I found some but not a lot of the fruits that are having black spots as per image attached. Why this happened ? Should I remove those ? Attached Images IMG_20160529_123636_(Copy).jpg (312.13 KB, 66 views)

Possibly sun burnt. Happened to my Ariane fig last season.

Hi, IMO, not a disease, let them on the tree. For me it is rubbing damage. Could be people passing by and rubbing with shoulders or could be a nearby object or branch rubbing when wind blows. __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

Sometimes fruits get spots like this on them for any number of reasons. The fruit will still ripen and be edible, but there will be a little tough spot on the skin. I wouldn't worry about it. __________________ Wish list: Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important: YOUR FAVORITE FIG. A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

Definitely rubbing damage caused by its own leaves, just callused skin... No biggie, still edible just doesn't look appealing... __________________ Simon C. So. Cal (El Monte) Zone 10a Wish list: Adriatic JH, Raspberry Latte, Violet de Sollies, Col de Dame Black, Ischia Black, Takoma Violet

I agree with Simon also... superficial rubbing damage from the wind blowing the leaves. __________________ London, Ontario zone 6a Wish List: Martinenca Rimada, Genovese Nero AF, Galicia Negra, Brooklyn White
