What is causing brown spots/leaf loss on my fig tree?

Hello all...
This tree is going on 3 yrs in this pot. I intended to root prun and re pot this spring, but I missed my window to do so. In a blink she leafed out.
I am in zone 9b, Tucson. And this tree gets full sun most of the day.
Last summer was a constant battle of browning leaves and dropping. A few yellow too. I thought it was due to our crazy heat and no rain, no fruit either.
This spring it is already starting again.
I am thinking just not enough water. I dont water on a regular basis. Between work and caring for parents, life has been hectic.
I feed from time to time. But again. No schedule.
It is producing figs this year.
I dont want to lose this tree. It is part of our Az. History. Mother tree is believed to be 100 yr old fig in a the ghost town of Ruby , Az.
Any advice and care info would be greatly appriciated.
Fairly new to figs.
Thank you,
Jojo
