I’m a keen backyard fruit and veggie grower, and a lot of my plants do very well. However, I’ve got a fig tree that’s been quite a poor performer for years now which is so unlike figs which usually fruit under awful conditions. This hasn’t fruited for 3-4 years. It’s a black genoa I bought from a nursery a while back, and aside from a kind of mosaic discolouration on the leaves, I can’t see anything wrong with it. It might be getting some competition from the feijoa near it, and there’s a eucalypt too, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for any of the other plants.
