Hi I just started my love of figs and a week ago and ended up buying a Celeste. Now after two weeks I noticed small yellow spots on two of my leaves. I spoke with the shop who told me maybe I need to water more. I live in Maryland and it has been raining a lot. Anyone know what might be happening to my plant or should I be worried? Please help.  

Hard to say. Could be a number of things. Something in the soil, something lacking in the soil. Lack of water u will see yellowing and wilting and leaves falling off to much fertilizer will burn the leafs . I wouldn't worry to much about it tho mine this time of the year always looks pretty bad with rust along with yellowing of the leaves but it always comes thur with plenty of figs. Heck even bugs can cause little spots like that. It's not till I see death of limbs I worry about anything, which I just clip out and new growth takes it place. Can't say I've ever seen a Celeste fig tree get sick and die. You would had to done something really bad, or old age maybe? Lol like I say I wouldn't worry about it. Cover your bases water, fertilizer, check for bugs, look under the leafs for bugs like the whitefly.

Its is FMV. Not a problem.

Fmv

With FMv will my Celeste be able to survive? Just a bit worried. Thanks everyone :-)

Not to worry. 
FMV/D is widespread but only appears to weaken the fig tree a bit in most cases.

Your fig tree looks fine to me. 
The fig tree should grow healthy and strong and produce figs.  The better you care for it the better it will do for you.

Thanks everyone, would spraying a mixture of neem oil and soapy water help with FMV? I hear it acts as a fungicide? My tomato plants got attacked by aphids this summer so it might help to discourage them away from my fig plant.

Hi,
My fig trees have aphids this time of the year. Spraying against may help the tree.
I rely on ladybugs for that job. If I spray ... I'll kill them all together ... So spraying or not is a matter of own choice.
A bit of fertilizer and a proper regular watering plan would help ...

Is that the first and only leaf to have the symptoms? If so you can rule FMV out, it does not present itself like that. Not to mention the borders are not strongly defined like FMV symptoms...

Did you buy another fig tree recently, maybe from a collector who could be spreading fig bud mites around?

I had bought this plant from a plant shop in my area. I looked at a few of their other plants some of which have the same yellow spots. No there are more leaves with the yellow spots as well.

It is possible the damage is from aphids, they have been very bad this year around here and are on plants (like figs) that they usually leave alone. You can look for them on the undersides or shaded areas of the newest leaves. What i have seen mostly is deformation from aphids, but also a little chlorotic spotting. I expect natural predators to take care of them before long, the symptoms on my plants have been decreasing. But your symptoms seem to be newer, the lower leaves I see don't have spots.

If it is from fig bud mites the symptoms will get worse as their population increases. You cannot see them with the naked eye, and even with a 40x lighted microscope they are hard to spot because they also infest new leaves and buds mostly and those young leaves are densely covered with plant hairs, not to mention how long it takes to look at a whole leaf a fraction of an inch at a time. A key indicator of fig bud mites is the spread of chlorotic symptoms from branch to branch, plant to plant on new leaves.

So if not worrying about it does not work you can try miticides, or just wait until winter and let the cold kill them. With only one plant there is no danger of spreading virus to the plant, it already has it or it doesn't. When plants are infected by FMV by mites, rather than grown from a sick cutting, the growths from the roots usually show no symptoms because the mites do not infest the below ground parts. So if your tree wakes up sick next year (the way it happened for me) just chop it to the ground and know you did it a favor.

Your tree is planted in the ground, unless you have very sandy soil or some other issue you should not need to fertilize. If the weeds grow well in that spot the fig will do fine. Too much growth and it will never ever become winter hardy.
