dumb questions

19 years ago

2 years ago at the Fall Festival in Crystal Springs, MS., I bought a fig tree from a grower and he called it a King Fig. It overwintered in the pot on the porch and then I planted it last spring. I was so surprised when I got these figs. p.s., this is my hand

So last year I went back to the Fall Festival and got him to bring me 2 more King figs, which I picked up the next day. These also overwintered in the pots on the porch and here is one of the figs that I picked yesterday. p.s. this is my husband's hand

The 1st King Fig lost all it's crop this year due to late frost. It has not grown very much at all. The 2nd 2 King Figs were planted well after frost, but still dropped most of theirs. These 2 trees shot up and probably grew 3 feet each. They are close to the garden and must have gotten runoff fertilizer from the rain.

So is the size of these figs a good indication of what these trees will produce when they are fully mature? Or will the fruit get bigger?

By the way, the figs last year and this year were very sweet and tasty.

Thanks,
