My son said he saw a fig tree, I think in GA, that was 40 feet high. The fig I gave him is developing irregular shaped leaf spots about 1/4". Does anyone know if this is serious or just cosmetic. The tree is potted and he lives in FL. He planted it in the ground, but it didn't like his soil.
I keep my potted figs in a cool basement, watering once a month, with only intermittent light. More water in late March and outside in April unless frost threatens.
I brought my in-ground fig from NJ 18 years ago. Around mid Nov I cut it back, tie it up and wrap it with blankets and cover it with plastic. I would prefer to use tarpaper, but age and arthritis wont let me. Pic is from Aug.
