Leaf curl on Fig

Post by DustyRusty »

Hi. One of my PJ figs has been having a leaf curl problem. New leaves are curled and drying. The stem is rusty and shriveled. Thrips? Can't find any critters.

Would love some thoughts on how to treat this. The unaffected stems are going great guns but the affected ones are struggling. I have several figs but one this one is affected.

Hi Dusty, I have not had this experience before. I will forward it to our fig thrip expert to get her opinion but it does not look like any thrip damage that I am familiar with and they would be visible if they were there.
