[IBC] Ficus disease(IBC galery)
 

Dear folks,

are afecting a

As Jerry says on the gallery, that's not a disease. Something is
eating your fig. Thrips or whatever else, this is how an
insect-damaged leaf reacts.

I suspect that in Miami the list of potential culprits is
extensive. (The trees ARE outdoors, yes?)

Check first to see if Ficus are damaged or not (spray a
"sacrifice" plant) but a pyrethrin-based spray should do the
trick, with no long-lasting adverse effects.
