Little Miss Figgy™
A true dwarf fig that fits a patio pot or a sunny corner of the yard, yet still hands you basketfuls of sweet, jammy fruit.
Little Miss Figgy™ is a naturally compact selection of the classic 'Violette de Bordeaux' fig, bred to stay just 4–6 feet tall instead of sprawling into a 15-foot tree. The result is a tidy, deeply lobed shrub that produces small-to-medium figs with dark purple-black skin and rich, honeyed red flesh. It carries the same berry-sweet, intensely figgy flavor that makes 'Violette de Bordeaux' a chef and home-gardener favorite, all on a plant you can actually keep within reach.
Why growers choose Little Miss Figgy
- Genuinely small. A patented dwarf habit at 4–6 ft. tall and 3–4 ft. wide means no ladders, no aggressive pruning battles, and easy netting against birds.
- Rich, dessert-quality fruit. Dark, almost-black figs with deep red interiors and a sweet, jam-like flavor — excellent fresh, dried, or cooked.
- Self-fruitful. A single plant sets fruit on its own with no second variety and no pollinator required.
- Generous and forgiving. Figs are among the most beginner-friendly fruits, tolerating a range of soils and shrugging off most pests once established.
- Container-perfect. Its size and root tolerance make it ideal for large pots on a deck, balcony, or patio — and easy to shelter in colder climates.
Whether you have a small city courtyard, a patio that needs an edible focal point, or a spot in the border that calls for something productive and good-looking, Little Miss Figgy delivers fresh figs without taking over the space.
