A few years ago I planted a fig - lining the hole with paving flags to confine the roots. Despite that it grows alarmingly each year!
Last year it produced about 7 figs which the birds and wasps devoured - the later ones produced where killed off by the frosts.
In the winter I pruned it down, perhaps not properly, as this spring it sprouted only 2. But when they reached a reasonable size I protected them by covering them with plastic bags.
Unfortunately whilst in hospital one blew but I managed to "save" one - sadly I cannot eat it on my current very low fibre diet
Lots more little ones appearing but like last year they won't reach maturity before the frosts I think?
Any gardening experts there?
