Fig Tree

Dear all
My fig tree for the 1st time since planting (5 years old) has no fruit.
Could anyone tell me if I've done something wrong or do they sometimes
have dormant years.
Thank You
Dermot

Did you have an unusually big crop last season? If so, it may be your tree
just
taking a rest. To prevent this 'biennial' (every second year) behavior, thin
your
fruit early in their life cycle to take a load off the tree. By the way,
this principle
holds for almost any fruit tree.
