I noticed yesterday that my Fig tree was in a terrible state, see pictures, we have had no frost for some days but it looks to me as though it must have been attacked by frost some days ago and I have been to half soaked to notice it. Is there anything else that could have caused this sort of damage overnight?
Also will the tree recover (even if I have to wait until next year) or is it a 'Dead Duck' so that I will have to buy a new one?
I would be glad of your opinion.

Quite right, should recover. We had a few frosts down south and it burnt all the new shoots on my Yew hedge.

Thanks for the information, I shall look forward to eating fresh figs from the tree at some time at least, nothing better than fresh figs and yoghurt for breakfast.

Those figs are a stonking good size compared to mine. Ours tree is in a pot and i think yours is in the ground, which could account for it. I suspect that you won't have long to wait for your breakfast figs. Ours are ready at the end of summer.
Thank goodness only your leaves were affected.

That does look like frost damage. from what I understand they should recover. We had 2 very hard frosts in east Yorkshire last week.
