Hi. Gets a lot of sun. It's in the middle of an East West open garden.

What do you mean by a sulphur treatment?


Sulphur kills fungus. My local nursery carries a soil sulphur treatment,
but I've only ever used it for root rot fungus. Worked too. ;-)
We then added the recommended soil flora supplement after a couple of
weeks.

I have two fig trees and have never had a fungus problem, but I have
lost fruit harvests to lack of water.
