Ficus carica, known by most people as the common fig, is a plant native to the Middle East and Western Asia. It is in the mulberry family of plants, and thrives in Mediterranean like climates. Little Ruby Fig is a dwarf fig variety that abundantly produces sweet, strawberry-colored, medium-sized fruit. Due to it's small stature, the Little Ruby is more than just a  gorgeous fruiting true, but also an excellent specimen for bonsai.

Fig trees also make really great houseplants indoors as long as they can get enough bright light.

    Fell packed, healthy plant

    I have ordered from several other nurseries. Over the years had many failures with dried out or damaged plants. The Sow Exotic packaging is excellent. Received a nice healthy plant with a 9" stem.
