Care
For growing it in a pot, on a balcony or a windowsill.
Pot
30 to 50 litres. Move it up one size every few years, in spring.
Water
Regular and generous in summer. Too much water while fruit ripens splits it.
Winter
Roots in a pot feel the cold more than in the ground. In a hard winter move the pot somewhere sheltered.
In the game
In Verda the fig is common but very tasty, a good answer to notes asking for something sweet.
