Leaves looking dry

Hello,

I have noticed these changes since last week. Is it some sort of virus or is it just normal. The new leaves don't seem to be affected.

Thanks Dave. Do you think they will be alright or will they die ?

All plants handle the virus differently  some as they get older you hardly  notice it, others it stunts the growth if your other plants don't show signs of it  I would keep these a fair distance away from them the disease is transmitted by chewing pests and by using the same shears from one tree to another without disinfecting them first 

Vinny, are those all potted up? If so and they are in smaller pots move them to a few sizes larger pots (don't bare root them but do untangle some roots and then put in shade for a week to recover) with good potting mix/fert to allow them to grow faster. The figs that I have had that displayed these same symptoms grew out of it by fertilizing and potting up. Good luck!

Thanks I will do that first thing tomorrow morning. Should I give them high nitrogen fertiliser to begin with for growth?
