5 years agoI'm not sure whether it was raw, fresh or aged. Here is the labelling on the tub of chicken manure. It seems to say 4% nitrogen. Not sure if that is high or not.
This is what happened to the plants.
It looks as if the plants are dying. Should we scrape out the chicken manure?

Will the heat and high humidity cause fig leaves turn yellow???
Comments (18)Thank all for the helpful advise. Martin, Thank you for confirming that my fig tree yellow leaves issue is not heat related, which allow me to narrow down to possible individual tree caring problem. It looks like that you are living in the same area as I do, I remember you have helped me in the past thread on how to winterize the trees. What type of mulch works the best according to your own experience? Frank, I will add some lime into the soil next spring, Thanks for remind me of this. In zone5, fig is not popular grown in ground. There are same people grow fig in the pots but still is not very popular plant except few people like members in this forum who really like to grow figs. John, Vinnie, Thanks for confirming the growing enviroment of the fig trees. You both are right. Hardy Chicago originally came from sicily Italy where is an island, growing climate should be very humid. It naturally should be able to take moist air without developing disease. I am looking into the overwater issue and on the caution side, spayed the fungicide which I try to use as seldom as possible. Currently, it appears the problem has stopped developing after few yellowed leave fell off. foolishpleasure, Thank you for the Spectracide info.

Comments (1)Too much water can cause the same signs and symptoms that too little water can cause.

Comments (10)@rhizo_1 The Miracle Gro bloom booster I am using, has a 15-30-15 N-P-K ratio, so it's not really a hardcore "bloom booster" I think, but just has double the phosphates. I am using LED lights that emit red and blue wavelengths. @ken_adrian The plants are about a foot away from the lights. I didn't think they need to be any closer than that, since these LED lights emit the optimal wavelengths, and being a foot away provides the greatest coverage. Growth has indeed been slow, but still visible, with new growth, buds and flowers, since I got them from the nursery. It's just that the new growth and foliage, are turning light green to yellow. The potting media did not have any ferts, and I was just following the directions on the label, which suggests applications every 7-14 days. But I can cut it down to 50% concentration. And yes, I do saturate the media every time I water, with water running out the bottom....See MoreWhat deficiency causes leaves to turn yellow on the tips?
Comments (6)Yellowwood is native here abouts, on neutral and basic soils. Mine are in acidic conditions. The ones I see planted are more vigorous in the former conditions, but do fine in the latter. I've noticed that it is a species that tends to 'yellow out' during hot summers, much like sycamore, black walnut, and hackberry, but to a lesser extent. Yours looks fine to me....See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
