Title: holey leaves on fig tree
Post by: gwynnethmary on October 25, 2012, 12:58:30
I bought a small fig in a pot a bout three months ago, and it seemed really healthy, even producing a few small figs.  However, about three weeks ago I noticed that something was eating the leaves, which are skeletal.  ANY IDEAS?

Since the tree's small, search through it and see if you can find whatever's causing the problem. Pick it off, or use a paintbrush dipped in meths or something equally nasty.

The leaves will be dropping very shortly.
