Brown Turkey problems

17 years ago

I have a 3 year old Brown Turkey fig. Some leaves are turning yellow and falling off. We had an abundance of rain in the spring, and now we are dry, dry. Also, there is no fruit on this bush. Can anyone tell me if this is rust or what?

A picture would be helpful.
I grow mine in containers and recently 1 plant of mine had many leaves turn yellow near top part of plant. The other containers were fine and this happened suddenly. I noticed that the container was very light and in need of water, once the leaves fell off along with the good drink i gave it is just fine now. Its the lighter soil that the plant is in as i water them basically all the same but this pot drains faster thru that type of soil i used.
Your may or may not need water without seeing a picture.
My leaves turned just plain yellow and within several days dropped. Im wondering though as you did say DRY DRY.
