
Fruit & Flavor:
Fignominal produces small to medium figs with brown to purple skin and amber flesh. The flavor is rich, sweet, and classic fig. It often fruits in its first year.
Pollination:
Fignominal is fully self-fertile. It does not require a second plant or fig wasp to produce fruit.
Container Growing:
This variety was developed specifically for pots. It performs beautifully in 5–10 gallon containers and can be grown indoors or out, depending on your climate.
