[Arid_gardener] Need help with black fig,

[Gus Nelson]

   I planted a black fig in January with a apricot, tangelo, and grapefruit. They are on a drip system and get a deep watering ever 3 days. My fig had an attack of aphids in February, and my landscaping company, sprayed with a nasty petroleum based product that burnt all the leaves. I washed all of this gunk off and now my fig has plenty of fruit, but hardly any leaves. What can I do to help it along? The tangelo suffers from the same problem and has lost most of its leaves, the grapefruit, did not lose its leaves they are just yellow. The apricot has its leaves, but the ends of all the branches of new growth look stunted. Any advice, I live in Goodyear, all the plants get full sun with a western exposure, with no shade. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Gusnaz
