Fig rust

I have looked over a bunch of previous posts but haven't found anything identical. I am looking for people options before I get rid of some fig cuttings I started this winter. The viens underneath the leaves are orange with no spots on top of the leaves, the leaves tend to yellow over time. I bleached all cutting before winter storage. I have treated those with coloration with neem oil. I don't really want to waste time treating them with copper, I would rather just get rid of 10 or so ones with issues.

Have these been introduced to the outdoors? 

No I have just been growing them indoors. This week is the first semi-warm week to move them outdoors.

Becky,

You may want to try Dyna Gro Pro-tekt. Read this thread and see if this might be a good thing to try rather than discard the trees. I bought some to try on some of mine that were not as healthy as others and it has made a difference.

OK - If outdoors I would have suggested sunburn as a possibility. Looks like one of my Atreano's after trying to harden off to quickly

treat with Serenade and put outside. Water the ground not the leaves.
