At Flowing Well Tree Farm in Pierson, Florida, we grow Fignomenal® Fig as premium Florida-grown fruit stock selected for vigorous root development, healthy branching, and reliable performance in Florida's warm climate. Every plant is conditioned under real Florida growing conditions, developing the strength needed to handle heat, humidity, sandy soils, and seasonal weather patterns before ever reaching your landscape.

Light Requirements
For maximum fruit production:

Proper sunlight is the key to abundant fruit production.
Soil & Site Requirements
Fignomenal® is adaptable but performs best when planted in:

- Areas with good air circulation
- Sites amended with compost during planting
Avoid standing water or poorly drained locations.
Planting Guidance (Grower Recommended)
For best establishment:
- Plant in full sun
- Dig a planting hole 2–3× wider than the root ball
- Plant at original container depth
- Water thoroughly after planting
- Apply mulch while keeping it away from the trunk
- Space 3–5 ft apart if planting multiple trees
- Use quality potting media when growing in containers
We are happy to help design backyard orchards, patio fruit gardens, and edible landscapes that maximize production in any size space.
Watering & Establishment
Water regularly during the first growing season to encourage strong root development.
Once established, Fignomenal® becomes moderately drought tolerant, although consistent watering during fruit production improves fruit size, sweetness, and overall yield.
Container-grown plants may require more frequent irrigation during hot weather.
Fertilizer
Moderate feeding produces excellent results.
Recommended practices include:
- Balanced fertilizer during active growth
- Organic compost to improve soil structure
- Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can reduce fruit production
- Feed container plants more frequently due to nutrient leaching
Balanced nutrition supports both healthy growth and abundant fruiting.
Pruning & Maintenance
Very easy to maintain.
Routine care includes:
- Light dormant-season pruning
- Remove dead or damaged wood
- Maintain an open canopy for airflow
- Minimal structural pruning required
- Easily maintained in decorative containers
Its naturally compact habit requires significantly less maintenance than traditional fig varieties.
