Fig Tree Diseased

Hi All,

I was wondering if someone could help diagnose what's destroying my fig tree and what I should use to fix it.
As the photos show, the leaves have this rust on them and the tree is struggling to hold many leaves.

It looks like fig rust Tejay. A spray of Neeme oil may help to keep it in check on the younger leaves.
Make sure you clear all the dropped leaves to get rid of the spores on the ground.
The leaves look as if they have been chewed by a caterpillar ( worm) of some sort....perhaps Winter Moth.
Check to see if you can find any insect activity around those leaves.
