Mario,
That's the thing. It sits under four foot tubes, one cool, one warm and with other figs that don't have this condition. The only other fig afflicted is a clone of the same variety.
Barry,
Until recently they were getting no fertilizer. Now they are getting Schulz Orchid Food half strength, because that's what I had handy, and I must say that all of the starts perked u pa bit. (It has some trace minerals in it.)
