Fig trees are (celeste pictured) are easy to grow and will produce figs for many years if provided full sun exposure, in a well-drained area. The fig is soft and sweet ‘fruit’ with an almost creamy texture. They are used in baking, to sweeten meats, dried as a snack, and made into preserves with an assortment of added flavors.

Summer is officially here! Gardeners, most of us would argue the point summer arrived in SETX more than month ago (I certainly would). Hot and humid climate conditions and a “moisture- rich” environment are exacting conditions required by many trees to recuperate from last years’ temperature extremes including an extended drought. There is one fruit tree in particular which enjoys the heat- Fig!
