What are these black spots??
Posted: September 13th, 2018, 3:14 pm
Hey guys,
I have a Fig that was cut right back about 2 months ago as the tree wasn't the right shape - it was too tall without any lower branches.
Everything had been going well until i left it in the care of a family member while I was on holidays for almost two weeks.
When I came home I found this - black spots on all new growth ??
Can someone identify what this is and perhaps offer possible treatment ideas.
Thanks in advice
***As I was uploading the images I was able to zoom in on an image and it appears the black spots are some type of insect/grub.
