hey guys,
this is my second full year of growing figs. last year was pretty good, no major issues, but this year im a bit concerned- i have 4 figs, all potted (two brown turkeys, one chicago hardy, and one petit negra). i know that when i put them out in the sun after they came out of winter dormancy i did it too fast and the already grown leaves burned. they are still on the tree, but have been a bit crispy. however, i am not getting new growth like i did last year. all the new buds end up dying and i keep pulling dead baby fig leaves out of the buds. also, most of the leaves are dry and some are discolored. they are growing fruit just fine... but im concerned about the lack of new growth and the crispy quality of the leaves.
im assuming this is from the heat and/or direct light, but i think they're getting about the same amount as last year (i have since moved so its a different environment- this year they get loads of afternoon light at probably about 8 hours a day). i just tried putting them in the shade after reading some recent posts. if they WERE getting too much direct light, how long should it take to see some improvement?
thanks as always everyone!
