Mission figs are one of the most popular and delicious fig varieties to grow at home. In this video, we’ll show you how to grow your own Mission fig tree, from planting to harvesting, and why it’s considered the best fig variety for home gardeners.
✅ Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Plant Mission fig trees in-ground or in large containers. They thrive in warm, dry climates and can even tolerate mild frosts once established.
✅ Growing & Care: Water young trees regularly and mulch around the base to retain moisture. As the tree matures, reduce watering to encourage sweeter fruit. Prune lightly to shape and increase air circulation.
✅ Harvesting: Mission figs ripen in late summer to early fall. Pick them when they’re dark purple, soft to the touch, and slightly drooping from the branch—this is when they’re sweetest and juiciest!
✅ Why Mission Figs?: They’re incredibly sweet, easy to grow, and perfect for eating fresh, drying, or making jams. Plus, figs are high in fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals like potassium and calcium.
