I have been raising figs in a container for about the past 5 years. I currently have 10 trees seven of which are producing fruit. I searched around on the internet for advice about fertilizing and it's very mixed. Some say don't fertilize some say fertilize with 10 10 10. I recently had a conversation with a man who raises figs in our area who fertilizes 19-19-19 every week. Can anybody shed some light on the confusion around this subject?? I also am interested in talking with anyone who's interested in talking with me about fig. I'm in Beaver County Independence Township 5 miles from Aliquippa.
Thanks
Looing forward to gleaning from you all.

adding well composted manure to the planting holes always helps.
it will provide fertilizer, improve tilth n help correct ph problems.
other than that, do what sucessful growers in your area do, even tho a steady diet of 19-19-19 seems odd to me.
most folks tend to reduce N during fruiting season.

Thanks Susie and Bluegill.    We have had a lot of rain these past few weeks and the figs are lovin it.
I like the decomposed manure recommendation and the rotation of fertilizers.

Feeding container grown figs is a challenge and you really need to develop the right soil mix and a fertilization schedule that works for you.
Use the search button and read some of the many informative discussions on the topic.
here is a couple threads I found relevant;
