DIYPCP#88 A Lack Of Water Is Why Your Green Island Ficus Tree Is Dropping Its Leaves And Turning Yellow

So your beautiful Green Island Ficus tree is looking terrible. You  may have been told it is due to excess water. Actually, it can be a poorly designed irrigation system. On today's episode of the DIY Naturepest podcast, we are inspecting a Green Island Ficus on a Miami property with exposure to sun all day long. Having tested this irrigation system we find a stressed green island ficus. When a ficus tree is losing leaves and turning yellow, it is due to a lack of water. In fact, having experienced a month long draught with temperatures of 80s and 90s, the irrigation system was still adjusted to winter. Consequently, we find evidence of draught stress. Although there has been a tropical storm and some rain in the past month, this does not make a major difference as plants do not recover in just 30 days. Once a plant gets stressed, it will continue to get stressed. In addition to this, this zone is adjacent to a zone that is in full shade which presents another problem for an optimum irrigation system.
