The most common reason why figs fall off a fig tree prematurely is not enough water. The first thing that a fig tree will do is stop growing during times of drought. Then the figs will fall off the tree and the leaves will follow.
You may notice that your tree is looking sad as the leaves are drooping. If only the newer leaves droop, that’s called humidity shock due to a drastic drop in humidity. If the whole tree is looking sad, that’s a sign of not enough soil moisture.
You could also have a fig tree that requires pollination to ripen edible fruit. That could be the case if you’re unsure of the fig variety that you’re growing, but in most cases, it’s a lack of water.
