Figs back in leaf
Posted: September 26th, 2017, 8:18 pm
All my figs have bounced back well from the early defoliation , due to fungal attack. The unusualy warm weather has helped a lot.
Hi aubigfig50
good to see them back in leaf and without the spots. With any luck the fungus won't return.
I'm defoliating all my figs this year, binning the leaves and for the first time doing preventative spraying.
Will be using the lime sulphur spray on benches soon as well.
Very few of my figs escaped the fungus attack this year. The Benjamina, MB and retusa are clean but all
but one old PJfig have the spots. Oddly even some young PJ in deep root tubes at other side of house got it.
Would be good to know how it spreads but my money would be on wind carrying the spores around.
Whatever the reasons I'm happy to say the lime sulphur spray has stopped it.
I hope your trees stay healthy
cheers
Bob.
