I have 2 unknown fig trees potted in each 20 gal containers, they are just 2 years old. Last year they all got some fruits (not a lot for the first year) in June then ripen in early Sept. This year up to now, they all have a lot of leaves but no fruit at all. I am hoping they will have fruits in July or otherwise, they will not have enough time provide no fruit and ripen this year as temperature will turn out cooler in Oct in Vancouver, B.C. Any idea why this happen ?

I am on the same boat, I plant couple fig trees in ground few months ago and they missed breba fig, so I don't want to miss main crop. However, They do not grow well and worry me.

My guess is that, Depend on type of fig trees, It has a time clock, When the right time come, it will evaluate its nutrition situation and decide that to bear fig or not.

If it has lots of nutrition, It will grow more roots, Then grows baby leaves, and If it still have nutrition leftover, It bears figlet.

10 days ago, I gave them some cheap tomato fertilizer with some epsom salt and lime,
so far, hardy Chicago has responsed and each leaves have figlets formed under each leaves for last 3 days.
one 1 Ft tall potted "Desert king" has responsed as well and bears one breba fig 4 days ago
There are other fig trees response as well but I need few more days to confirm that it is leave buds or figlets.

Other known trick is that, you can take the tips off ( baby buds), I think that it will force it to put extra nutrition to form figlet, It is my plan B.

Anyway, I am quite new and always fail, , I hope some expert will shine some lights on it.

Thanks Ricky !

Since I did add some limestone and also took the tips off of each plant a month ago, but no respond, so I will give this a trial by adding some tomato water solution fertilizer to-morrow to see if able to perform some figlets or not.
