Why doesn't my fig trees produce figs?

It may need to be pruned to stimulate it next season. I dont know about figs but allot of fruit %26amp; nut trees need another tree of if its type to pollenate %26amp; produce fruit.

Why doesn't my fig trees produce figs?
Maybe they are all male. You need trees of each sex to get figs on the females. The male plants never have figs.
Reply:You probably need to have 2 trees in order to produce fruit!
Reply:because they r not fig tree...hehehe
Reply:Good question. Ask a green house person. I really don't know. Sorry about that. Now I am thinking about fig newton bars. yummy--sometimes.
Reply:It could be that the tree needs to get more mature. Some fruit trees are about 4-5 years old before they bear well. And is it getting enough sun? That is a major factor. I have a fig tree that is about 3 years old and it is not bearing yet. But it is getting taller and maybe next year...

My lemon trees did the same thing. Year 1--2 lemons. Year 2--0 lemons Year 3--2 lemons. Year 4 bumper crop, too many to count. Same w/ Year 5.
Reply:Depends on the species of fig trees you have.



If you have Calrimyrna Fig trees and live in California,



the flowers of these trees are pollinated by fig wasps

("Blastophaga psenes").
