On my fig tree there are some leaves that have turned yellow and have brown spots on them. They eventually fall off. I have not fertilized because I read that you don't have to. I planted them in February 2016 here in Orlando, Fl.

Hi Cynthia, post some pic of you tree leaves. Is your tree in a pot OT in ground ? It could be heat stress.....not enough water reaching the root system. Pics will help.

Most likely needs water- at least 1 gal, once in the early morning and once in the late afternoon, depends on how much sun it has and the temperature. More sun/heat = more water. I am in Fl and my plants are in containers and in the shade and I water them a gallon each. Sometimes twice daily. It needs bare minimum fertilizer/compost manure once it is establish in 2-3 years, but in the beginning it needs nutrients to grow and establish itself.
