Question
I have conquered the scale and none have
reappeared for 6 months.  However, the
leaf-drop continues.  What else could be
going on?

Answer
Hi Diane,

Ficus trees drop leaves if anything at all is wrong. Inadequate light, a new location, improper watering, and need for pruning all can cause leaf drop.

If you tell me more about your tree and its environment, I may be able to narrow it down for you. Otherwise, send a request to my address below and I will send you my article on complete Ficus tree care.

If this information has been helpful, please take the time to give me a rating and nomination.
