{"title":"Fastest Growing Fig Varieties","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for a fig tree that grows quickly and makes an impressive amount of new growth each season, you've come to the right place. The varieties featured below are some of the most vigorous growers in our collection, often producing several feet of new growth each year once they're established. They tend to leaf out quickly, respond well to warm weather, and can rapidly develop into large, healthy trees with the right care. If your goal is to establish a substantial fig tree in as little time as possible, these are excellent choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's important to remember that fast growth doesn't always mean early fruit production. Some of these varieties may spend their first few years focusing more on building a strong framework of branches before producing heavy crops of figs. In the long run, however, that vigorous growth often pays off with larger, more productive trees. Whether you're starting a backyard orchard, filling in a landscape, or simply don't want to wait years for your tree to gain size, these fast-growing fig varieties are a great place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ge-neri-fig-tree","title":"Ge Neri Fig Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eGe Neri is a sugar-flavored fig variety that produces some of the largest figs you've ever seen!  These massive figs are easily larger than a golf ball, and sometimes almost as big as a tennis ball.
