Hello everyone...I'm new to the forum, and actually found it (with much relief, I might add) while searching for answers regarding my 5 precious babies.
Basic issues:
-Leaf drop starting
-A few leaves at the top have started curling weirdly under at the tips - see photo 2 below
-Just noticed yesterday 1-2 larger fully formed leaves look like the area surrounding the veins in the leaf are changing to a light burgundy, and the leaf looks dotted - see photo 1 below
-Need help identifying two of the other healthy ones.
Only 2 of my 5 are affected so far. One is a Brown Turkey, approx 6', in a large pot.
Other variety unknown...perhaps someone could identifY? It's leaves are the second to last ones. I think the figs were green?
Finally, I need help identifying one of my other health ones - I think when I ordered it that it was a french sounding name with c___ something violet in it? That one is quite healthy, and its leaf photo is the last one below.
Other potentially relavent info:
- I am in Zone 5b
-Towards the end of last season all my figs had their leaves yellow, blacken and drop, but fruit remained.
- I waited for figs to go dormant before bringing them inside. They stayed dormant in 55 degree weather for 2 ish months. Then had to move them out of the way of our contractors (we are remodeling) and the warm radient heat floors in my laundry room had yhem in leaf snd fruiting by mid january.
- I water them with water from my various fish tanks.
-I repotted them last fall into larger pots, soil a mix of peat moss, native dirt, pebbles pottery shards at bottom
- i did notice something munched on a few leaves...but I can find no signs of an insect other t han a few strands of very fine web
I sure would appreciate some help...thanks!
