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.

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.
