Fertilization Question

20 years ago

I have three figs in containers: Kalamata, Atreano and Panache. All three are doing very well and the Atreano has some nice fat fruit ripening now. When should I fertilize these plants? As I said, all three are looking great, and putting out lots of new leaves, so I don't know if fertilizing is even necessary at this point.

Thanks-
