Allo everyone.
I've noticed on a lot of my first year plants that my figs will drop their oldest few leaves just prior to putting on new growth. Some of them I heat stressed, and they dropped leaves accordingly (as expected). Others haven't seemed to mind the heat, but are swelling up their terminal bud, then dropping their lowest few leaves, then putting on some new leaves. A couple have actually been growing new leaves while they drop the oldest.
So is this just a life cycle thing? Out with the old, in with the new?
Thanks.
