Fig tree advice

lilliput · June 2021

Any advice on which fig tree varieties are good for growing in a container in Yorkshire? Thank you very much. Also best size to buy? I read they can take a while to fruit so am thinking the bigger the better.

Brunswick is indeed recommended for growing outdoors in a sheltered position in the UK

It depends where you are, but I found this article by James Wong useful (I went for Brunswick in the end):
