My Figs Are Stunted, The Leaves Are Huge. Should I Cut The Leaves Off Above The Fruit So The Energy Goes Into The Figs Rather Than

the leaves The fig buds arrived late, and they are 1/3rd the size of an edible fig. Unless i take action I think they will stay very small whilst the leaves get ever larger.
