Why are the leaves on my Fig tree so pale?

Our Advice:

From the pictures you sent to us, some of the leaves indicate that your Fig tree (Ficus carica), needs a feed. We suggest you apply a foliar feed of Liquid Seaweed as a tonic, any time soon. Feed the plant with a general fertiliser such as; Growmore, Vitax Q4 or Pelleted Chicken Manure next spring immediately after pruning.
