Why You'll Love the GE Neri Fig Tree

This rare Italian fig is a standout in our growing fields, and one bite tells you why.

• Big, sweet fruit: GE Neri figs ripen to about the size of a tennis ball, with sweet, jammy flesh that’s hard to beat fresh off the branch.
• Generous harvests: A healthy tree loads up with figs each season, giving you plenty to eat fresh, share, or turn into preserves.
• Easy-going once established: After its roots settle in, your tree handles dry spells well and needs only light yearly pruning.
• Fits your space: Figs take well to pruning, so you can keep your tree compact for a smaller yard or grow it in a large container on the patio.

Planting and Care Tips for GE Neri Figs

GE Neri figs are easygoing trees that don’t ask for much. Plant yours in well-drained soil at the same depth it sat in the pot, and focus on these three basics.

• Full sun: Give your tree at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun. More sun means sweeter figs.
• Steady watering: Soak young trees deeply once or twice a week their first year, and keep moisture consistent while fruit ripens to prevent splitting.
• Light pruning: In late winter, trim away dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
