Fig Plant

Lanarkshire,Scotland, United Kingdom Gb

Anyone have one of these? Not sure what to expect from it...Does it flower-or just get larger? I have it in our north-facing front garden.
At the moment its about a metre across and looking vigorous....

I have a young fig tree. Is this what you have? If you look at my photos you will see a pic taken this week. It is covered with small figs, and the leaves get pretty big. It does not have flowers that are visible.

Hi Begoniafan - be aware that there are quite a few different plants that we call figs. I'm assuming you have the sort that actally produces figs!! They have large leaves which from memory I think have 3 lobes and I think the fruit appears in the leaf axils. The only things I know about growing figs is that they need full sun and they fruit best when their roots are constricted - I think I've seen the bases of the plants 'hemmed in' with stone or slate to constrict the roots near the surface. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your responses.....I really must take pics of my plants I have questions about and upload them!!! I now have doubts about it
being a fig....Looks more like a swiss-cheese plant although its outdoors! Needless to say-I did not plant it.
