What are some characteristics that might improve in more mature fig tree?  Will a fig tree become more cold tolerant as it gets older?  Are there more dramatic changes in any varieties when they get older?  Can a fig tree which always drops it figs when young  then produce great figs after 5 years old?  Will a fig like Madeira sprout figs earlier when it get older and maybe require less heat hours too?  Do figs always improve fig quality as it gets older.  When is a fig tree considered mature? 5+, 10+ years.  What is the oldest fig tree that you have? What changes have you seen?  Have you ever seen a topic with more questions?

Bigger tree more fruit, more cold tolerant to a degree, older tree better fruit, older tree earlier fruit. Sal's Corleone as an example has begun ripening main crop figs already, in the past not until mid or late September.

Older trees set their fruit earlier than small, young trees, so there is abtter chance of ripening them.

On seedlings the fruit make take 10 years or more to reach maturity, and may look completely different when older.

On some, flavor improves, or it may be a difference in weather soil, etc.

Moving from pot to in-ground changes things, as well.

Cold tolerance in many different plants improves with age.

Some figs are awesome from fig 1, and others do need time to mature. They can get better. Don't think I have any that have gotten worse with age.
