Fig Growth Issue

@RosyPosy
Ficus physiology is different from many other perennials. Its requirements for phosphate are lower than its requirements for nitrogen and potassium (P.H. Brown, 1994). This is because the “fruit” is not a flower – it is a vegetative container (syconium) that contains many tiny flowers. The syconium is unique to Ficus. Ficus ignores excess phosphate.

Longue d’Aout is a prize cultivar. The figs are worth the wait. Ensure that the pH in the soils of your figs are in the range 7 to 8.0.
