In the video "Why Are My Figs Falling Off Prematurely?" Ross, known as the Fig Boss, outlines four primary reasons for premature fig drop. First, insufficient watering can stress the tree, causing droopy leaves and fruit drop, with some varieties like Celeste dropping figs to preserve leaves. Second, a lack of pollination or choosing the wrong fig variety, such as San Pedro types like Desert King, may require pollination for the main crop, leading to unpollinated figs falling off. Third, a pest called black fig fly, prevalent in Southern California and other regions, can infest unripe figs, causing them to drop prematurely; disposing of fallen fruit is recommended to disrupt the pest's life cycle. Lastly, an unhealthy fig tree, possibly due to overwatering, poor drainage, or environmental damage like hail or wind, may drop figs as a symptom of declining health. Ross advises checking soil moisture, selecting appropriate fig varieties, and monitoring tree health to diagnose and address the issue.

Ross discusses setting up an automatic irrigation system to ensure consistent watering for fig trees. This prevents moisture stress, especially for trees in containers or during droughts.

Pollination Problems (3:34):
Lack of pollination or choosing the wrong fig variety, like San Pedro types, can lead to figs falling off. Ross highlights the importance of selecting common figs that don’t require pollination.

Black Fig Fly Pest (6:58):
The black fig fly, a pest in Southern California, infests unripe figs, causing them to drop prematurely. Ross recommends disposing of fallen fruit to disrupt the pest’s life cycle.

Unhealthy Fig Tree (7:40):
An unhealthy fig tree, possibly due to overwatering or environmental damage, may drop figs as a symptom of decline. Ross notes signs like pale leaves indicate poor nutrient uptake.
