Ficus carica
Ancient, beautiful fruit tree with minimal care needs. Figs in containers can be overwintered indoors.
Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizer — promotes leaves over fruit. In cold zones, grow in containers to overwinter.
Sap and unripe fruit are irritating to cats and dogs (ficin, psoralens) — can cause GI upset and skin irritation; ripe fruit in small amounts is lower-risk.
Informational only — always check with a veterinarian if you suspect your pet has eaten something it shouldn't have.
