In Reply to: black wilted leaves on maple tree posted by Ann on May 15, 19100 at 21:37:38:
: We live in Connecticut,and I just noticed that a maple tree in our yard has leaves that are wilting, turning black and appear to be dying. It has affected at least 50% of the leaves on one tree, and appears to be spreading to the leaves on the same kind of tree next to it. There do not appear to be an insects, with the exception of a few "inch worms" on the tree. I looked up tree diseases on the internet, but none seem to resemble what is happening to these leaves. We did have drought conditions last summer, however, the tree did not appear to be affected adversley by that. Does anyone have information on what this might be, or who I could contact to find out what is doing this to this tree. Any help is appreciated.
It seems to be happenning here also and any information would be most appreciated.. There also seems to be alot of large black spots on the leaves
