What variety fig are you growing?

Are some more resistant than others?

It is a pretty large tree and was here when I moved 3 years ago.

Have you fertilized? Figs can be susceptible to nematodes which will weaken the plant.

Here's some info from University of FL:

"The most common disease of fig in the southeastern United States is fig rust (Cerotelium fici) (Figure 14). Fig rust turns leaves brown, can cause defoliation and premature ripening of the fruit, and decreases cold tolerance. This disease can be controlled by a 5-5-50 Bordeaux spray (copper sulfate, lime, and water) applied every two to three weeks during the growing season, from April to November."

Since Bordeaux is mixed by the gardener, it is not labeled. I had seen that recommendation...then I was unsure since the mixture stains the surroundings and probablay me! Also I read that it can cause leaf damage and is used as a dormant spray. With our intense Florida sun I’m hesitant. And it is a procedure to mix it. Anyway Im back to either spraying Daconil or doing nothing. But I still wonder why I appears safe to use on tomatoes up until the day of harvest, so Why not assume it is ok on figs?
