Or could they both be labeled right and one is just happier, due to
light/warmth/soil/pollinators?

My petite nigra in a 20 gallon, barley sets more than a few figs. Steve is
it possible that yours is mislabeled? Many figs sold at nurseries, has
either been renamed,or misslabeled. An exellent site about figs is:

Chris,

I'm surprised about your experience w/Petite Negri.  My potted tree produces
more than a hundred figs in a season.  Quite amazing.  Either our growing
conditions differ drastically or you have a mislabeled cultivar.

  I'll vouch for Chicago Hardy.  It produces for my parents planted in the
ground by a small 
  ornamental pond.  Most years, dies to the ground, but comes back and
produces a crop of figs.
  Some years the figs have not ripened, but now that we know about oiling,
we're more likely to
  get a crop.  I also have one in a pot, and though it does produce figs,
the crop is much 
  smaller.

  I also have what was purchased as Petite Negri (but is more likely
Negronne).  I've had it in a pot 
  for years, but it never produces a fig.  This Spring I'm planting it out
along with the Chicago Hardy.

  Though Chicago Hardy is good, I'd like a larger fig that produced on new
wood (for those years 
  when it gets killed back to the roots).
