I just love the foliage and the shape of the branches. I'm thinking of putting one in my front garden, but I'm not sure if it's sunny enough. Is yours in full sun? I'm thinking maybe it is to have so much ripe fruit.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-5168645834962516232013-08-30T21:22:41.282+01:002013-08-30T21:22:41.282+01:00Mmm figs ....Mmm figs ....Compostwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028585447065282738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-78414181403853857602013-08-30T19:32:32.153+01:002013-08-30T19:32:32.153+01:00I have a brown fig tree in a large pot, but have o...I have a brown fig tree in a large pot, but have only managed to grow a lot of folage, missing the figs since I planted it 3 years ago. Any idea what I could do to improve things? I`m beginning to wonder if I should plant it out into open soil, but had been previously told to confine its root system. So, now I`m not sure to what actions to take to get some figs growing for next year. Any advice would be appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-11411839603469562572013-08-30T19:32:20.836+01:002013-08-30T19:32:20.836+01:00I wish I had the climate to grow a fig tree!
