I've always assumed that a cutting from a dormant limb that would produce flowers/fruit the next Spring would still produce the flowers/fruit. I noticed that specifically with figs (figs are really flowers). My dog and I have enjoyed about a dozen figs from a black mission fig tree that I started last winter from a sprout I cut off below ground - it had a few little roots. For some reason, the 6 foot tall parent tree which I had protected from cold pretty well, had no figs at all this year - go figure!

My dog has gotten in the habit of running to the little fig tree and waiting for me to walk over and look for ripe figs. There has usually been only one fig a day ripe so I bite it in half and we share. Black missions are one of my favorites. Our local Lowes big box store sells them often so I guess other people like them too.
