    This fig tree is not going anywhere @tuikowhai34.  It is huge and very firmly anchored.   We have been given a small one that is planted in our potager and will be nurtured with as much neglect as it needs  to see if we can get fruit from there.

    I'd definitely pot those figs into something a bit larger and if you really want to get ripe figs, bearing in mind our climate is unreliable, keep them in a greenhouse. A few years back I was at Audley End and the glasshouses had a collection of fig trees, each with just one stem and about three or four feet tall. I thought I'd copy the experts so I took cuttings from my fig trees, put them in the greenhouse, and got ripe figs for the first time.
  • I’ve had a fig tree in a very large(10 gallon?) pot for eight years and it has never born fruit. Two years ago I obtained a cutting from an alligator refuge in southern Colorado and grew it. It’s also in a large pot, and it has about twenty figs on it. Same location, same watering and care. I just don’t thing the older tree is ever going to bear fruit.
