Don't grow figs unrestricted!Cheers.
My fig tree was grown from a cutting given to me by my brother in law, who grew his tree from a cutting given to him so we have no idea of the variety, except that it isn't Brown Turkey.Mine is about 8 years old now, and is growing unrestricted in the ground on my plot.It fruits every year and last year I had a massive crop of very tasty figs. So many, that I picked at least 40 in one go for my granddaughter's birthday party in August.
The fig tree is growing on my plot at the allotment. I'm afraid I don't know the correct term for our soil - I would call it 'normal'! It is definitely not clay.None of my Italian relatives restrict the roots on their fig trees and they all seem to get heavy crops each year. I don't think they grow them deliberately like this, they might not have heard of restricting the roots.
