Anyone out there grown figs from cutting to fruit? Love eating them but they do not love our soil - they struggle and fruit poorly.

Thanks

Gday waz. Yes it can be done and they do produce fruit. Hence why they can become a serious weed in wetlands. Have spent a lot of time removing them from Gingin Brook a few years back.

Thanks Bender,

Thought that would be the case considering how they like water. Glad to hear that they will fruit, now just to work out the best site for them....

wish i had the room to grow some trees in hydroponics (without pissing off the neighbours) my parents have a fig tree in the front yard growing through the front fence. had a heap of friut that had all dropped off due to not enough water/too many 39deg days. it pretty big considering it grow from seed.

good luck.

i want to grow a lemon tree myself. not enough water and a plant will drop fruit to save itself. more mulch/regular watering will get more fruit for "ground" plants.
