What conditions do figs like? We have a fig tree down the back of our yard
in Northern Melbourne. It's maybe 3 metres tall. Was here when we moved in 3
years ago. It's never produced fruit. I'm contemplating getting rid of it if
it's not going to ever fruit as it's in a garden bed where I'd like to plant
more veg. What do you think?

But has the fig ever flowered? Maybe you are just missing the tiny wasp
about 3mm in length that is needed for pollination?

A web search will get you more detailed information than I can give,
but being a Mediterranean plant they like sunshine and heat, good
drainage, water and chook poo. Figs did well where I grew up, and
despite hot dry summers we would get a couple of dozen frosts during
winter. They seem to be a hardy tree, though this may differ from one
variety to another.
