mold on fig tree

Question

We have a blackjack fig tree by Monrovia planted in a pot. It was covered well since September. We unwrapped it and there is some white mold around bottom. What should we do?

Answer 1

Wrapped fig trees often are susceptible to mold and mildew if moisture and heat is not allowed to escape. You will want to treat your tree with a fungicide.
