Don't think that just because it is a fruit tree it needs a yard; a fig can be grown, one or two of them, on a home balcony, terrace or small courtyard. It is a small tree, and even a small one can bear fruit. It is a balcony plant the author highly recommends, because it is very easy to grow and very easy to care for, tolerant of heat, drought and poor soil, laden with fruit, a green and natural good fruit.

The fig begins bearing fruit every year from early spring and can still fruit into autumn. It puts out leaves and bears fruit year after year, full of life, and is a very easy-to-grow balcony fruit tree. It likes sunlight, so place it in a sunny spot at home, keep it well ventilated; it tolerates poor soil and is not fussy about soil, tolerates drought, and watering only needs to follow "dry then wet". During the fruiting period, water less, otherwise the fruit tends to split, which spoils its looks.

When figs ripen, they turn red or purple, and then they can be eaten. Grown yourself, green, natural and pollution-free, they really taste very good, refreshing the heart and moistening the lungs, sweet to the core. They can be eaten directly, made into salad, roasted, used in soup, and also made into fig jam. They are ornamental and edible, and easy to care for; very worth having.
