There are now commercial apricot orchards in Kent, Bardsley farms produce 200 odd tons.
I haven’t heard of anyone growing figs commercially in the uk. I’ve got a couple of rows in France.
Odd trees, like cats they do their own thing. We just prune, feed and water, and they crop when they want.
They do have the strangest of pollination methods, using a special co- evolved wasp that lives in the growing fruit.
