In a fit of excitement dunkan uttered:

Several days ago, I posted:

With mucho thanks to Rick McGreal, five photographs of my fig-in-a-pot are
now on line at http://tycoonheaven.mynock.com/fig/

I'd greatly appreciate you experts casting a professional eye over them,
and letting me know what I should be doing to make it a happier fig tree!

(The shrubbery is a bedding plant I added to the pot on Wednesday,
following advice here; it's not a fixture, so if it'd be sensible to move
it...?)

All help and advice very much appreciated!

(And thanks again, Rick)

And since then I've been patiently checking the group every few minutes,
anxious to learn what should be done to help my tree... but not a single
response!

Help really WOULD be appreciated...

Ok, I'm no Tropical expert, but I would remove all growth bar the single
shoot with leaves. Looks like late frost damage on the shoots, but can't be
sure. I have a 9 year old fig against a south facing fence, and it grows
really vigorously, but no fruit. We are on heavy clay in the North West. We
can cut it to the ground and it comes back every time. It looks slightly
different to yours in that the leaves are fully three fingered and
palmately lobed once open. We believe the source seed was from Turkey, (a
yummy box of Turkish Dried Figs brought as a pressie) and thus it will be
unlikely to bear fruit in the NW of England.
We live in hope....
