Hi
I have just moved in to a new house & my neighbour informs me that the tree
growing up the front of her house & part of mine, is a fig. I have thought
for a number of weeks that a tomcat was spraying at the front of the house.
I have now cleared all of the overgrown grass & removed the first couple of
inches of soil & replaced it. The smell still persists. The smell is very
strong. It can be smelled in the upstairs bedroom just as strong as
downstairs (so I do not think it is a cat).
Can you tell me if a fig tree smells & what I can do about it?
The tree is almost to gutter height (abt 15 feet) & has deeply lobed dark
green leaves (each with 5 'fingers'). When a leaf is broken off a white sap
(like a dandelion) oozes out.

Many thanks.
