Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye

Bought 3 about 3 years ago. They grew vigorously reaching over 2.5m high each. Grows more like a bush than a tree. Had hundreds of fruits but not one was edible. They were all rock hard. So made the painful decision to remove them all this year.

I have had my sandpaper fig for almost a year. It is in a large pot and gets full sun until midday then filtered to little for the rest of the day. It is about six feet tall very bushy and has produced dozens of fruit.

Looked interesting and I love native plants. Native plants that I can eat are even better. Growing in pot for 7 months, has really taken off since October (four months old then) and now growing about 13 fruits that I can see.

I purchased this tree from Daleys only a few weeks ago and it is already fruiting at less than a metre high! Nearly 10 figs I have counted, which is more than the leaves that are on the tree! Not sure whether they will drop or not, but I am quite astou...

Great selection. 2 In 350ltr fabric pots. Once roots established, it will not stop fruiting. Only approx 1 meter tall & 6 months in pots they have produced more then 30 fruits each. Have trimmed back to train tree & second flush of fruit has appeared.

I have taken out the leader and the plant is very happy on the outer edge of a shaded 'rainforest' garden. Watch out for scale! It's now 2 years old and a metre high, quite close between a Burdekin plum and Walking stick palms. I'll cincture soon.
