Hello,
I am very new to figs and fig trees - I bought a Black Mission Fig tree almost 2 months ago, I live in Riverside, Ca so during the day the leaves were extremely saggy and were getting scorched, so I did some research and moved the tree to the shade to help the transition and for it to harden off.  It was doing well until the newer leaves started to get yellow patches, so after some research I stopped watering the tree as much (I was doing it about once every 3 days) but then the little figs started to shrivel up so apparently I wasn't watering it enough? >_< Since the last watering three of the figs have gotten really plump and starting to get dark, which I assume is a good sign.  But now all of the new growth leaves are just covered in yellow splotches and now one of the leaves has a hole in it!  I have no idea what is causing the yellowing anymore or this hole.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  I have attached 2 pictures, the detail isn't great because I had to make them smaller to upload them. One has the hole circled in red, but you can clearly see how splotchy the leaf is.
Thank you!

The splotches are probably Fig Mosaic Virus (FMV).  As for the little hole, maybe a critter tried to take a bite?  I wouldn't worry about either.  You can do a search of FMV on this forum or elsewhere and find tons of info. 

Most fig trees exhibit symptoms at some point, particularly when they are stressed.  They usually get through it. 

Is your tree planted in ground?  If so, then you can probably water it every couple days, although once it gets established it probably won't need as much.  Depends on your climate.  It's like any other plant in that when it's first planted, it needs extra care/attention so it can have a chance to develop the root system it needs.

Once it's established, provided you don't have extended droughts, it really needs very little care, maybe just a bit of fertilizing during the active growth season.

Thanks for responding, you have put my mind at ease for the time being until something else mysterious pops up. Also, it is in a large planter, not in the ground. I am in an apartment with a patio, so in the ground isn't an option. Thanks again!

Easy way to make sure you're watering properly, stick your finger in the dirt if it feels moist but not soggy then you got it perfect

Normal looking leaves for Black Mission.
