I would be interested. I have a fig tree which may or may not have
fruit - and I'd like to know what to do to get the best out of it. It
produces lots and lots of embryo figs but, often, few get to maturity.

I wonder if figs suffer from a seasonal 'drop' as apple trees do? Anyone know?

I haven't noticed it with my tree but it is only a few years old. My
neighbours' trees are next to the path and I never notice any fallen
fruit.
