Large Black Spots/Areas on New Leaves

I went out to check the trees before going to work this morning, and I found these black spotted leaves. Only these three leaves so far. This is all on new growth on small trees from cuttings rooted this last spring. I have never seen this before on any plant. Any idea or help on what this might be, and the cause.

Fungus more the likely.

Ooh, thats a lot of black! It does look like a fungus!

Just to update this, in case some else sees black areas like these, I sprayed the trees with fungicide. That seems to have corrected the issue. There were a few more black areas/spots after these first ones. But no new ones since I sprayed. I also moved the trees to an area that we dry the morning dew faster.
