DESCRIPTION: Always wanted a fig tree but haven't had the space?...meet Little Ruby, a dwarf that is the very best fig for smaller gardens and containers as small as a 7 gallon pot. Excellent for growing as a houseplant indoors, in the greenhouse or sunroom, and on patios, porches, decks. Little Ruby is so much smaller the bonsai enthusiasts are working their art with it. At 4 to 6 feet tall and wide in the garden and maybe half that size in containers, this diminutive shrub produces loads of bite-sized, super-sweet, red-fleshed figs that are perfect fresh or dried as a nutritious snack for kids, and grown-up kids too. These figs have a closed eye when ripe, which helps to resist splitting and retains sweetness.
