Hello Sandra,
I checked your previous questions. We did not receive any about reddish maple leaves. On 6/28 there was a maple leaf identified as having anthracnose spots.
Please attach at 3 pictures of the current issue-
1. A close up shot of leaves turning color.
2. A picture taken far enough back to see the whole tree , soil line to top.
3. Picture showing the base of the trunk, taken from 6-8 feet away.
Also, please include the tree history-
How long has it been planted there, approximately?
Has the tree root zone been disturbed recently?
Has anything else happened nearby—flooding, herbicides applied, etc?
I will watch for your reply.
