This year has been tough on our fig, and I suspect that it is not
going to sprout well - it looks as if a few weedy tip shoots may
break into leaf, but not much else. My inclination is that, if
it does that, to cut those back, and force it to regrow from old
wood.

Has anyone experience with figs and late frosts, and does that
make sense?


One thing - on our Brown Turkey the figs are on the tips, so if you cut
these back you may lose all this year's fruit.

Ours has just started puttting out leaves, and although we haven't had a
late frost it has in the past been frost hardy.
Yours may just be a late starter this year because of the continuing cold
weather.

Possibly worth waiting a few weeks to see what developes?
