Any problems with anthracnose? Sets in about this time every year causing leaf yellowing and drop.

I guess I should check my tree. I have a feeling the birds have already hit it though.

Not so far, but this has been a super unusual year. More rain than I can ever remember for this late in the growing season.

Jealous here. Love figs but they don't winter over well here and I may have promised no more plants in the house. Maybe if I got rid of some of the aloe veras...

Hey Jolly,

Do you ever have any problems with raccoons raiding the fig trees? What about deer? I want to plant some trees when we move south of here and need to prepare myself for the predators, lol.

It boils down to a problem best solved by the point and pull method.
