🌿 These Wild Fig seeds originate from the mountains of Herzegovina, where they were discovered growing in complete wilderness. The natural habitat is rocky and dry, meaning this fig variety is exceptionally tolerant of poor soil conditions and drought. Despite minimal water and harsh weather, these figs thrive and produce abundant fruits. The fruits are smaller than most cultivated figs but are remarkably sweet and flavorful, with a dark purple color when ripe. Local temperatures in their native region can drop as low as -15°C in winter, highlighting the plant’s extraordinary cold hardiness.
🌱 Plant Type: Deciduous fruiting tree
🌸 Flower Color: Hidden inside the fig fruit, pollinated by fig wasps
🍒 Fruit Color: Dark purple
🌍 Origin: Herzegovina, Southeast Europe
💧 Habitat: Rocky, dry, mountainous terrain
🌿 Cultivation & Ecology
Wild figs differ from cultivated varieties because they have both male and female flowers inside their fruits, which rely on fig wasps for pollination. This ensures natural seed production and contributes to their vigorous growth rate. The plants grow faster than tame figs, adapting quickly to their environment. These figs can be grown in well-drained soils, rocky gardens, or containers, and tolerate periods of drought better than most domesticated varieties.
🪴 Growing Tips:
Sow seeds in well-draining soil, lightly covering with 0.5–1 cm of substrate
Maintain temperature around 20–25°C for germination
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
Provide full sun for optimal growth and fruiting
Germination may take several weeks; patience is recommended
Transplant seedlings carefully once strong

💊 Hardiness & Adaptation
Wild figs from Herzegovina tolerate drought, poor soil, and cold winters down to -15°C. They are fast-growing and robust, making them ideal for gardens with challenging conditions or for growers seeking a naturally resilient fig variety.
