That's a bummer about the lack of productivity. Out of the five varieties I started from cuttings last year in Jan/2023 this variety has blown away all the others in terms of vigor. I did see that "The Fig Boss" on his website says this about TX-BA1, "The variety requires a lot of light to set the fruit buds like another difficult but worth it tree, Colonel Littman's Black Cross. These trees in my 7-8 hours of standard direct light is just not enough, but this year I finally got some to try." I did get a couple figs off the 1st year tree last season and I have to say they are the ugliest figs I have ever seen. The color reminds me of the skin of the Southern Leopard Frog. However, they did taste pretty good for a 1st year fig.
