I don't see how to edit.... so wanted to add.

It's in a fast draining mix, 5-1-1 with a little cactus mix (store bought) added..

The lighting on the bottom photo is off. The tree is not yellow! All these pics were taken yesterday and today.

Well Jojo, you need to water it and fertilize it❗

I am thinking you should be happy that your fig tree is producing figs 🤔

No not trying to be mean 🙂

What that mix 5-1 -1 is it pine bark perlite and soil?

Was it fertilized since woke up from dormancy?

If you fertilize. What kind of fertilizer are you using?

The brown spots might be nutrient deficiency.

Jojo. Hi))

You can put that tree into a much bigger pot with a mix that holds water longer like a 4.2.1 mix or something on that line. Even just a good bagged quality mix is good because that mix has to stay constantly moist and if you forget just once to water that is what happens. Even here where it does not get half as hot as you, we have to water a couple times of the day or you will even loose the fruit. Fig trees like to drink water and fill out their pots very very fast. It has to be moist at all times to carry the fruit and for the leaves to not mar themselves.

How about a water emitter set up of some kind set on timers?

I see fruit coming on..............

What a beauty Jojo))

Hi Mike! Thank you :-)

I will consider a bigger pot next season. ( I think it's in a 14" now) I will be root pruning next spring.

We are expected to hit 100 degrees tomorrow!!!! Off to a crazy start this summer already!! Which we dont normally hit until mid June!!! Ugh!!!

I don't want to repot it now.

I suspected I wasn't watering enough but wanted to be sure.

I will try harder to get to it everyday. I have been in a tug of war since Nov. between helping parents and work.

The mix does have some cactus and succulent mix in it , so it does hold a little more moisture than a 5-1-1. So I will try watering daily.

An emitter is not possible at this time. The tree is in an area with no water line. It's the best place for it as far as day light goes.

It is getting some new growth at the bottom which I'm excited about! I want to keep it in a bush form.

And yes , fruit.... :-) I can't wait!! I did not get any last year!

Thanks again!

Hugs!

I live in a trailer park. Very small yard and limited on space for in ground trees.

Jojo, is that tree on land, pavement or on a patio?

Yes, water often, even several times a day if you can. Because your heat is bad there, if you grow that in full sun it will only take once a dry period and all the fruit will abort or never get large and plump. Too, that much sun can make for small fruit in a pot unless it's kept in partial sun, out of the hot afternoon sun)) Love that tree

Hi Mike!

Thank you! :-) I was so excited when I learned the history of this tree, and fell in love with the shape of it too!

She is along my driveway, west side of property on gravel. It does have a drip pan, but I empty it after watering her.

It is shaded from late day sun by the neighbors house.

I will definitely increase her water!

This is one of the trees that was being shaded all winter by the juniper I am taking out.

Last summer it never produced fruit, so I am off to a better start.

If it doesn't do well with more water where it is, I'll see if I can move it. But I don't have a lot of options.
