Hi. I’m in southern Ontario Canada, zone 6a. This is my second attempt to grow figs. My first attempt I did everything wrong but got about 8 figs anyway. I have no garage to overwinter a fig plant, and all of my house is heated. The first year I brought the tree indoors after the leaves fell off in the fall. I had it under my skylight. In January it grew leaves and fruit. I transplanted it to a very large pot and kept it in my 3 season sunroom, but it did not do very well. Then illness and covid made us let the tree go. It did not survive the winter. I happened to find one little unlabelled fig at a garden centre closeout. I left it in its little 6” pot and put it in the dark for about 2 months then back under the skylight. It grew 2 leaves and 1 fruit. So now what? Will it grow more leaves? More fruit?
remove the fruit and feed the tree. Make sure the tree is getting a good amount of light if it it is still inside. A window is not enough especially if it is a low-E window.
