Sounds like lack of water, or you have let the pots sit in water and rotted
the roots so the effect is the plant can't take up water.

You don't say how old the trees are, how big the pots are, A picture
would be a great help.
As Bob says it could be eratic watering, if they are new trees then
they shouldn't be cropping in their first year, and just a couple of
fruit 2nd year, as they put everything into producing fruit to the
detriment of the tree.
