    I recently bought two black mission fig trees. One i planted at my grandmothers house in full sun. Hers looks great. Mine i planted in full sun two days later. The leaves were starting to wilt so i planted it. The day after i planted it looked great. Then the next day i noticed the older leaves were curling and turning dark green. Now it has been three days and it seems to be only the larger leaves that are drying. What did i do wrong at my house and not my grandmothers?

    It may just be starting a new (for lack of a better term) leaf growth cycle. Are new leaf buds forming. I've got a few figs doing that now.

    I think that might be what is going on. There are some new leaves emerging now. I was worried and thought i did something wrong. It only lost 3 of the largest but there are 5 new ones so I think its ok. I will just have to wait and see. Thanks for the reply.
