This is only my second year getting any significant quantity of figs from my trees.  I have tasted some good ones and some bad ones.  Some of them I have picked too early in my anticipation/excitement, some I have been patient and waited until they got a bit shriveled. 

Almost all have been pretty watery and tasteless towards the top of the fig, even if the bottom is sweet and tasty.  Is this normal for all figs?  Is it because I'm watering too much?  Is it because my trees are still relatively young?  Wrong soil/fertilizer, etc? 

I am growing in pots, most of my trees are in their 3rd season of growth, most are in 7 or 10 gallon pots, mostly pine bark fines with added fertilizer. I have a drip irrigation system with 1/2 gallon per hour emitters, one per tree, set to run for 15 minutes, 4 times a day.  So that should be approximately 1/2 gallon of water per tree per day, not including rain.  Sometimes, during the hottest part of the summer, on a hot day when there's been no rain a few of the larger trees would show visual signs of needing more water, such as droopy leaves, etc.  After a bit of additional watering, they would go back to normal. 

Thoughts?

Hi Rob,
Some pics would help.
But in pot it is harder. You should try some in ground .
I have a tree that lacked water in July because she was well loaded with brebas, and she got all out of production for the end of the season .
That is the quality of her main crop has been under the quality of her sister-tree's main crop.
I can as well come some the strain. Which strains do you have ?
Age can be a parameter that affects a lot the quality and ripening time and thus once again the quality because of cold weather at ripening time.
How old are the trees ?
5 years is a minimum to get a good experience . - That is in ground - in pots, trees becoming root bound and deficiencies can ruin your waiting .
