Fringe Tree Diagnosis #937760
Asked July 02, 2026, 4:02 PM EDT
I have a fringe tree in my backyard. It has been doing well until a couple of weeks ago. The leaves are speckled with very tiny dots & there is a medium sized dry, crackly, brown spot on each leaf. I'm not sure what is wrong. Just need some direction. Thank you very much! Mary Schwager
