My wife bought these 2 cuttings from a nursery in Greece 5 years ago, but we have no idea what variety they are, and really hoping someone can help us identify them.
Also, secondarily looking for any advice on trying to get them to fruit and when to move in-ground
DETAILS:
Size at planting: 18-inch cuttings, no leaves
Age: 5 years old
Current tree size: 4' H x 3' W (when they have all leaves)
Pot size: Years 1-3 in a small 1x1 pot, Years 3-5 a black pot, 2' W x 1.5' H
Fertilized: Not when first planted, but in year 3 when moving to larger pot I used 50% native 50% miracle gro potting for trees. Have not fertilized at all since
Watering: Spring/Fall - every 3 days, but only if it doesn't rain (see note below)
Sun: Year 1-3 sat on east wall of house, brought indoors every winter. Year 3-5, moved to a west wall and get about 10 hours sun in summer
Fruit: Year 1-3 nothing, Year 4 - each produced about 5 figlets, but never reached ripening, Year 5 (current) - nothing, not even buds
The first 3 years in small pots, they always produced a lot of leaves, but never grew at all. They literally exploded when I moved them to the larger pots. The new pots have those reservoirs at the bottom that store water for extended periods... not sure if that's good/bad, but that's primarily why I don't water them daily. In hotter summer months I try to water every other day, esp if I see the reservoir is empty. I plan to move these to in-ground this fall or maybe spring?
The first 2 pics are of 1 of my 2 trees (in pot), and the last 2 are from a fully mature tree in Greece (it's probably over 30 years old and is about 20-25 feet tall and 30 feet wide).
