Comments (10)bingo bango ... i was going to further suggest.. the barbie ... lol ... what struck me.. is that it was in a pattern ... generally.. leaf disease.. is NOT going to attack a single limb ... it will be more generalized over the whole tree ... let me further guess... it was a 100 degree day.. and a balmy evening.. and you decided to basically hang fire in your tree ... ROTFLMBO ... the leaves were probably already stressed.. and you just took them over the edge.. anyway.. they will fall off in a few weeks... maybe .... there is some branch damage.. but we will not know that until it buds out in spring ... i wouldnt worry too much about it ... its a maple.. you could cut it off at ground level.. and it will be as big next year .... good luck ken...See MoreDead tips on tree branches?
Comments (2)I have lost several mature Laurel oaks and I understand your nervousness.You should go out and observe the tree.Look at it like you never looked before. Bark,roots color.Laurels are picky and short lived.They hate droughts,they hate wet feet and they hate any root disturbance. Digging or leaving heavy equipment beneath them can send them into distress as well as age can . Once in distress a signal goes out and insect attact can occur. This distress is often a slow process so it could be something that happened 6 months to a year ago.Please look up Laurel Wilt and Hypoxylon Oak Canker just to be on the safe side. I think we all need to be checking our plants daily and looking for early signs of disease and insects. Remember that they do not live forever!Good Luck. here are some important sites www.forestryimages.org/browse/subthumb.cfm?sub=5... - 21k - www.state.sc.us/forest/idwilt.pdf -...See MoreDead branches on Red Maple
Comments (1)I'm no expert, but I believe that one effect of the hornet sprays is that they're extremely cold. You might have frozen the plant where the spray hit....See MoreHalf of Maple Tree Dead - What to do?
