Hello I was curious at the average yield range for 5+ year old trees in large SIPS. I would assume that most use 55 gallon drum SIPS, but would welcome feedback from 15 and 35 gallon sips as well. A 4 year old back mission in a 25 gallon nursery pot produced 40-50 figs per season, so is it a safe assumption that a productive variety might produce 1-200 figs in a 55 gallon SIP if maintained at 6-8 feet? Thanks for any feedback and for reading.

I have a 2nd leaf that produced 40 figs in a 10 gallon. A VDB. I didn't count my other 2nd leafs, but they have around 30-40. So I would think 200 would be easy in a 55 gallon! I use root pouches not SIPS.
Here it is

That's a bushy tree! Nice work. I haven't heard of root pouches, what are they? Thanks for your input!

Bill's 25 gal sips will produce 200 fruits on a mature tree per season.

Great thanks Rafaelissimo! I assume that 25 gallon sips are 50 gallon drums cut in half?
