I really do not know what is wrong. The white crusting makes me wonder if something like fertilizer was spilled on it and burnt it where it landed.

But the spots are reminiscent of fungal disease. Are there spots on the stems too?

Google Anthracnose on olive leaves and you will see similar spotting.

For sure I would not put it near your other trees. Some things are transferred by bug bites which can fly across the yard.

Can you return them? I sure would try.
