Fig Tree with no leaves left
I received an 8 yr old Fig (no specific species provided) for Christmas. It started dropping leaves, and upon closer inspection (2 weeks later) I notice scale insects all over the branches. I spent several hours removing with tweezers and sprayed once (thoroughly) with a horticultural oil. I've been misting every night and it gets bright western exposure sunlight, six feet from patio doors. The last leaf fell off Monday, I've removed most of the branches because they were dead. I've scratched a bit of the bark and there is some green below. The few new buds wilted and dried up. There are no signs of bugs. Please help!! Is it dead? THanks! Kim
