Fig tree disease....

 Sirs/Madams
                     My two fig trees have developed small barnacle-
like spots on their leaves.  I tried a copper sulphate/ lime mix on
the trunks last year.  It seemed to work but they're back again.  The
fruit were OK last year but it looks pretty disgusting.  What do I
need to do before spring arrives?  Your guidance is much appreciated.
I don't want anything else ( spam!!!) thanks.

Sounds like scale which you can hit with white oil. You might want to look
if ants are a problem too.

Around here the figs have lost their leaves in there annual drop. Where are
you to have leaves on your fig now?
