Default Fig and Olive Container-growing Help

Only a few figs fruit on new growth, like Brown Turkey, celeste. The leaves of these
figs are very round while the leaves of thos figs bear on last years wood are more
lancet shaped.
the picture to the left of the caption "BROWN TURKEY --- RIPE" shows the difference
in the leaves. round lobed on top, lancet shaped on bottom of the same picture.

Figs fruit on new growth so you can prune it hard after fruiting each year
and the new growth that season will bear the fruit next year.
