My Celeste Fig Tree Leaves Are Turning Yellow

Question

My Celeste Figs were planted two months ago. They grew quickly (doubling in size) but this week the leaves started turning yellow around the edges. Now many leaves are entirely yellow. It’s moving fast. I live in Houston. Got any ideas what this is and how to treat it?

Answer 1

Most likely, it is either under watering or a lack of fertilizer. Make sure that the tree is receiving regular water and that you fertilize around the tree in a radius of about 20' to make sure the fertilizer gets to the roots.
