Hi.  I recently bought a Hardy Chicago (from Hirt's nursery in Ohio).  It arrived in a 4" pot, and had a couple of small leaves.  It has now grown a few more leaves, but the first ones are misshapen, and one has a sort of whitish section on the leaf.  Is this Fig Mosaic Virus?  I figure it's possibly just some artifact of shipping and the sort of misshapen leaves that happens when trees are stressed from shipping, but I'd also like to learn what sort of visible symptoms there may be when a tree has FMV.  Is this FMV or something else?  Photos below.  

Probably FMV. Don't sweat it.

Growing medium might be too wet and soggy.  Containerized figs need perfect drainage, or FMV will be the least of your problems.  Check this forum for mediums that should be used for growing containerized tree.

Good luck, and enjoy your new tree.

Here is classic FMV spotting  go to post 27 and look at top 2 leaves

Although not shown another expample is really bad deformed leaves which ucdavis ischia black displays .
When you see a leaf like that you will surely recognize it.

Looks like mild FMV to me, could be stress, but FMV is typically most pronounced when plants are under stress.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.  I appreciate it.  

OK, I researched this a little more, and I see that (according to Falk and Salem at UC Davis) "FMV" is really at least 4 viruses, believed to be transmitted by the fig mite.  (Some of them may be transmitted by aphids instead... the studies I found weren't conclusive for two of the viruses).  I am however finding conflicting info about whether Fig Mosaic really does reduce production of fruit.
