Is my fig tree dying

6 years ago

A week ago I ordered a Black Mission Fig tree that was pretty well established and about 4 feet tall from FastGrowingTrees.com it looked fine though a bit wilted (it was shipped long distance so I chucked it up to that) I potted him right away and that‘s when I noticed it had a few rust spots on it’s leaves :/ I thought it was pretty common tho so I just left it as is, however today I went to go check on all my plants as I always do

and noticed that a lot of leaves had fallen off and they were yellowing and getting even more black spots. I’ll attach a picture for reference. so my question is whats wrong with my fig tree? Is he dying?

    fungal infection I think, so sorry no-one responded earlier.

    Yes, it is rust. All figs get it in the southern states. It will defoliate the tree sometimes but the fig tree will then put out new leaves. Not much you can do about it.
