I have a beautiful mission fig tree. The leaves are luscious but it yields no fruit. Can anyone tell me why?

Answer 1

perhaps it never fully goes into flower due to light/soil/etc conditions?

cheers!

Answer 2

Has it been exposed to frost? Read below

The common fig bears a first crop, called the breba crop, in the spring on last season's growth. The second crop is borne in the fall on the new growth and is known as the main crop. In cold climates the breba crop is often destroyed by spring frosts. The matured "fruit" has a tough peel (pure green, green suffused with brown, brown or purple), often cracking upon ripeness, and exposing the pulp beneath. The interior is a white inner rind containing a seed mass bound with jelly-like flesh. The edible seeds are numerous and generally hollow, unless pollinated. Pollinated seeds provide the characteristic nutty taste of dried figs.

Additionally, exposure to sun and how they are pruned and fertilized affect fruit production. See the link below for more info.

Good luck!

Answer 3

It is a male tree. Some trees have to be grafted to produce fruit. A bit of a male tree is grafted to a female tree. It is a kind of tree sex, though not nearly as exciting as the animal version.

Answer 4

if it blooms and no fruit appears,it is not being pollinated.no blooms means it's a male plant,(seriously.)
