New to the forum but have been growing figs in pots for a number of years. I have 4 trees I pots, overwinter in garage and pulled them out a few weeks ago. The leaves are curled, and turn black. the leaf stems bend and appear to have black spots on them. I checked for bugs and there are none and it seems to be every leaf. they are VdB. I sprayed a fungicide, Serenade, and that had little effect. So, I moved to streptomycin (I have quince and worry about fireblight) and that seemed to arrest the further decay, but not cure the problem. Now, I notice that my pole bean leaves seem to be exhibiting the same problem. I wonder if anyone has any experience dealing with this. My next thought is to do a hard prune and rub the trunks with a bleach cloth.....but I would like to avoid that.
thanks for the help. I searched for similar topics and didn't see any.
