Can anyone here give some ideas or suggestions to this problem.
Ever seen such before?

Could be the Asian Ambrosia Beetle

Had some "burnt" looking limbs in my orchard this year.  One or two spouts looked just fine then just up and wilted and turned black.  Didn't affect the rest of the tree.  I was wondering about whether it could be this beetle.  Fortunately figs come back up so easily from the base.
