Fickle fig tree?
Please can someone help me work out what's wrong with my fig tree? It lives in a pot with good drainage on my patio and gets plenty of sunlight. However, the last couple of weeks the leaves have begun turning yellow and brown before dropping off; the fruits are falling off too. This is a fairly new addition to the patio and I'm not very experienced in how to care for these.
I've read that they are affected by both over and under watering so is anybody able to tell from the pictures or give me any tips as to whether this is the cause of the problem?

They need lots of water and at the same time they need very good drainage.
mine’s in JI No 3 loam based with added coarse horticultural grit at a ratio of approx 4:1
You'll have to be out there with me most mornings with a watering can full of water 💦
Whereabouts in East Anglia (roughly) are you ... if you don’t mind me asking?
I think I'll battle it tomorrow and add some grit to the mixture to see if that helps
There's a few yellow leaves, but they don't bother me too much
