Fig Tree looks sick

10 years ago

Hi everybody:

I am a new member with a beautiful Fig Tree that is about 6 years old. Last year my tree produced a lot of figs.

Yesterday I sprayed the tree with a combination of baking soda, dawn soap and a little Organicide. I also put 3 Miracle Grow fruit spikes around the tree.

Today, the tree leaves look strange; they have blotches that have a strange combination of brownish colors, that look almost shiny. The leaves are also curling and look terrible.

What should I do? I am worried. Help!!

Wash it with clean water.
Fig tree do not tolerate spraying with any chemicals.
