Wow, that IS a big tree, with beautiful fruit. Is it Brown Turkey? My figs are more elongated than yours with a longer stalk end. A few of my branches/twigs touching the ground are trying to root there, so I am thinking of digging one out in the autumn and planting at my allotment. The trees I have are in a small back yard and have to be kept within bounds.
I didn't know you could grow fig trees from cuttings. I'd like a fig, I'll have to hunt one down.
Just been reading about outdoor UK figs and everything says they need a south-facing wall. Now my only south-facing wall is based with concrete and constantly shaded by the orchard trees and the garage, which doesn't sound like a good place at all.Would a fig be okay against a south-facing fence, do you think? How do you wall-less allotment people grow them? I really like figs so I'd love to grow one.
