All but 2 panachee figs are doing this weird rot on my, they get these spots and within a few days they fall off, I worry they will all be gone for this season, has anyone seen this happen before?  It gets the same treatment as everything else and it is one of the better growing ones this season and nothing else is doing it.

I have no clue about what would cause that to happen but I'm sure someone on here will have an idea, good luck with your panache.

I have never seen that  before. Any sign of issues on the leaves? Seems like it might po9ssibly be a humidity issue?

The other day I read that tomatoes get end rot because they need calcium.  Gypsum works, they said.  Maybe it's a soil deficiency in that particular pot?

The only sign on the leaves was a small ammount of fmv but better than most, it happened in march when i forced them, I don't think it's calcium issue because when it happened before they were being fed a high calcium feed (balanced high calcium) although the humdity may be right, or does this variety not like going from hot and humid to hot and dry and cooler and dry?

The reverted fig on one branch is starting to turn yellowish more and more so prehaps the fertilizer I used is too strong?  It's higher in ammonia but it's the only fig doing it, maybe it's just a stress repsonse and fmv getting the right conditions on a young tree to damage the fruit?

I should also mention different trees in different pots have done it, I can throw lime in the pot this year for the benefit of next year, I know in tomatoes with high humidity the roots were not active enough and it could not push water into the fruit or calcium but also high humidity would cause the calyx end to rot from inside by leaving that flower too moist as it set.

I am still leaning to a climate issue. They almost look as if they had cracked a little bit, and then gotten moldy or rotten along the crack.

It is a strange issue.

Also it could be insect/slug damage that gets a mold or bacterial infection.  Look at night to see if there are critters.

I don't want to confuse the issue, but that looks like some kind of burn, maybe fertilizer maybe sun?

Chivas it look uniform like a bug may have done this.
and
I see those tiny white spots in the red marks , maybe with magnify glass you could rule out if those are egg clusters ?

I wasn't able to find egg clusters, the only bugs that really are on the figs are a yellow moth about the size of a dime and thrips, but the thrips were common from before and now, I am thinking now it could have something to do with bugs but also has anyone ever had sun scald on Panachee?  I know it's a longshot but it maybe is root pressure and I am giving a bit too much water and similar to blossom end rot in peppers and certain hollow tomatoes from 'pushers' just exploding the cells from having too much available water.

Maybe it is micro cracks also from watering and insects or just mold are getting in there, I didn't see anything on them tonight, but I could be early, later or just scaring them away, it just really bugs me that it is one variety and not the others, I will have to examine the roots tomorrow and see, maybe it's too wet and adding the root pressure or maybe it's too dry or a fluctuation which would make the blossom end rot, prehaps I am feeding too strong but the leaves don' have any burn so it makes it hard for me to say, hopefully the last one hangs on but I fear the worst.

had something like that last fall on my very last VdB. i thought it was a bird pecking on it and just ate it. i'm still alive. then again.. yours might be something different. it looks almost like the outside of the fig is melting away..

Is the damage always on a white stripe?

it seems that it always was on the white stripe, only one is still on and the green on dropped too, maybe the plants just can't handle the figs this year?  It is only a year and half old.

Found this, do the spores turn pink?.

I googled the above because I wondered how one cures this fungus and here is what I found:

1. Cause

   • Anthracnose is a fungal disease caused by Glomerella cingulata or Colletotrichum spp. Ficus plants growing in excessively moist or humid environments are more susceptible to the pathogen.

   Damage

   • The disease starts with the appearance of yellow to dark brown spots on the foliage. With disease progression, there are masses of yellow spores within the spots and along the foliage veins. The affected foliage gradually dies. Anthracnose is prevalent during summer.

   •  

   Management

   • Avoid overhead irrigation in plants and minimize exposure to rain whenever possible. When using cuttings from stock plants, inspect carefully for symptoms of disease. Fungicidal control options include the use of chlorothalonil, thiophanate-methyl and copper-based products.

It looks like a mold/mildew problem to me from high humidity. We get that here in WV about this time of year on a lot of fruit and vegetable crops. 
Spray it with Neem oil every 7-14 days (according to the label), it's rated for Anthracnose fungal disease, as well as molds and mildews, etc.
It's not toxic like other sprays. Spray with it in the late evening so it will be dry by morning. Never apply Neem oil in the sun to avoid sun scald.

There were no spores on the fruits at all they ended up falling off, one fruit that still looks ok, but the fruits that did fall of just dried up.  I do not believe this to be anthracnose, but rather the plants inability to hold onto the fruit, I had this happen in March on another Panachee as well where the fruit fell off as well and it was very dry in the greenhouse (less than 50% RH). 

While I do appreciate the advice, I would never spray neem oil for any fungus as I prefer potassium bicarbonate or bacillus subtilis instead.  While we did have high humidity at the time, it didn't last and we had some of the driest weather in years here, the only fruit that ended up surviving so far is the one that is more protected from the sun.

I use fish fertilizer, usually gypsum can be found at hardware stores or garden centres.

For the record none of my trees, including panachee has had any symptoms on the leaves.

Hi Chivas,
I am just wondering about your comment on neem  oil, RE: that you would never use it for fungus, and I am wondering what your considerations are about neem oil.

Also  wanted to let you know that the plant you gave me is doing fine. I removed all but 3 figs shortly after i got it, and  all three of the figs are doing fine so far. It is outside and getting lots of sun, so maybe the problem you are having has something to do with the environment inside the green house.

I'm glad that they are doing well for you. The neem oil I just would prefer to not use an insecticide as The options I would use are cheaper for me and I would use neem oil really only as an insecticide if needed and even then I would prefer not to spray oil on a live plant, even though it is safe and I know it is perfectly safe I just don't like it, if it was in sandals or something like that then sure no problem, I'm just weird.

The figs did the same thing in the greenhouse and outside, maybe it's too much fertilizer as well.
