The propagation success I didn't expect with Fig Tree

I started with one Fig Tree and now have four, all from propagation. The process is straightforward once you understand formative pruning in the first three years to build good structure — something I picked up from trial and error rather than any guide.

I display them in a large half-barrel container on a sunny patio which shows off blossom spectacle in spring before any other ornamental value at its best. winter pruning while the tree is dormant is when they're most impressive. biennial bearing producing a heavy crop every other year has been my main challenge across all of them, but it's manageable now that I know what to look for. A genuinely generous plant if you let it be.
