Ficus carica is the common fig, a deciduous fruiting Ficus with lobed textured leaves and woody branching that gains character with age. In containers it can be grown as a small patio or balcony tree, with seasonal leaf drop followed by renewed growth in the next active cycle. The lobed leaves, visible veins, woody stems and possible figs make its growth visibly seasonal. Strong light, a free-draining growing medium, and careful watering during active growth are important for container culture. Sap and leaf contact can irritate skin, and chewing by pets should be avoided.
