Peter Good fig thrives in full sun but can tolerate part shade in hotter climates, making it adaptable to a range of conditions. It's important to plant this tree at least 4-6 metres away from structures and other trees to allow for full growth, as it can reach a mature height and spread of 3-5 metres. Regular pruning is essential since figs only fruit on new wood, ensuring you get the most out of your tree each season.
The fruiting season for Peter's Good fig typically begins in late summer and continues into early autumn, often from February to April. This variety is known for producing medium to large figs with a rich, sweet flavour and a soft, juicy texture. The figs have a light brown to purple skin with a reddish interior, making them as visually appealing as they are delicious.
Peter Good fig prefers well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH but is adaptable to a variety of soil types. While the tree requires regular watering during dry periods, it is quite drought-tolerant once established. Avoid waterlogging, as figs prefer soil that drains well.
This fig variety is self-pollinating, so you don't need to plant multiple trees for fruit production. It often begins fruiting in its first year, and with proper care, Peter Good fig trees can remain productive for 50 years or more.
Peter Good fig can also be grown in large containers, making it an excellent choice for smaller spaces, patios, or urban gardens. Its ability to thrive in a pot allows you to enjoy fresh figs even if you're limited on space.
This variety is ideal for warm climates, but can tolerate mild frosts with minimal protection. Pruning is recommended to maintain the tree's shape and promote healthy fruiting wood. Fertilise in spring with a balanced fertiliser to support vigorous growth and a plentiful harvest.
Peter Good fig is a fantastic choice for both experienced gardeners and beginners alike. Its combination of ease of care, resilience, and high-quality fruit makes it a must-have addition to any garden. With its attractive foliage, delicious figs, and long lifespan, this tree will provide years of enjoyment and bountiful harvests.
