All about Dalmatie fig trees
Dalmatie is a popular green-fruited fig. The fruits are large, with a well-regarded flavour.
Growing and Training
As with all figs, plant in full sun in a sheltered spot. If planting in the ground, restrict the roots with paving slabs. Alternatively plant in a large container.
Dalmatie is less vigorous than most figs.

More about fig trees
Figs are fascinating trees, quite unlike most of the orchard fruits grown in temperate climates. In fact they are essentially a sub-tropical fruit, but can be grown by the keen gardener in most of the drier and warmer parts of the UK.
Growing fig trees is not hard in the UK, but getting them to fruit is an interesting challenge. The key is to pick the sunniest and most sheltered spot you can find, and, somewhat bizarrely, to restrict the root growth with a container or a planting hole lined with patio slabs.
Figs respond well to winter pruning.
