According to University of Florida, fertilizer for fig trees are recommended only when the total amount of vegetative growth is less than one foot in length. Since heavy fertilizer application will lead to more vegetative growth and less fruit production in fig.
"For young trees, ½ pound of 10-10-10 with micronutrients can be applied three to five times during the growing season, starting in late winter (February to March) and ending by 1 August. For large trees, apply 2–4 pounds of 10-10-10 with micronutrients three to five times during the growing season (February to August)."
