Living in the NewJersey Suburbs,near Penn. Have had a FIG Bush for 10 yrs.in same place. Grows yearly,covered in winter with Burlap Bgs. Always get growth & fogs but they never get to full size. This year I see thousand of figs but their are only a dozen that may reach golf ball size. Why doesn't this bush yield a good crop complete?
Do fogs need a lot of water?? I feed them "Vigro Plant Food, in Fall and Spring. What else can I do?
Bush has grown to at least 8 feet high and 10 feet wide. Should I be trimming these before they get too High?
And shoukd I cut off branches so sun can get through entire bush??
Any assistance would be appreciated?
I have given my daughter a piece of the bush, it grows in her soil too, but same problem. Small hard figs, and don't get to BIG Size or Ripen..
Thanks,
Bridgewater Joe
