The fig leaf surface is large and the leaf flesh is thick. The structure and size of the leaf blade is not only constrained by the variety itself, but also affected by environmental conditions and management measures. Planted in the back of the shade, poor lighting conditions or nitrogen fertilizer application is too much, too late, the branches are not full of trees, thin and large leaves; planted in the sun, light, nutritional conditions, the branches will be full of, thick leaves, the size of the leaf is also normal, the leaf blade fencing organization is developed.

Normal fig plant, in the process of the new shoots continue to elongate, the new shoots on each internode of the node can grow a leaf, at the same time in the leaf axil part of the leaf to grow a fruit. As far as the whole plant is concerned, the number of leaves growing should be roughly equal to the number of fruits, and the ratio of leaves to fruits is 1:1. When the temperature rises above 20℃, it will take about 15 days for a leaf to grow from germination and leaf development. However, when growing in the shade, at low temperatures, or when the carbon to nitrogen ratio is out of whack, with excess nitrogen nutrients, or when nitrogen fertilizer is applied too late, the number of days it takes to grow a leaf increases, and the photosynthetic capacity of the leaf decreases significantly. Therefore, the temperature is too high or too low will seriously affect the photosynthetic function of the leaves and the accumulation of assimilated nutrients, affecting the yield and quality.
