I thought I was taken. But within couple of months the tree was full of branches and leaves and by August was full of Figs. So your tree should branch out quickly. Mine is about 24 inches wide from a lonly stick and it branched all the way from top to bottom and some came from the root.

Thank you for your reply. The tree is in its second growing season, 3 feet tall with no branches. My concern is that each year new leaves would sprout only on the top. Can I expect branches next year along the trunk? Thank you. Thank you for your reply. The tree is in its second growing season, 3 feet tall with no branches.

In the spring the leaves will regrow along the branches and new woody growth. Hi Ken, the leaves will die and fall off as the fig tree goes dormant.
