I am on a condo balcony fighting for more sun with everything else, and they have been deemed 2nd tier in the sun hierarchy. I should be moving at the end of the year (no idea where to) and one thing high on the wish list is backyard space.
Are they getting very little sun, or are they really young? Around here, they grow so fast and embrace everything they can. A few of them in that disposition would grow to engulf your entire house if you don't tame them. But they're native in here tho.
Haha i remember those feels, good luck!
I used to have a peach and fig tree, but I had to off load them on the in-laws. The MIL killed the fig, but the peach is still going strong! It was getting super lopsided on the balcony. No amount of rotating was going to stop it. One day....
