HI, I have a very old Mission Fig tree in my back yard. It must be 25+ years old. Every year we get so many figs our dogs end up gaining 10 lbs with all the drops. This year though, we haven't gotten but a few. The first crop was there, then dissapeared in a few days without getting ripe, and the second crop has almost been non-exsistent. Some of the figs that are on the tree are very small and turned in-side-out! Has anyone else had this problem? We usually get probably 300-500 figs on this tree... very troubling.
our winter was VERY mild, no frost, we really didn't have hardly any rain either. I was now thinking that maybe there is not enough water... We don't have a water line to the tree, it has always been fine, maybe there is not enough water deep down where the roots are.
I think you're right. I've lost figs to lack of water. Hopefully your tree will recover next year. Fresh figs are such a treat.
