As in topic, what is wrong with leaves? I didn't have any frost, so can it be a effect of have rain? The leaves are curled. __________________ Lanckorona, Poland Elevation 455 m (1493 ft) (49° 49') USDA 6 Wish list: My area in USDA ZONE 9 :D My varieties: Panache, Peretta, Napolitana, Michurinska-10 and probably Brown Turkey.

Did you have like real warm days recently with plenty of sun? Because that's what it looks to me. __________________ Stormy

No, unfortunately I didn't have any hot day, just mild or even cold days as for may days. Few days with heavy rains and lack of sun for few days, that is what I had. figpig_66 By tender you mean weak? __________________ Lanckorona, Poland Elevation 455 m (1493 ft) (49° 49') USDA 6 Wish list: My area in USDA ZONE 9 :D My varieties: Panache, Peretta, Napolitana, Michurinska-10 and probably Brown Turkey.

Now that it is warmer and not raining the leaves look better. It's not that serious, just a response to less than ideal conditions. __________________ Drew Zone 5b/6a Sterling Heights MI

Looks to me they are growing nicely and just stretching out as they adjust to the heavy rain. They should perk up nicely when you get some hot sunny days. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

My Vistas love to do this when the weather fluctuates. __________________ 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.

Glad to hear that. We will have very nice weather for few days so I will see how fig tree will react. __________________ Lanckorona, Poland Elevation 455 m (1493 ft) (49° 49') USDA 6 Wish list: My area in USDA ZONE 9 :D My varieties: Panache, Peretta, Napolitana, Michurinska-10 and probably Brown Turkey.

Maris, Do not think it's a serious problem at all. Seen figs doing that type of curling - 'cupping' after being given some excessive fertilizer, particularly phosphate. Francisco Portugal

I've just check this fig and yea, after nice weather yesterday leaves are becoming straight. So curled leaves was caused by heavy rains and high humidity I think. __________________ Lanckorona, Poland Elevation 455 m (1493 ft) (49° 49') USDA 6 Wish list: My area in USDA ZONE 9 :D My varieties: Panache, Peretta, Napolitana, Michurinska-10 and probably Brown Turkey.

Oh good to know, my little ficazzanna and natalina figlings did that too after some cool wet weather recently. Things have gotten back to normal, and now my little plants are too. I was worried they'd been over-stressed or caught something... My big plants didn't react the same way. __________________ Whitby Ontario, Zone 6A Growing Natalina, Ficazzana, Hardy Chicago, Violette de Bordeaux, Stella Also growing peaches, cherries and pawpaws.

Yeah now I can say for sure that was caused by cool and humid weather. As a proof photo from today, after few very nice days. __________________ Lanckorona, Poland Elevation 455 m (1493 ft) (49° 49') USDA 6 Wish list: My area in USDA ZONE 9 :D My varieties: Panache, Peretta, Napolitana, Michurinska-10 and probably Brown Turkey.
