Fig tree

12 years ago

Mottled leaves on new fig trees. Two small trees planted May 30 in containers. The trees are growing well with some fruit. However some of the leaves are mottled. Is this a natural occurance? Or have I failed to feed them properly? I'm using 10,10, 10, granular lime, and adding missing elements.

Sounds like Fig Mosaic Virus. Not curable but not necessarily fatal. Usually only results in deformed leaves and sometimes ugly fruit. Post pictures.
