I’ve had it for a few years and it seems every year they get worse, the taste that is. Now I just pick them and throw them away. What a waste.....
The weather is playing havoc on everything.Remove the dead limbs from the fig tree and seal them with running spray. Check the tree for any sign of insects. As for the roses they are heavy feeders. I would use a systemic rose care by Bayer which is a fertilizer,fungus and insect control.
If your yard flooded, then many nutrients may have been leached from the soil. In a river flood, more nutrients are left behind as the water goes down. But probably not in your yard. Tend to the fig tree as Janet suggests, then give it a year to recouperate. Fig trees and date trees and grape vine stock can live through many weather changes, but they don't get well overnight. I don't know about the roses. Best wishes 😇
Feed the roses every 2 weks and keep watered well, they will recover, it will just take time. Janet is correct about the fig tree, they are hardy too, but will just take time. I live in a hot dry climate and deep soak my roses and trees once a week.
Hi Joyce,
Contact your local / county extension service. I work with Clemson University Extension Service in S.C. (not in the horticulture area!) and our horticulturalist is excellent.
Additionally, you can search on any state extension service website for information regarding your questions. FYI, Clemson has general information for consumers on gardening, insects/pest, food safety/preservation, etc. in our Home and Garden Information Center at www.clemson.edu/hgic.
Hope this helps!
