- Figs are all looking much better this year than they did at this time last year. Not much breba but the main crop is looking good.

Its ok. Even if your fig tree has a down year still grow it so you can drink Fig Leaf Tea.😋
In the fall when the leaves get yellow they're also good to drink...since It tastes like Marshmallow.
The most high made sure nothing goes to waste.😊
fig leaf tea sounds interesting. Is it better to make the tea with fresh leaves or dry them first?
I have an Olympia Fig in a pot. I’ve lost the Breba crop two years in a row. The first year I chalked it up to our early June heatwave. This year it could not have been the same problem as I was really monitoring and watering it. I’ve never eaten a fresh fig so two years of disappointment has me considering a change in variety.
Bummer! I think part of the reason mine are doing poorly is because they are getting shaded by the surrounding apple and plum tree which I'm considering removing this winter.
My potted Olympia Fig did the same thing and drop some figs and stopped growing because of the heat in June. Once I started watering it more, it solved the problem. The leaves looked fine the whole time, but the growth tips stalling out was the first sign that I ignored.
My trees have been in ground here in Texas for 2 years still no figs because of die back over winter I think it'll just take time for them to adapt they were cuttings to start with
In Texas really? Wow that is surprising. How cold does it get in winter where you are?
@gapey we get down to 19 degrees last year but it wasn't for very long my trees are just young I put them directly I'm ground when they rooted out of cups
I think in the future I'll grow them out in at least a 3 gallon pot the first year
Water your fig trees more then usual. Also just something you should know in general is "Pinching" your fig trees.
Fertilizer is also good...like something that's high in nitrogen
I got my Olympian in 2022. This is the first year I got figs...first Breba is ripening and it is huge..almost tennis ball size.
😎🤙
I'm in Zone 4 and all my fig trees are in pots. Don't get rid of your unproductive trees. Just graft onto them better varieties that are productive for you.
I have too many figs as it is. I need any excuse to get rid of a few. lol
