How do I help my poor fig tree?
Hello
I planted a fig tree 8 years ago. It is alive but it doesn't grow any and it doesn't produce figs. How can I help it.

Oh my, by year 8 you should have a full grown producing tree! Let's figure this out by process of elimination. What zone are you in? Find out here:

See if any of these help.

I an in zone 9 and have 3 fig trees in my yard. All gifts of nature. This photo was last August.
I would suggest contacting your local Ag Extension and having a consult with a local arborist.
TJ, I've never had a fig tree so I had to resort to finding your information. I hope this helps, they are a pretty tree.
