took a picture of a couple leaves I pulled off. That doesn't seem good. Anthracnose or tar spots is what seems to be on the Google. Which neither are usually deadly but can cause some leaf drop. They say 20-40% and I'm concerned because the tree hasn't really changed in probably three weeks. So I doubt it's going to have anywhere close to half its leaves being ok.


Anthracnose causes leaf drop

00clone causes panty drop.
 
I hate mandatory online corporate training. I just completed one a couple of weeks ago about sexual harrassment that was just plain common sense (unless you're a Baylor football player).

Did you really mean to imply that common sense is commonly found in the general population?
If so, you bat **** crazy this morning. :smile: I attribute that to you staying up all night.

I know anthracnose in corn but not trees. It's a stalk rot that kills the flow of nutrients up to the leaves.

Isu has extension offices in every county, does wisky have anything like that? Otherwise go to a nursery and ask them what to do. If you only had the tree a few years, you can wait until next year and see what happens. If under a year, most trees I deal with have a 12 month replacement on them.

No, new NBA arenas are more important.

Response time isn't the best (often a couple of weeks) but this is a really good resource for identification of plant pathogens.

Yes, but it was a short-lived gig.


Don't use the word short when anything about a stripper is discussed.

Haven't been to the shakers in like 18 years, should go back just to see if it was as bad as I think it was, but with a 13 year old daughter I would probably get ill just walking in.
 
We do have a guarantee on the tree so we will probably call but wanted to get an idea of what we might be dealing with

The nursery that does most of our work now, more expensive but is really getting the curb appeal nice, said he's seen maples lately just die like ours did and he is clueless why.
 
My maple tree started looking kindof lousy last summer. It's leafing out but still doesn't look all that great. It's about 15 years old and I believe it is a Queen Emerald Maple
