Fig Tree in pot care?
By Shieldsy
London,

Approx 6 feet, just got it from a neighbour so know nothing of it's history not exactly sure what type ,except that I am told it is hardy.Have it in the sunniest part of garden up against a wall. Looked healthy two weeks ago and fruit seems strong albeit golf ball small and green. Am told this is perhaps the type of fruit that wil stay on and ripen for next year (?) but now lower leaves starting to curl and drop too, don't know if that is normal -i.e. dropping leaves but young fruit?. Seems quite dry soil. Should I still be watering it (every day? is Oct 17) or bring into cold glazed porch yet for example. Welcome any advice at all..

I would still be watering it...in a pot it can't send out its roots to look for water as it would in open ground. I believe figs stay on for two years.

I agree with Sid and Nosypotter....having said that...if there are any fruit on the plant now larger than a pinhead...you may as well taken them off cos they won't stay the course for next year.... Good Luck!

welcome to GoY. sorry i dont have any experience with these but i am sure some one else will be able to help you. good luck with it.
the only thing i would say is if it has been indoors all this time i would bring it in until the spring/early summer next year. it will be too cold for it to stay out.
