Fig (Anjeer) - Big Leaf Excel Variety

About Fig (Anjeer) - Big Leaf Excel Variety

This Big Leaf fig (Anjeer) is a self-fertile variety — its flowers are all female, so it does not need a separate pollinator tree to set fruit. It thrives in areas with long, hot summers and also grows well in containers.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun.
• Soil: Ordinary well-drained garden or potting soil.
• Climate: Tropical and subtropical; suited to long, hot summers.

Planting & Spacing

Grows well in a large container or planted directly in the ground; a sunny balcony or terrace spot works well.

Care

• Watering: Regular watering during fruit development; allow topsoil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Fertilizer: Light organic feeding during the growing season.
• Pruning: Needs little pruning — during the dormant season, remove dead, diseased, or weak branches to encourage new growth.

Fruiting & Harvest

Figs are among the faster fruiting plants, typically bearing within 1-2 years. Once established, this variety can produce several hundred pear-shaped fruits across two fruiting flushes a year; harvest when fruit softens and droops slightly on the stem.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Fig tree sap is a mild skin irritant - wear gloves when pruning. The ripe fruit is completely safe to eat.
