Fig Tree Foliage

Question

My big yellow fig produces lots of fruit but doesn’t have much foliage. I held off on fertilizing this spring in hopes it would get more leaves. It didn’t help. Lots of figs that the birds can really see. What can be the problem.

Answer 1

It might be low on nitrogen. Nitrogen will help it grow more leaves, but be warned that more nitrogen will most likely result in fewer fruits.
