Ficus carica: Characteristics and Care<\/b><\/h2><\/h3><\/div>

The <\/span>Ficus carica<\/b>, popularly known as the <\/span>common fig<\/b>, is a deciduous fruit tree native to the Mediterranean basin and Western Asia that stands out for its large, deep green lobed leaves and its sweet fruits, figs, which are highly prized both fresh and dried.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its hardiness, generous shade, and productive value make it a very traditional choice for orchards as well as Mediterranean patios and gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n

It tolerates drought very well once established and adapts to poor, stony soils, provided it has good drainage.<\/span><\/p>\n

At <\/span>Ornacom<\/b>, we directly cultivate each specimen, ensuring a balanced habit and abundant fruiting from the first years of planting.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
