In your settings reduce the resolution and they should fit.

Without the pictures I would guess water.

I have had some wilting and brought them back with a good soak.

Hot Summer with little rain. I have to water every day or two to keep up.

Dead man walking when the water bill comes for sure.

In Ct, we are @5" short on water

Could be nutrient burn. Could be a type of fungus. How much fertilizer are you giving it? I'm not nearly as knowledgable as the experts on here. Just trying to help narrow it down.

I agree with Richie & Brandon. You may not be watering enough too.

Hi,
Pot too small, nutrients depleted, roots cooked from the sun, lack of water, and rootbound .
You should have up potted beginning of August to keep them on track.
I'd do it asap, or they'll get in a worst shape, and may die.

Of course, with some more water you could sort of keep them alive. But for that size, they just need a bigger pot to keep on growing. They can use one liter of water every day with that size and the current summer heat .

I have some like that that are still happy ... Because the roots escaped the pots and are now in the free dirt underneath ... Call it cheating ! Call it adapting to a less than ideal situation .

JDS is correct here.  Your tree is root bound and not getting enough water.  Even though you may be watering it, the roots are over heating and loosing moisture.  It will continue to do that until you repot is into a larger pot.  The tree will live but not produce any figs.  Its a continuous cycle unless you give the tree more soil and water.  I wouldn't up size it to a 5 gallon bucket either!  Go bigger!  Good luck!

A potted tree can be planted in ground whenever you want ... If the dirt is frozen ... It is much harder (just guessing) ...
But till mid-November you could plant them.

In my opinion, JDS is spot on. A note about up potting root bound fig trees: when you free the root ball from the pot, it may help if you put the root ball in a bucket of fresh water to loosen the compacted soil and let the roots start to move away from the trunk. You may want to GENTLY agitate the plant in the water to facilitate some of the untangle. Where you are, it is not too late to up pot to a three-gallon, for example. Search on this forum for soil mixes you may want to use. Note that "not getting enough water" means more than just watering it more. When a plant is very root bound, the water, finding the path of least resistance, goes down the sides of the pot and out the bottom, leaving the plant/roots dry.

As for easy manipulation of photographs: Consider the free download, free program, IrfanView. It's user friendly and has edit and image pull-down menus that can help adjust the dimensions as well as the "size" of your photos. http://download.cnet.com/IrfanView/
