June Berry Trees #871181

Asked June 02, 2024, 5:13 PM EDT

All of my June Berry trees have these spots of wilted dying and darkened leaves. Lots of berries. They are very mature trees. Over 25 years old. Can you help me understand?

Thank you for writing. 
I believe that this is Entomosporium Leaf Spot  https://www.aces.edu/blog/topics/landscaping/controlling-entomosporium-leaf-spot-on-woody-ornamental/

The diagnosis should be confirmed by an arborist who can determine if the tree is salvageable. https://extension.umn.edu/planting-and-growing-guides/how-hire-tree-care-professional
