I know there are a lot of posts regarding FMV. I'm pretty new to multiple varieties of figs. For years I only had one type that was given to me by family - so they had no traces of FMV. I realize that, for the most part, FMV is going to be part of growing my collection. But I was wondering if certain varieties are more resistant to FMV? I have a a young JH Ardiatic and Nero that are sitting right next to other plants that show some signs of FMV on their leaves. But those 2 look perfect and totally healthy? Just wondering. Thanks..Tony

In theory, FMV shouldn't be transferred in our area except by tools (cutting an infected plant then cutting a non-infected plant).

If that's the case maybe what I'm seeing aren't signs of FMV? Most of my plants are relatively new. I have pinched the tops on different occasions - but that has not been often. And since they are newer plants I haven't pruned them yet. So maybe it's a fertilizer issue or something else?
