How old does the tree have to get before it will produce figs?

I planted the two ordered on 7/20/14 and they grew from 8" to 36"and26"respectively. I read that next season may see some sm. fruits, and some suggest culling them to allow more root development. 'so. . not enough data.

I live in New York, I got quite a number of figs the first year but very small.

I'm sorry. I have never "met" any figs except the dried kind. I would think that, if you are able to encircle it gently with the grabber, it would be okay if the fig is soft like a ripe peach. If the skin is "stretched tight" like on a plum, it might pop it.

I have only had the tree for two years and it has not produced any fruit yet. It depends on where you live if there is a chance of freezing I would not plant it in the ground.

I have had my tree for almost a year and have not had any olives yet. But I am hoping that I get some within the next two years.

I have had mine for a year now, and it has not borne fruit. But it is still very healthy and has actually split into 2 plants, because one of the branches bent down into the dirt and took root. Now I have 2. Hopefully will fruit this coming summer.

About 8to10 feet tall.Be careful in June July August. Check for good root system. Every other day.Add nitrogen twice a year. The first year develop a good root system.don't cut the suckers they will feed the trunk.Next year you start shaping the tree. God Luck

I don't know. For what it's worth, I was told in an extension service meeting that the Hardy Chicago is not necessarily more winter hardy than other varieties, but that it bears quickly on first year growth. Thus, even if it freezes back, you may get figs on the new growth, whereas other varieties will not mature figs on the new growth without an extended growth season. I haven't had mine long enough to know what it will do vs other varieties I've got.Lee E.

Not to sure. Depending on your settings (temp & light, moisture), it can anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. Your best bet is to ask a nursery owner.

I have not tried it with figs, it probably will work if the figs are big enough.

Janet: I purchased this tree earlier in the year and planted it in large pot in the yard. It's doing well but I know it will take a couple of years to bear fruit. You should feel confident in placing it in a pot. Laura

It's very small, compared to pictured mature cactus. It is being grown in a greenhouse at temps no lower than 50 degrees F. Don't expect any fruit for several years.

Under the right conditions yes, but I'm under the impression that you would need o bonsai the tree so it doesn't grow to full size after maturity

I have only had it for two years but it is said to reach 8 to 10 ft at total maturity but you can also prune the tree.

It's not age that determines when it's ready to produce fruit, but the bulk of the cactus itself. Many growers say that the cacti must weight about 10lbs before you have any chance of it fruiting. The growth of the cactus varies by climate. I live in Connecticut, and unfortunately my cactus has to live indoors for half of the year to avoid frost damage. I've had it for almost 3 years and it still hasn't borne fruit. I'm hoping this summer will finally be fruitful, pun intended!

I'd say not more than a couple days. It is well packaged but it's a tree. Needs sun and water. The large box is filled with packing peanuts and the pot is wrapped in plastic. Really no way to care for the plant without removing it from the box. It's a very nice tree at a good price. Worth the effort.

I got my 2 trees about 8 months ago, they are potted & are both about 2 feet tall. Won't really know how big they're going to get until this growing season. It's cold now & they're inside.
