Do you think I should cut the tree back at all so it doesn’t have to support so much or would that be too stressful? I do worry about doing that though because it could expose the tree to pests. I did notice one spot today that something might have borrowed into it at a spot where it was cut which is frustrating.

Thanks for your help so far.

I've never raised a fig tree,and I think you need help from someone who has done so. However, a couple of things. In Pennsylvania, the fig is at the northern extent of its range in the United States. It evolved in a hot dry climate, and we are cold and wet this spring. If the soil is saturated at the root level you need to ensure better drainage because the fig expects warm well drained soil. You need to elevate the pot a bit and get the soil to drain. Then if you can put the plant on a deck or platform with a roof overhang to protect it, you can move it out when there is sun and under the roof when there is constant rain until it revives.

Then I would look for someone who raises figs in your area who can give you advice on what you need to do to keep the fig going. Perhaps a good plant nursery or a farmer's market would be a place to look. You can also try a local licensed arborist if you can find one who knows figs. There is a zip code lookup tool on the website of the International Society of Arboriculture.The University of Maryland Extension has an article on growing figs in the mid-Atlantic region that may be some help.

The fig may not produce leaves while the weather is coll and damp, so let's pray for sun.
