Greetings Folks! I am super excited to finally get fruit from my Maltese Beauty this year after rooting it 2 1/2 years ago. I cannot wait to taste some of its fruit!! However something has been strange about this plant in particular, and has had me thinking: the leaves have been curling up...symptomatic of when a fig tree is taking in too much water (please see pictures of plant in question). However, I have tried watering it less, controlling water intake, and the leaves seem to still stay curled up, as you see in the picture. There have been points when the plant gets "droopy" and in need of water, and the leaves are still curled up! They have stayed this way for pretty much this entire growing season, and do not seem to just want to relax. As is visible, plant is growing well, there are plenty of Figs growing on it and there has been considerable growth. Any recommendations? / Suggestions? Has anyone experienced this with another Maltese Beauty GM155?? -All my fig trees in containers (about 35 currently) do not have this problem. Only my Maltese Beauty. Any ideas?

Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback. Deep down I had a feeling the plant was doing Okay, but the curling up I have not seen with my other plants, and did make me a bit nervous. Anyone have this same experience with a another fig tree?
