I have a "Desert King" green fig in a 24-inch pot, where it has lived for years.  It put out a nice early crop back in July and now it's on its second crop -- but for some reason, a lot of the figs are getting little spots on them and falling off, or I can just grab the little figs and pull slightly and they come loose.  The stem connection point on the fig has a browninsh ring around it.  This also happened last year.  I water the plants daily and feed occasionally with bone meal.  A photo of one I just removed:



It has lost quite a few fruits this way, and I'm wondering if this could be fungal, or maybe a nutrient deficiency.  My "Petite Negra" black fig, ten feet away from this plant, is fine.  Anyone know what this problem might be?

Desert King is a first crop only fig in our climate. The second crop will ONLY ripen with the fig wasp that enters and pollinates the inside.

Well, that explains it!  I could swear we got a second crop off it in previous years, but maybe I'm thinking of the other fig.  Thanks for the reply!

You may get an oddball here or there to ripen. I have it but its less than a year old. Alot have it on here and most if not all state its first crop only. Do a search here and type in 'Desert King' and you'll get a lot more info from prior threads and posts.
