Hi my figs doesn't grow since begining of August. They had meny sunshine and hot, but they didn't grow. I marked line on fruit, and the line is now on te same place like month ago. They grew very well and fast in July, but in August they stopped development. This fig tree grows in pot.

These are roughly my details for August in Celsius. Max and min.

Are you talking about the tree is not growing or the size of the fruit is not growing? Fig fruits go through about 60 days of "holding time" as they ripen. Then all of a sudden they burst with growth and in a week they are ready. Could this be what you are experiencing?

Yeah, fruit is not growing. Here is my fruit compare to 1 euro coin. It's main crop, I cut of leaves for more sunlight. 

Panach also have a "holding time"? I thought that is too small for that.

Hey Maris, it's normal ,give them some time and they should start swelling. If the weather stays in the high twenties to med thirties you should be ok. Good luck bud.

Hi Maris,
When did the fruits appear on the trees ?
Panache is from the bourjassotte family, and those are late ripening cultivars. You may have to wait until mid October or later for them to ripen.
Are the other cultivars  in the early ripening class of figs (BT, Dalmatie, Longue d'aout) ?
Temperature is a factor, but proper watering and -fertilizing early in the season- are important too.

ChrisK I'm only waiting, cannot do anything. ;) 

jdsfrance Unknown fig appeared in beginning July, and stopped development more over 10 VIII Panache appeared in late July and stopped development 2 and half weeks ago. I didn't fertilizing in this year, sometimes I'm just added some banana peel to soil in pot, or eggshell 5 or 6 times in this season. That' all

MARIS. I THINK I HAVE THE PROBLEM ONLY ON MY BLACK BETHLEHEM. ONE FIG STARTED GROWING AND STOPPED AND MORE FRUIT ON THE SAME TREE IS STARTING TO GROW WAY AFTER THE ORIGINAL FIG. ITS STAYING VERY SMALL LIKE A NICKLE SIZE.
