Why is my fig tree losing leaves?

Hello Freaky -



Its difficult to determine what the problem is because there are not many details; but, I wanted to add here that it could be something as simple as this: fig trees will loose their leaves when/if you experience a cold snap. The tree will suddendly loose their leaves, but they will come back once the weather warms up. If your area has experienced a recent cold spell, this could be the reason for this - dont do anything other than protect from further cold and wait for the new growth once the weather warms up.



If the tree is established and older, if the sudden dropping of leaves could be indicative of overwatering. Either way: if its cold or overwater, its best to hold back on any consistent or overly moist conditions and just wait till the warmer weather comes up.



Good luck

Might be peach leaf curl a fungus
Reply:Probably lack of water or fungus on roots. My fig tree eventually died because of a root problem.
