Attack on my fig tree - help me identify

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

I found a strange type of fungus (i think) growing on my fig tree. I live in Dubai, so the weather now is around 22C (71F). I want to cure my poor plant, but need to know what is wrong with it first. I have attached some pictures. Thanks for your help :(

Thanks hoosierbanana!

i just applied Neem Oil to the whole plant (stems & leaves).

i was told to reapply after 10 days.

i hope this solves the problem.
