Just an FYI for you. Birds Don't naturally eat figs they are more into the juices in there because they can't find any water. One thing you can do is make sure that there is water for the birds and they will leave your figs alone.
I think boiling orange peels in hot water and then soaking them for 24 hours in the same water after cooling down to make a spray works the same as Neem oil. Orange peels have an oil that is toxic to aphids, ants, and other pests.
Back in USSR for scale we did - 1 cap of kerosene + 1 cap soap on 1l of water. Wet plant leave for 5 mins then rinse. You laterally see scales washing away
Don't allow leaves between plants to touch each other since that's a highway for ants. What I do after pruning for spacing, is dust the soil with coffee grounds out to the drip line. I've found coffee grounds around an ant 'door' in the ground are a good deterrent since ants will build another 'door' to their nest rather than try to pick up a coffee ground to move it. They won't walk over a drip line field of coffee grounds because of the neurological jolt from it. Used coffee grounds do not appreciably affect pH, and if they do, it's a pH in the right direction for most plants. I can't speak for fresh coffee grounds. Coffee water became a GO TO pesticide when I saw slugs won't cross a dried coffee water line either. They don't need used coffee grounds. I live next to a wetlands and grow in containers instead of the ground. Spraying coffee water around the lip of the containers I could see in the morning slug trails went up the container, along the drip line without touching it, and then making a U-turn back down the urn to the ground. I spray green peppers with coffee water to deter stink bugs and actually witnessed what happens to them. The stink bug (same color as the green pepper so I almost didn't see it) walked across the coffee water line and had visible tremors from tip to tail. It halted in place, tried to move again, got the same 'jolt', and after another few seconds flew up and away. I had no stink bug problems on any of my green peppers or any pest frequented fruits.
I love figs. New at growing. Great information. I have 3 trees. I don't have exact names on them. There white figs? Got one fig very proud. But really looking to increase the harvest by watching informative videos Like this one. TY
Thank you for your video. I noticed many discoloured leaves on youf fig trees, could that be "mosaic disease", and what is the cure for it? Regards from South Africa.
OMG! Thanks for this video!! I just received my very first Brown Turkey fig tree. It’s way larger than I expected and super Healthy but when close examining the soil I noticed some little bugs in the soil. I will take it out of this soil and treat the whole plant with Neem oil. Please let me know if you can offer any other advice. Thanks for your fabulous video on Fig Trees!🌱🌿🌿💚
Could you elaborate more about the pest described at 4:42? I recently discovered it happens to my plants, and my tree is too big to spray everywhere, thank you in advance! Subscribed for more information about figs.
Thank you very much! I lost most of my fig trees this year. I didn't know what happened but one day I happened to notice a bunch of little white bugs under the leaves. I was told to spray them down with dishwashing detergent and water but that still didn't do the trick. I will get some Neem Oil as soon as I find it. Here in Dominican Republic there are so many Neem trees. I wish I knew the process of extracting the oil from the leaves.
Neem Oil is very effective but do it on a shady day or if you can move the tree to a shady spot for 24hrs (If it's in a pot). The oil can burn combined with direct hot sun.
@@RKfigs There is no other seed that it is empty. It is not empty indeed! There is a kind of smelly air related with spirit. I know it sounds crazy but quantum physics or black holes… they are/were crazy. RayiHa/smell and RuH/spirit are coming from the same origin root word! Anyhow, thank you!
Thank you so much! We had a huge wildfire roll through our property here in southwest Florida and ever since its been ants galore! Every type of ant from super tiny sugar ants to fire ants! My figs are doing terrible this year. I think I know why now
@@RKfigs I'll give cloves a try since I can't drink coffee. I also hear that members of the mint family repel ants, and insects in general. Maybe some catnip?
Hi Thanks a lot for sharing your tips and knowlwdges on fig growing. I have used Neem oil on many ornemental plant but avoid using it on fruit or vegetable since I was aware of its potential toxicity. Have you been using it directly on near mature figs ?
No I generally apply before fruit set and after all the fruit is gone and only if I see a problem with the tree. Another good time to apply is when the tree is dormant and has no fruit or leaves, this will take care of any over wintering posts.
How do you mix Neem oil for fig trees, and where do you buy neem oil ? I have spider mice on some fig trees 😥 I have a few years old neem but it don't look as thick as the one on your video. Thanks in advance.
I got mine in the states but here's one on Amazon in Canada amzn.to/3xHY6Lo here's a video to show you how to Mix neem oil czcams.com/video/-YtaCp8m8mw/video.html
Hi, I noticed warm in the fig And they falling off before they ready it’s been gone on for two years and I don’t know what kind of chemical I can use so I can stop this happening if you please advise me thank you .
We have wasps and bees, as well as June bugs eating our figs, but we still produce tremendous amounts to eat. Both our trees are 15ft tall and produce like crazy here in north Alabama.
That's great to hear. In Alabama you have plenty of warm weather to allow for an inground fig tree to grow and flourish. Do you know what variety your fig tree is? Cheers.
I've never put organza bags from the start only when the fig begins to ripen. I don't think neem oil works on beetles but I've never tried that. However it's usually more for the microscopic pests because it smoothers them.
Yes I have Japanese Beetles in my area, but they usually stay off my fig trees completely. They love my grape vine and some flowers in front of my house. What type of fig tree do you have? Do you know the variety name? Maybe they are attracted to a specific fig type?
@@RKfigs I got a little miss figgy and ficus carica, but only went on little miss figgy and just sat there and didn't harm it but only seen once so I moved them away from the fence were there's some on the vines and now there's none so.
My tree is about 15 maybe 20 feet high is enormous and all of a sudden this year it just started dropping leaves. I’m in Florida and it was full and now I’m noticing I can see straight up through where I normally normally can’t and the new growth coming in is dropping leaves. Also it looks like something eating but there’s nothing on them. There’s no ants. There’s no fungus it’s just dropping leaves. Can you please help

Can we get neem oil from nursery
In Australia
Wow thank you. Honeyeaters were drinking all my figs, I thought it was mice initially
Mockingbirds eat figs. Naturally
I grew up with neem trees in a country thousands of miles from India. At any rate, thanks for the video.

Oh that's got to smell better at least

Wouldn't the kerosene be a bit toxic for soil around tree?

Hello? What about Black Fig Fly???
Thank you for this video and please do you know any advises about the bad nematode they are killing all our trees in Jacksonville FL. zone 9a
Duct tape around the tree trunk with the sticky side out saved my fig and other fruit trees from ants and I did not have to use pesticides.
AT early spring stage, I Also use dormant oil.
That's great. Thanks for watching!
Grasshoppers
What do you do for Grasshoppers
Chickens. A small backyard flock will eliminate hoppers.
Why does it need to be need oil? What can't we use any other vegetable oil?
Good video
Thank you for your comment. :)
The only pests that bother my figs are wasps, especially bald faced "hornets." I now cover every fig within reach with drawstring organza bags.
I hate those wasps. I use organza bags as well they are very helpful.
Leaves of fig had shrink. What to do
Have pests on my fig trees. Do I put need oil on 100% ?
If you have pests on your trees a neem oil treatment like the one I showed in this video will help to take care of many different kinds of pests.

I have those little crystal bugs all over my figs. If neem oil is toxic how can I get rid of them? It's a big tree.
Thank you so very much 😊

Will Neem work on the beetles?
Will the figs continue to grow if you put organza bags on them from the start?
I've never put organza bags from the start only when the fig begins to ripen. I don't think neem oil works on beetles but I've never tried that. However it's usually more for the microscopic pests because it smoothers them.

Can i use h2o2 instead?
not sure what that is lol?
