Hi, all.

I have a 2-3 story tall fig tree on the property I live on. It's been here for ions. I am very new to figs. I believe it to be a Mission fig tree by the color on the outside (dark purple, drying to nearly a black color). From what little I've read, the fruit on the inside should either be dark red or strawberry in color. I'm finding that a lot of the figs are very white inside with some strawberry coloring mixed in.

Is there something wrong with the fruit/tree? I have never attended to the tree at all...and it seems that no one else does either. So, it's basically self-sustaining. As a result (and from what I've read), I believe that it is severely under-watered. Could this be the cause of the color of the fruit in addition to the reason why so much fruit falls off the tree?

Thanks in advance for your help.
