when does fig tree form fruits?
Comments (2)I tend to see the beginning of the main crop on the first or second leaf node. Certainly some are later than others. My TX EB has begun to leaf out, but I haven't checked it for fruit. My BT is still dormant from being in the fridge. Some people have also reported in their experience container grown figs will produce fruit earlier in life than those in the ground. ~james p.s. I just ate kumquats for the first time this past weekend. If you remind me towards the end of this season, I might be willing to trade a fig tree for a kumquat.

Comments (5)Nurseries tend to be better at keeping the plants happy (its their full-time job after all) and so your new plant was very happy there so is showing its happiness in delayed fashion - those figs were set as the tree went dormant. I had some trees do that and then not produce another fig for several years. There is also a large variety difference. In my main planting my youngest fig is now setting the biggest breba crop I have ever seen. Scott...See MoreYoung tree bearing fruit
Comments (10)You may get different opinions from others, but I would let the tree do what it wants to do this first year. I assume since you are in zone 9 that the tree has actually put on SOME new growth this year and that is where all these figs are. It is very likely the tree is acting this way because it is in a completely new environment. I wouldn't worry about the tree. I'm sure that after this winter and a period of dormancy the tree will take off growing next year. I have a similar situation with several 3rd year 5 gal. fig trees that were given to me in early April. They had been kept in a greenhouse several miles South of New Orleans, LA (150 miles South of where I live in Jackson, MS). They had broken dormancy probably in late Feb. or early Mar. In this greenhouse they were watered regularly by a timed sprinkler system. They had grown quite a bit in their first month or so since breaking dormancy. Well, I brought them back to Jackson and put them (still in pots) with my other figs. Unlike the rest of my figs they didn't grow at all. Then around the middle of April some of the trees began to pop out a LOT of figs. The figs are doing well, but on the trees that have produced figs the distal buds still haven't reopened and pushed out any new growth. The trees that didn't produce figs have finally started some new growth. In any event, I believe everything will "normalize" after their first season here, and I bet your tree will do the same.

Comments (2)Gail Just having a fig fruit on a plant rooted from cutting can happen in the 2nd summer of the plant life (though some plants may surprise you with a couple of figs in the first summer if rooted in the early winter). The 3rd summer you can expect a dozen or more figs depending on the growth pattern, summer heat and summer length. Full production peaking sometimes between the 5th and 7th year. Of course there are many variable that can change the production volume and pattern such as care or lack of it, fertilization, proper pruning etc. Ripening of figs on the plants is a different issue....See Moregarybeaumont_gw
