My healthy fig trees always drop their leaves prior to fruit ripening. ?

Trees are fed and watered, not sure why they shed leaves although it is getting late in the season.

Hi Tony,

Thank you for contacting Yates. 

You could try to add some liquid fertiliser weekly during fruit setting. Try 'Yates Thrive Citrus & Fruit Natural Fish & Seaweed+' as a complete plant food, specially developed for boosting healthy grown and yield of juicy fruit in citrus and other fruiting plants. 
Hope this helps and happy gardening :)
