Kristi, I agree. I eat more figs while standing next to the tree than elsewhere! The years I get an abundance, or save them up for a few days, will I make some jam/preserves!

Geof, depending on what variety you have will determine whether it is "pot friendly." Some of the smaller bushes, Kadota comes to mind, are better suited for container growing than others. And keep in mind, feeding it too much fertilizer will also keep it producing mostly foliage and very little, if any, fruit. Just something to keep in mind. From another perspective, I've had in-ground fig trees that never produced til their fourth or fifth year so hang in there. I'm sending you vibrations of hope!
