Fig disease question

Hey! I'm new to this forum and new to figs =P, I'm starting with 4 unknown figs (3 from cuttings and one from a ranch that we brought with the roots) I think there is a white kadota, a black mission, one totally unknown (black as well) and the last (but not least because is my favorite and also of the ants =S) I think is celeste(this is the one from the ranch). The problem is that some black spots are appearing on this last one, the leaves begin to turn yellow and then die. I don't want it to spread to my other figs and I don't know what to do. Here are 2 photos of the black spots and 2 of the figs.  I'll upload some pictures of my figs when they are ripe.

(I hope you can help me)

Alex--
I wish I knew what to tell you, but I don't. Maybe the Encanto website will have some info. Good luck!

Can you post a couple pics of a couple trees in whole.
You could get a better answer if we can see the entire tree.

Could be some pruning issues as an example.
Just a guess.

Good luck

If you are in high humidity area, it could be rust, which needs to be treated with (if I remember correctly) a copper spray, or an anti-fungal.

Otherwise, the most likely issue is underwatering and maybe too little fertilizer. Small dark spots and yellowing are typical of leaves in the Fall, but can also happen with a cool weather period which fool the plant into thinking that it is Fall, too much shade or too little sun, and underwatering. I have heard that severe overwatering (or excessive rain) can also cause the same behavior.
