Ive inherited a Chicago Hardy fig tree 4 years ago when we bought our farm in Southern Illinois. Every spring when I unwrap it (after the last frost), there's new growth/branches but the branches from the year before never get leaves and eventually die off. Help. How do I get it to continue to grow and not die off and start over every year? It does produce small figs every season, but never gets any bigger.
