I had a handle on the rust this year until just the last two weeks when we had a run of very wet weather. Used a biologic fungicide called Actinovate, but I should have re-sprayed. Oh well, the squirrels were getting all my 'Celeste' figs anyway.
The tree is in the process of losing the last of its leaves. Thankfully, it puts on new growth next month and we don't usually get cold enough to kill it, here.
I might have to give up on this tree pretty soon, and try an LSU Gold instead. I'm sure my squirrels will love them, too.
