A slow release fertililzer that has less nitrogen than phosphorus or potassium may be the fertilizer for a fig tree [Ficus carica]. But the use of fertilizers isn't necessarily automatic. It's more likely to be an option when the tree is grown in containers or poor soil.
Standard commercial, conventional, synthetic fertilizers tend to emphasize nitrogen ['N'] over phosphorus ['P'] and potassium ['K']. The problem lies in nitrogen's support to quick, lush above ground growth of the shoots. That growth tends to take place at the expense of flowering or fruiting.
Phosphorus promotes root health. Potassium contributes to overall health. So that's why gardeners and growers need to be careful in their choice and application of fertilizers when the fruiting of the fig tree may be at stake.
