It depends on the variety. I have 8 mo. old trees with anywhere from 0 to 20 figs. By the third year those that do well in my zone produce upwards to 50 figs or more.

It really does depend on the variety and the size of the tree and the container and fertilizers. The 1st year I tend to get very few ripe figs. Right now I have a bunch of two your old trees running 2'-3' tall producing 10-30 ripe figs per crop with two crops per year per tree.

I have most of them in 15 gallon tree pots. Next year I expect to do much better.

Thisisme,
30 figs on a 3' tree in a 15 gallon pot? What do you FEED them?

The larger the tree the more figs. in a 15 gallon my Negronne made about 20+ figs. My Naples white made about 30 figs.
I've never thought of counting.

Thisisme in my opinion is very correct in saying it depends on conatianer size, fertilizer used, tree size in container.
Some of my larger ones are grown in i would say 30 gallon containers i come to realize, i say this because i was at Menards yesterday and saw what was advertised as 23 gallon containers for 5.98 in black and blue color almost bought a few , there the kind with the rope handles but im thinking of keeping my new plants in smaller ones for space in garage.
Soory to vear off here.
Anyhoot,when i kept count 2 years back i had 150 from el.sals hardy chiago was near 100 and my unknown was at 30 figs and 75% never ripened because its a late riper in my climate. Since then i stopped counting.
This year bad year cause of bad weather.

Hi cath41 and all. Some of my trees have 1-2 main trunks and others have 4. The ones with four are producing smaller figs than those with one or two. Conversely the ones more trunks produce more figs than those with one or two trunks.

If you asked which figs are sweeter and juicier its those from the trees with fewer trunks and larger figs. My bet is in another year or two those trees with more trunks will produce equally large figs while still producing more figs than the single or double trunk trees.

I fertilize once they start leafing out with a layer of de-smelled steer manure and again after the breba crop have been harvested.

Keepitlow,
here is picture for you to show her of what is possible, picture of half the tree showing figs and about 20-25 were eaten in later part of September before this picture was taken.

Single trunk tree.

That is one really nice looking tree Martin. I'm guessing you topped it to encourage branching which makes for a perfect container grown tree.

Very nice indeed.

Thanks
Yes i did that years ago, a fellow member will pick this tree up next month as i decide which ones i no longer have a need for.

Martin is the master of container plants!

If you are looking for container plant recommendations that produce and abundant crop my 4 recommendations are: Improved Celeste (not), Wuhun, Marseilles Blk, and Golden Celeste (in that order). All of those plants are 2 years old and I harvested approx 60 figs from the IC (not) to 30 figs on the golden celeste. Best of all, they are all tasty.
