If you mean Ficus carica, and its been outside all winter, especially if in a pot, you may have lost it. Scrape back a bit of the bark near the base with your fingernail - if its green and moist inside, its fine, if dry and brown, it's a goner. Otherwise, bear in mind everything's late this year.

Thanks, yes it is still green, and it has been outside the last five years so lets hope it comes again, it has only ever had a couple of fruit ripen though I think we are too cold for it in the N.E. although it is sheltered on a S facing fence.
