My two metre tall tree (in a LARGE tub) is down to 6 viable looking
fruits......They are about 3 cm long at the moment.


How large a tub? I'm thinking of growing one, but on a roof, and am
bothered about weight.

Mine's in a black plastic/rubber builders trough (they use them to mix
plaster etc in)
It's 40cm diameter and about the same in height.

Mine is situated on my first floor roof garden. Be sure to place it
near the edge of the roof or over a load bearing wall.

The fig is tucked in between the greenhouse and the wall........
