Well, I am not a fig expert but I would say that...

1.) New growth is not likely to be too good with 100 F. temps.

2.) Your fig is on the north side of your house.

I would wait until either autumn or spring and transplant the fig to another exposure (south, if possible)

I have three fig trees. One, negronne is planted on the south side of the house (wilting daily in this 95-100 F heat). Along a fence on the western side of the house, I have two Brown turkey that look fine despite the heat.

Alexnjzone7,
I read your post and I am to new to this to offer help. But this recent heatwave isn't helping everyone.

I read about Heat Stress affecting figs trees and particularly
potted figs. The pot gets to hot and roots don't function properly. The pot has to be shielde from the sun yet have ventilation.

Go to the Fruits and Orchards section of the fig forum and scroll down to Heat Stress. It will probably help you and your particular situation.

If I run into any similar info I'll send it to you.

Alex, lets ask..

1. Figs can tolerate hot temperature and blistering sun, mine do in NM and we have dry hot heat. How much sun does your tree get?

2. How old is your tree?

3. How do you know it is getting enough water?

Thanks.

I had a similar thing happen to me last year,so maybe it is the same thing as yours. I had placed my fig tree out for the season. Previously, it was in a florida room in my previous home. I guess I did not harden it off slow enough because the leaves got sun-scald, and turned almost a bleached color, greyish-white, and within so many days, they eventually curled up and fell off the tree, although some of the figs stayed intact.
Especially if you are going through a heat spell, I would think your tree is suffering from heat stress. I am by no means an expert, but it does really sound like what happened to my fig last year in the heat.
If it is this, do not worry, it will grow new leaves, but it will take a while, especially if the temps are really high. It took a while for my new leaves to come out, but they did, and by the end of the season last year, it totally caught up and you could not tell that anything had happened to it earlier in the season.
So just give it time. I am in NJ too, Forked River, Ocean County, so I know what you are going through with the heat. Good Luck and give an update to what happens! Christy

Thank you everyone for your responces!

Good news! My tree is finally growing new leaves on almost all the branches. Its weird becuase I got it back in probably late March and had it inside until about late april, but in that time it grew like an absolute weed. Hopefully now that its established it will grow quickly.

Also, when do you think my breba crop should be ready for harvesting?

Thanks!
