My Fig Tree…

If your fig tree looks different, stalled, stressed, or “wrong,” you’re not alone. Fig trees often respond dramatically to weather, water, pruning, or seasonal change—even when they are healthy and recoverable. Many situations that feel urgent at first turn out to be normal fig behavior or temporary stress.
