Where do you get the little bags that you cover your figs with

[@figtreegrower3152]

Look up organza bags on Amazon

I can’t figure out why I keep wanting to collect fig trees. 😂 Any thoughts?

[@figtreegrower3152]

Haha, i know the feeling. You hear that there’s a new fig out there that’s different than the others and it it’s so good and it makes you really think you need it. The allure of the unknown

@@figtreegrower3152 I’m still new to growing figs. I have a 4-5 year old Improved Brown Turkey that’s not doing too well for some reason. All of the new growth has lignified rapidly over the last two weeks and the leaves are yellowing and falling off. I have it in a greenhouse that keep pests off of it and I’ve sprayed it with neem oil to see if that helped with FMV. It’s dropping 2-3 leaves a day.

Hmm. That’s a tough one. Yellowing leaves is likely a lack of nitrogen- have you fertilized. If you have then something is preventing the roots from getting that nitrogen into the plant. Maybe the roots are circling and choking out the plant? Maybe it’s getting too much water? Is the soil always wet feeling? I would pull the tree out of its pot and see what the roots look like

@@figtreegrower3152 It gets fertilizer regularly. It was doing great for a minute. It was starting to produce, then all of a sudden it started dropping leaves. I was hoping to make it to next year without root pruning. I thought that roots choking it could be the problem.
