What about fig trees? Ours never produced larger than thumb-tip sized green
fruit this year and it has been HOT (for us in Seattle 90-95 degrees)...
I've got comfrey planted under it which is doing pretty well considering how
late I buried the roots....
Any ideas on why the fruit didn't produce this year? Is it cyclical?
thanks!
