Figs have a long-standing history in British gardens and it’s not just because of their fruit, but also for their shape, structure, and surprisingly tough nature. A well-placed fig tree can become a real feature, and with its broad leaves and architectural form, you can easily bring a little bit of Mediterranean character to your garden.

If you’re looking to buy a fig tree, it’s worth knowing they tend to crop best when their roots are slightly restricted. That’s why many gardeners choose to grow them in large containers or plant them into a walled bed as this encourages more fruit while helping to keep the tree at a manageable size. With the right conditions, a Fig Tree will reward you with sweet, soft fruit in late summer and early autumn if placed in full sun and in a sheltered spot.

Our selection of fig trees for sale includes hardy varieties that are well-suited to British weather. Whether you’re planting in the ground or keeping it in a pot, a fig plant doesn’t ask for much once it’s established. Just a bit of warmth, good drainage, and the occasional trim to keep it in shape.

If you’re searching for the best fig tree for UK gardens, or hoping to find a fig tree for sale that’s already a few years along, we’ve got plenty of options suited to both smaller spaces and those after a more mature look. A full grown fig tree can take pride of place in a border or equally act as a standalone tree in a suntrap. Browse our range of fig trees to find one that fits your space.
