I seem to be getting a bumper crop of figs this year for the first time.
The tree is about twenty years old and either produces nothing to
maturity or only about half a dozen or so mature fruit. Yes, I do know
about root pruning and removing all unripe fruit from the previous year
but this year I did nothing to it and as my reward it is producing
masses (well, a hundred or so) of figs.

I suspect it is more to do with the long, cold spring - but could I be
right? Has anyone else had the same experience this year?
