Curled Leaves

Post by sheba53 »

My Fig has just got some of the big leaves that are turning in under from the sides. I can't find any bugs as such. Other than that very healthy. What have I done wrong? Help. sheba53

I would be defoliating and pruning to reduce their size anyway.
If the new leaves start to turn then look for some reasons.

Ok thanks for that :) . Should I cut back some of the long branches as well to make it more compact :?: sheba53
