Fig Violette de Bordeaux prefers well-draining soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 6.5. The plant needs full sun to produce fruit but can tolerate some shade. Water the plant regularly, making sure to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer in the early spring before new growth begins. Prune the tree in the late winter or early spring to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

It's a fig leaf! Seriously. This isn't really a fig tree. It's a teenie twig with one leaf on it. In it's defense, my twig did arrive reasonably well packaged and it did have one *healthy* leaf. And it has survived fine and grown a few more.
The little twig was delivered the 7th of September instead of the 9th, two of the hottest days of the week before without any advice so I wasn't expecting it to arrive in my mailbox that day. When I opened it, the leaves were all dry and it didn't have something to keep it moist, it was all plastic packaging 😒 I was sorry for it. Eventually all the leaves came off even after watering and taking good care of it. I love figs, we had figs trees where I lived when I was a little girl. So now I am doing my best to make this little fig tree survive!
