| Every year my fig plant (don't know what kind) has a problem where sections turn brown and die. If there is any fruit on these sections, it withers and dies too. Any idea what it is?
Here is a picture:
Thank you,

| Looks like a SINGLE branch, somehow got suddenly chewed-up (or something?) and died (including leaves). Cheer-up, the rest of your fig-tree looks OK... |

| Just prune it off... |

| Have you checked that branch where the dead starts? We do have what they call a twig girder. They will make a cut around a branch and lay eggs on the branch. If it is you will see the bark removed in a ring where the branch starts to die. I do not know if they are in your area but here in Texas they are well known to many. |
