Garden hardiness. It withstands down to -30°C without significant losses. Hardiness increases as the plant matures, the root system develops, and the branches thicken. It is recommended to protect the plants in the first years by wrapping them with microporous film (anti-frost film, Agril-type film, etc.). Frost cases in fig trees cause damage to the aerial parts – but the root remains alive, and the plant regrows in spring.

Resistance to diseases and pests. Fig trees are considered ‘pest free’.

Plants for garden or terrace are grown in unprotected spaces or with minimal protection (shade nets or hail nets). For this reason, naturally, they may not have perfect foliage – leaves may show marks, defects, or other damage.

In the autumn-winter season, fig trees are sold leafless and are pruned to encourage branching.
