Twelve years and 20 feet high, not a single fig ever. What are you doing to make it fruit? I have heard that containing the roots is supposed to help, but I shall need a big container.
ACE - my tree is about 9 years old, massive, and is just planted in theground without any root restriction. More fruit every year than anyonecould possibly eat.
Brilliant PL!My tree is full of fruit but I don't think any is ripe yet, I'll havea look this morning.ACE - my tree is about 9 years old, massive, and is just planted in theground without any root restriction. More fruit every year than anyonecould possibly eat.

More fruit every year than anyonecould possibly eat.Mine is quite the opposite, in that I followed the advice I read and created a yard-square hole lined with multiple-layers of broken tiles before planting it.It is planted hard against the house wall. Right in the rain-shadow area so it only really gets wet, other than when I feed it, on a screaming Southerner while our prevailing wind is Westward.Needless to say, it fruits and fruits and fruits. I had the first, a small one , yesterday. Here they come!
We picked about 20 Brown Turkey today to give tastes to NGS Open Day visitors.... you are expecting too much Grannie Annie -15C is about the limit... last year we lost about 1/3rd of our top growth to the cold...
I think Saddad is saying -15 is the limit for figs, rather than the temperature he experiences GrannieAnnie. Derby is the balmy south of Derbyshire (Of course he'll come on now and post some horrendous low temp! BTW the thought of -23 sends shivers down my spine brrr.......)
