my figlet has ringworm!!!

Well, OK I know it doesn't have ringworm, but it sure looks like it.  So what is it?  This is a TX Everbearing I started from a cutting in mid Nov 2012.  Transplanted it to a 1 gal nursery pot end of Dec 2012.  Only "dirt" it has seen so far has been 60/40 perlite/potting soil.  I put the figlet outside in late Jan or early Feb I think when there was a week of warm weather.  There were 4 or 5 days of heavy rain then and a week or two later the leaves showed this discoloration.  Is it rust?  I should also add that I have about 30 other figlets outside too, most were put out about the same time, and none are showing these leaf markings.

Looks like classic fmv to me

I wouldn't call it classical, maybe punk rock FMV.  :)

Yes...I had that same mosaic design on two trees that are part of my Belgian Fence...from all the posts that have been going back and forth this winter, I have come to two conclusions:  1st.  FMV is just a part of fig growing, and there is not much that can be done about it.  2nd.  In most cases FMV does not hinder the growth of the fig tree, or the production of good fruit...so I am not going to do a lot of worring about it...I'm just going to enjoy my trees.
