Fiddle-leaf figs are members of a group of plants which are grown as ornamentals-they do not bear fruit. Fruiting fig trees usually do not bear until after 3 to 6 years. Be patient.: : : I have a fig tree that is a little over a year old. I do not know what kind it is, but the leaves are very big and look a little like grape leaves.
: I can't get it to grow out, it just keeps growing up. What do I do? It looks like I planted a branch instead of a tree.
: How long does it normally take to get fruit? Anyone know what kind of fig tree this is?
: Thanks.
Sounds like you have a fiddle leaf fig. They usually grow straight up. I don't know much else about them. They are nice plants.
