Shekay said:I'm from Victoria Canada zone 8-9. So I'm new to growing fig tree and I bought a 4 ft brown turkey from Costco this May. In June, many new leafs grown from the bald tree and I Need July, I can see 4 green figs fruiting on the tree. I heard people saying I can't water too much or fertilizing too much in the first 3 months to encourage root grow, however, this summer is super dry in BC, I think I didn't water enough so the 4 figs stil staying green now. Can I still give it a boost now or it's too late? Will my figs still going to ripe? I also notice there are some brown dots on the top leafs, what cause that? I will post some pictures tomorrow during the day. Thank you very much.

Mine makes figs on the woody stems, and it did take a couple of years' growth before it started producing on the mature woody trunks.
It's lost the whole set of spring leaves already to the rusty fungus, but is growing new ones. I just don't know if I will ever get a fall crop of figs from it.
