So did they look like this when they were dry or did they look like this after you watered them deeply?

your tree is fairly young, they certainly need frequent watering in the dry season. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

Slingha, you've got a case of Rust . It commonly happens to young tender trees, and they will usually grow out of it eventually as they grow taller and the leaves are produced further from the ground. In the meantime, spray it well on both sides of the leaves with Neem oil. every 7-14 days according to the directions. Be sure to spray in the late evening so it will be dry before sun up. Never spray any plant in sunlight to avoid sun scald. __________________ Dan~ WV zone 5-6 ________________

Bass, I just gave each one 2gallons of water, but we've had a ton of rain lately which is why thought that it was something other than water

Probably jealousy because it is not a fig. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere
