Fig Tree Dropping Fruit

Question

my fig tree year after year continues to drop the first crop of figs, only giving me a small crop for such a big tree. it is on a slight hill, the soil is somewhat sandy. the leaves are very green and healthy. should i dig a hole and place a PVC pipe close to the root area for better watering? i am at a loss.

Answer 1

Typically, inconsistent watering, or lack of pollination will be to blame, depending on the cultivar that you have. This article will offer more information on the subject:
