My wife and I recieved a fig tree from her father four years ago while it was still in a wash tub and produced many figs. He thought it was root bound and should be planted. So we found the sunniest spot in our yard and planted the tree. As a tree it's done extremely well growing profusely and is very lush. However in the four years we've only had a handfull of figs. We've cut cut it back dramatically thinking maybe it's putting all it's efforts into growing ornimental instead of fruit. It rebounded from some rot last winter (when it's wrapped up) and is as lush as ever (but no figs). It's a Kadota variety and gets about six hours of direct sunlight a day.
