Why is my fig tree not producing fruit?
If your fig tree is healthy but not producing fruit, possible reasons include:
- Too much nitrogen: Encourages leaf growth over fruit.
- Lack of sun: Figs need full sun to develop fruit.
- No root restriction: Overgrown roots result in fewer fruits.
- Incorrect pruning: Removing new shoots may cut off fruiting branches.
- Age: Young fig trees may take a few years to start fruiting.
To encourage fruiting, restrict roots, feed appropriately, prune at the right time, and ensure the tree gets at least 6 hours of direct sun per day in summer.
