Indian Fig Tree from types of figs that bear fruit throughout summer and autumn, known for spherical fruits and purple color. Growing fig trees is successful in all regions of Saudi Arabia thanks to the warm climate it features, and these trees do not require intense care. Here are detailed information about this variety and how to cultivate and care for it. Features of Indian Fig Tree Original habitat: India. Common name: Zraqeen Fig. Type of tree: Perennial evergreen. Height: The fig tree height ranges from 3 to 10 meters. Fruits: Zraqeen figs are spherical in shape and have a mixed color combining green and purple. Flowers: Pink flowers. Leaves: Broad, tripartite, and slightly rough in texture. Planting and care instructions Fig can be easily cultivated directly in the ground or in a large wide container, as fig trees develop deep roots if given the opportunity, so keep that in mind when choosing a planting location. The suitable planting time is spring or early autumn. Fig trees can grow in most soil types as long as the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter. If planting directly in the ground, leave at least 4 meters between each tree. Watering: Water young fig trees regularly to help them establish. In dry climate areas, fig trees need deep watering at least once a week. You can place a layer of mulch around the tree to help prevent weeds and retain moisture in the roots. Fig trees require little pruning; during dormancy, ensure to remove all dead, diseased, or weak branches to encourage growth.
