Location: Ideally in a Mediterranean climate, outdoors all year round. In cooler climates ensure they are always protected from freezing temperatures.

Watering: Generously in summer, decreasing in winter.

Curiosities: Flowers are found inside the fig. Most of the cultivated fig trees only have female flowers. To be able to be fertilised a male fig tree is required as it has both male and female flowers.
