Help with identifying leaf issues

I have something going on with the leaves on some cuttings I've started and I need some help identifying the issue.  Since the temperature is now in the upper 70's, I moved the cuttings outdoors and put them in the shade two days ago. The leaves now have some damage on them and I don't know if it is a virus problem or if it is too much sun too soon. This issue started showing up yesterday and this morning it has gotten worse.

Does anyone know for sure what this is?


Figs tend to be fairly disease-free.  There's a good description of fig leaf diseases here:

I don't believe any of them correspond to the pic you have (maybe "leaf spot"?) so it's probably related to the environment somewhow (i.e. temps, humidity, PH, pests, etc.).

Thanks for that link!  It is a relief to see it is not a disease.  I was worried that is it was, it would spread to the other trees.

Looks like it maybe sun burn.

Your problem with leaves pictured is the Sun.

They are sun burnt. You can move them into shade. But new leave should replace them.

It looks like sun burn to me, can happen if the tree is not used to the sunlight and got too much at once or if you get water on the leaves and it is a sunny day it can burn them like magnifying glass.
