Fig Tree Turkish Brown (forum)

Anne17 starts with ...
I bought a Turkish fig tree from Daleys last year. I have just returned from a 3 week holiday & the tree is looking sick. All the leaves have gone brown & fallen off. Is this normal? Is there anything i can do to help this plant. Hoping its not dying

Thank you

Figs are deciduous, this being winter, leaves fall off, nothing to worry about.
Up here, some varieties more than others.

It is normal for fig leaves to drop for the winter. They leaf again in spring.

They go dormant and drop all leaves during winter, looking like nothing but a few twigs and branches, it's totally normal.

Just wait for spring and it'll start flushing new growth and figs.
