Growing Fig tree in a pot

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

Would love to try growing a fig tree, but unfortunately in Zone 6 (which limits varieties but not entirely) and my postage stamp backyard is almost fully shaded (which pretty much makes it impossible) :(
But I'm very interested in growing one indoors in a pot. I actually have a spot with full spectrum track lighting on a 12 hour timer, and some window light. First.... anyone know if this would be a go?
And second.... I have been looking at all the different varieties. Brown Turkey is usually recommended for potting, but I have heard complaints that the taste of the fruit isn't as good as others.
What I want to try is the Tiger Stripe. I'm wondering though if that would be harder to grow in a pot, and also since apparently fig trees fruit on new growth, is it reasonable to keep one like this pruned to indoor size? Thanks for any suggestions!
