[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Mary Irish]

Just another thought. Fig trees are deciduous here and while they are
preparing to shut down for the winter, the leaves turn yellow and then
fall off. It doesn't necessaryily happen all at once. So if you think it
coincides only with cold weather, they might just be going to their
small winter rest.
